There is another problem with the main FTP site, today. Accessing the site in ADT mode doesn't work

 Sorry, I completely missed that one.

Could you be more precise? What doesn't work (search? recent?, MOTD?, dir listings?) and which client are you using?

I'll have a look at it, though I'll have to install an ADT client first, can't boot into OS3 right now.

 Well, i'll have to apologise too, because i also missed your post somehow. :-D
 I'm using ATC but i can't give you any details right now because ALL the servers that i have tried are dead at the moment i'm writing this. I'll have to try later. Iirc, searches didn't work but i'm going to check it when the servers are back, to be sure.

 Right, servers are back. All ADT functions are working except of Search and Charts. If others doesn't have this problem, then i need some advice on how to configure ATC properly.

Aminet has been dead since approx. 7/1/07.

I can't upload via the site, & I can't upload via FTP. Most of the mirrors are down. The only site that sems to still be up is uk.aminet.net, and they only have old downloads (ie. before 7/1/07).

Aminet is such an important resource for the Amiga community that it is vital that it stays up 100%. I thought that the mirrors were supposed to ensure complete availability, however, uploading via uk.aminet.net doesn't work either (no Type field), and in any event uploads don't seem to be propagating.

Can we at least get an estimate of the length of this outage so that we can decide whether to start to start another Amiga PD site?

I emailed the admins a couple of days ago.

Got a couple of replies. The gist is that it's a combination of software and hardware problems, the fact that they are busy with other things and have little time, and that the cause of the problem has not been identified.

I offered my help, but got no reply as of yet.

http://ftp.sunet.se/~aminet/ seems to be working normal.


...does not work at the moment (at least not here)

//Azvareth

edit:
...but!
http://ftp.sunet.se/ has a link to http://se.aminet.net/ that redirects (at the time being) to  http://www.aminet.net/ so is this mirror gone?
