    Comparing the IP address you posted your message from, with yesterday's server attack log, I'm afraid you couldn't download because you were banned because you continuously tried to open more than 5 simultaneous download connections...

    @RND Let that be a lesson learned not to attack the WoS server so viciously! ;-)

    @Martijn ... Erm ... why doesn't the "In Spanish" link say "En espa?ol" ???

    :-?

    Calm down, we are all buddies here ... just because it's called an "attack" doesn't mean that you are some sort of a terrorist (whether or not it was actually you).

    You may have noticed that Martijn mentioned that you (well, supposedly you) opened up 5 DLs at the same time ... that was all it took to be banned.

    Now ... let's just hang on calm and nicely until Martijn can answer the q. on the IP.

    /me goes out for a walk!

    I was downloading a lot yesterday, been spending the last 2 weeks digitizing my collection and those that were beyond use, I got from WoS.

    RND ... it's all your fault that I got this message a few moments ago here at WoS!!!

    426 System Load Too High
    System Load Too High

    System load too high Please try again in a few minutes Apache/1.3.26-trc Server at www.worldofspectrum.org Port 80


    You silly little git, you! Stop attacking the poor little WoS server!!!

    PS ... just joking ... I just thought it was funny getting that error message because I've never experienced that before here at WoS.

    PPS I know your donation will be well appreciated!

    Sorry, you're right, that was on Apr 11 19:11:06 (GMT+2), the day before your message. I must have looked at the wrong log file...
    I can provide you with the relevant log entries if you're interested in finding out what happened.

    I can't find anything wrong yesterday around the time bracket you posted, and you were able to successfully download later that evening.

    If you experience download problems again, you can check if you're banned (and why) by using this script.

    The plot thickens like a pool of blood in haggis ... You'll have to let us rest of the WoSsers in on what heinous crime you commited once you get to know.

    I was banned for no reason a month or two ago. I couldn't even access the forums or any of the sections of the site. Don't think I got an explanation for it either. :)

    Sometimes strange things just happen.

    WoS doesn't take donations other than new material.
    Everything here is free to enjoy, no strings attached.

    Thanks for the kind offer!

    On the other hand, the Preservation Team of the .tzx vault does gladly accept donations, which will be entirely used to buy new tapes to preserve - all of which find their way into the WoS archive, so helps the scene too.
