Odd, I just went to get slackpkg+ working on my other box and now I can't get through to taper.alienbase.nl for all of AlienBob's stuff. I try to do a traceroute and it dies before getting there. Did we kill his server already?
Yes, it seems like the server is hammered hard. It is a simple virtual machine which is well capable of providing sustained 100 Mbit rsync download bandwidth. But it seems that everybody is using slackpkg+ to get updated from what I see in the Apache log. Too many http connections have starved the server's memory twice today and I had to forcibly reset the virtual machine on those occasions, it would not respond to console login attempts even.
