I think it's a script programming or execution problem.  The favicon.ico is still loading.

Until someone fixes it, I've updated US3 to not redirect to the main page so it can be used for now:

http://us3.aminet.net/ (http://us3.aminet.net/)

This mirror, by the way, is the only one hosted on an actual Amiga.

It's an Amiga 4000, CyberStorm PPC with 66 MHz m68060 (not using PowerPC - it's busted), 500 gig hardware mirrored SATA enclosure on the CyberStorm SCSI bus, A2065 ethernet and A2232 serial card (for providing serial consoles to other machines in the datacenter). It runs NetBSD 5.

Sweet!  I always wanted to test out NetBSD!  

Is the 4000 power hungry considering its running 24x7?  I always loved the idea of keeping a Ami running 24x7 serving on the net but since alot of things are going low power consumption these days wondered how the Ami faired.  I might test my 1200 on a power meter and see how much power it chews out of simple curiosity.

Many thanks for the photo!! I would love to have a 4000!

A 50Mhz 68060 can chew up to 4.9 Watts all by itself.

Sorry, our hoster decided to make some changes for the sake of security which had some unfortunate side effects.

Everything should be working again, don't hesitate to tell us if you notice other problems (apart from the mail server being down, we're aware of that).

@cgutjahr

Your tireless efforts to keep Aminet running are greatly appreciated by all.

Now if you could just cast a Raise Dead spell on UtilityBase.com we'd be all set. :)

NetBSD 6 is in testing now. Your feedback would definitely be useful.

It has a revision 6 m68060, plus the two main hard drives are laptop drives. The picture shows a 2 TB 3.5" drive which was actually on the IDE bus and a SATA hardware mirroring enclosure which holds two 500 gig laptop drives, but the 3.5" drive was temporary as the data on it was being moved to the hardware mirrored drives. The last time I had it on a Kill-a-watt, the usage was around 70 - 72 watts or so, and that includes the ethernet and serial cards. Considering I can connect 11 other machines to serial ports (it has a 4 port Multiface as well as the A2232), it's well worth the power it takes.

Glad to hear the main site is fixed!
