[Closed] Trouble Downloading this a.m.

Mp3s and .wavs are NOT downloading for me this morning. Not getting the complete file ... just little 221 byte representations that of course won't play. I managed to download one complete track out of like 10 tries. I tried two different browsers with the same results.

Sorry man - server provider reported a hardware crash this morning...some problems still present...not much we can do about it...Dick will fix whatever is software/tracks related as he has backups, but might not be all fixed until tonight... Cheers, TeeGee

Yeah thanks Tee .. I saw the notice just now on the main page too .. Okie dokie!! :W

---

got it to work again. *phew brothers, that was quite close to 'oops', the main servers harddrive must have melted all the way last night... we got lucky, good to have these fallback cloudservers...*

---

Fail to prepare - prepare to fail! Well done Dick, I know it's a lot of hassle to backup all the time but it is well worth doing!

---

what saved our butts is that the files were already online on some other server, if I had to re-upload 13.000 tracks from a local backup, that would have taken weeks.
The database obviously survived as well, we would have lost roundabout two weeks of recent uploads if it hadn't. Like I said, we got lucky, and we are benefitting from the endless tiny improvements under the hood. Had this happened two years ago...that might have been it for the loops.

"that might have been it for the loops."

Wow close call :O ... good job!!
