Title: Where's Aminet?
Post by: lurkist on September 24, 2004, 11:00:28 PM

Have i missed something, or is Aminet down? (none of the mirrors seem to work fully)

UK Aminet Mirror (http://uk.aminet.net/aminet/)

Yes, I've noticed this too.

WUArchive is completely trashed due to a RAID failure, and it doesn't look like they'll be hosting Aminet without a sponsor once they're up and running again :-(

Something's very wrong with the UK mirror.

The main german mirror is mostly working, but the ftp interface seems to be operating strangely.

I expect the problems with the non-US mirrors will be resolved soon. WUArchive has been extremely unreliable the past few years anyway, so hopefully a new US host will be found.

It seems there's some kind of problem with all of them.  Either they don't load at all, or the search doesn't work, or the search works but nothing downloads!

I've had sporadic problems with UK, US and DE Aminets on and off over the last 3 months or so, hope it all works out in the end! (varied from no front page at all to just the file descriptions or just files ... all kinds of stuff)

Just recently the UK one was working much better though, hence I popped the link up :-?
