Anybody else having problems connecting to the KerbalStuff site?

[smjjames]

I'm kind of alternating between either having the page load very slowly or sometimes getting a 504 gateway timeout.

[FungusForge]

I'm getting it too.

[amorymeltzer]

I would imagine they're quite busy at the moment. US holiday mere days after a major update - servers are probably getting pounded! I'm not even playing the game until 1.1 and I've already downloaded around 20 mods from the site; imagine what everyone else here is doing...

[Guest]

I think that they have been getting a lot of traffic...

[curtquarquesso]

It's getting hammered today like amorymeltzer said. Major U.S. holiday + new update.

[ouyin2000]

Seems like their site is down again today. Must be the blizzard...

[Stone Blue]

Could be... And yes, i noticed its been slow over the past few days, and today its worse, with occasional 504's even popping up... I almost posted, myself, on this very thread a couple hours ago...

And I JUST posted my 1st ever mod "release" ever on KS last night...Maybe my upload was the "last straw...", and its MY fault... lol

I hope its only temporary, and not that its outgrowing server space... I would hate to see KS disappear, simply because it outgrew hosting space... I wish I could donate, but I'm unemployed...

PLEEZE!!... Not again...

EACH has pros, and each has cons... Every one just needs to realise, even though they prefer one, and hate the other, having alternatives, competition, and CHOICES is ALWAYS better than just ONE possibility... No matter HOW perfect that one possibility seems... We HAVE to have GOOD with BAD, as one defines the other, and with only one, there is just stagnation, and blind acceptance

I don't hate kerbalstuff it's just alot of mods don't have a alternative download sights

EDIT- Was just saying for all the people that wanted KSP to drop Curse and go with KerbalStuff this is why this is common with KerbalStuff

@MeCripp Sorry if I came off rough, MeCripp... I just didnt want to see the thread slide into the age-old argument...

a side note is there anything i can do on my end to help the site to load better, its always been a wee slow loading? but today I'm getting a bad gateway or timed out error.

[Tex_NL]

[Moderator removed defunct website link] is slow but most definitely NOT down. It has been slow to connect for weeks but personally I've never had a complete connection failure.

[Frybert]

Complete connection fail as of now.

[ultrasquid]

I had been getting timeout errors from last night to earlier this morning, but Kerbalstuff.com is loading for me now.

[ouyin2000]

Any sane mod maker should use GitHub. Tried and true, tons of projects both big and small in it, etc.

Also, you can kiss CKAN goodbye if KerbalStuff is down.

I dont have a problem with the use of Github, and would encourage it.... I just have a problem when Github is the ONLY place to get a mod...

But then, I admit of course that I am biased, since I cant ACCESS Github...
