Has anyone else been having problems with the Hardware Database at http://amiga.resource.cx/
I keep getting a server reset error. Tried pinging and no luck either.

It happens every now and then.

Has been down almost a week, are other threads here about it. Try waybackmachine.

Sometime around 2007, I spidered the site and made a fairly complete offline backup. If it stays down much longer, I will go looking for my archive in a mess of backup disks from years ago. I would be willing to share my archive but I would like some consent from the site owners if possible. I don't know if it is but I should at least try to contact them.

I made a backup of the entire site about a year ago, and I still keep it. So if anyone wants to revive it, just let me know and I will send it his/her way.
Anyway, hope it is not really dead,

I also have a backup (1.15GB) but I don't have the disks files :(

I've tried to get in contact with the owner/maintainer for the past months.
I could host a mirror under BBoAH.

I can host it too - it's a few GBs in total I guess ?
More than one mirror would be useful, I suppose :-)
-
The latest Wayback snapshots seem to have the disk images, too. At least that one I tried to download with success.
-
The website is now ONLINE!!!! :)
-
Hmmm, methinks I shall spider the entire site (Text, pics and disk images) later tonight.

Seems to be hosted at the Deak Ferenc County Library in Hungary.
A few mirrors would not be bad.
doing a wget -m now just to see how that works.
-
It's a Perl site - so we'd probably need a full access mirror to serve it up properly from somewhere else. WGet will definitely get you images, HTML pages and probably the disk files though :-)
Did anyone get an answer from the site owner ? As previously mentioned, it would be nice to get a dialogue going and some permissions for mirroring, etc.

I used to be in contact with him several years ago. Then about two years ago he stopped responding and the mailbox became full. Not sure what happened. However, He gave me permission to port his content over the Retro Game and Computer (RetroGameAndComputer.com)
I got most ported over, but stopped working on the site in 2012 when I could not cover the hosting fees. I am back now and with the help of others, we are filling in the missing holes.
For those who miss the Amiga Hardware Database, please take a look at my site. Regards.

If you can't host it - it can be hosted at BBoAH..
-
Here is a backup of it that I host.

The more mirrors the better. I am merging the database into my whole site as a one stop source. Not just for us Amiga fans, but for commodore, Atari and so on. Let me know if you have any Commodore stuff I could add.
