Shortened of course, in the mod name. Content via script is a very bad idea, IMHO. Do you think that if somebody did that we could take easily decisive legal action when... those... images show up? I wouldn't personally do that but I'm pretty sure that that's a crime basically worldwide. So it wouldn't matter where they are, we could take them down.

Andem Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 In case you didn't already know, this "Hoang Lam" lives in Ha Noi in north Vietnam, which explains the lax copyright enforcement. Apparently he has 64 such websites running, although it seems that some of the sites are backups in the event that the main site gets taken down. This guy knows what he's doing.

VITAS Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I did. Thats why its hard to get anything done he isnt willing to do (e.g. remove copyrighted material). What angers me most is that its a succsesfull business practice (see how other large companies started) and my ethics prevent me from beeing like them.

Cetera Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Can Spacedock simply block 100% of Vietnam IPs? I doubt we have much, if any, of a userbase there. If they are using a non-Vietnamese IP to scrape, that wouldn't necessarily help much, though. Can you tell?

VITAS Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 @Cetera I identified their hosts and blocked api acc. But theres always a way arround that. If we even have one normal visitor from vietnam its a nogo to block a whole country or ISP. (How would you feel if you where blocked because of someone elses missbehaviour?)

Stone Blue Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 @VITAS I'm having trouble with the site loading... I used the perviously posted testing links, and the main SD link takes minimum, at best 2.5 secs to load... Sometimes going as high as 15 secs, or not loading at all, giving 503 error... Currently, the US link times out and wont load at all for me... LMK if I can provide any other specific info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VITAS Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi, strange. I added Caching. So it *should* at least be more constant. I tested it using a bunch of Website performance sites and get loading times of about 1.5-2s (not stellar but ok-ish) Bad thing: i will be on vacation for 1-2 weeks starting tomorrow and dont count on inet acc during that time. Would be good if you do some periodic checks and let me know if its only a hickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Blue Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Ok... I usually scrub the site once or twice a day for new/updated mods... Currently, the site seems now completely down for me... Very spotty, with mostly 503, & occasional 502 errors... Lemme clear my cache and restrt Firefox EDIT: yeah... about half the time the main page will load... 2.5 ~ 15 secs... howver, using the US, Eu, Asia links, NONE of them EVER load for me EDIT 2: Same exact behaviour in fresh, clean Chrome install If I have any more issues later on (in the next couple days), I'll shoot you a PM, so not to clutter the thread Edited September 12, 2016 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStaal Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Similar behavior here - the last couple of days there have been intermittent errors, usually 503. A reload will typically solve them, but not always immediately. I'm East Coast USA, DC area. spacedock.info resolves to: 46.101.184.174 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Its weird, becuase when the main site loads, certain mods will load and reload fine, repeatedly... Other specific mods, will not load AT ALL...

VITAS Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) thats because i overloaded the core server and the cdn is doing its thing (caching stuff). i hope its getting better now that ive finished doing the cpu intensive stuff. btw funny thing: i tried to check the thread and the forums where giving me a blank page. maybe some slowness /maintenance here too?

popeter45 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 all the zips i have download where cut short during the download is that related to the problems with 503's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andem Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Y'know, I thought it was just the one .zip in particular, but it got so mangled in the DL that windows couldn't open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxg2827 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi. I am experiencing an issue with a mod I have on SpaceDock. Users have been mentioning that the most recent version gives them errors when trying to un-pack the zipped file. Error reads Quote Can not open file '(local location of file edited out for this post) CxAerospace_Station_Part_Pack-1.3.2.zip' as archive or Quote Windows cannot open the folder. The compressed (zipped) Folder 'C:\Users\...\CxAerospace_Station_Part_Pack-1.3.2.zip' is invalid I downloaded the file about 2 hours ago without getting this issue. But after re-downloading ti a few minutes ago I am now experiencing the error. Any idea whats going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VITAS Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) i just restarted apache. my guess: server overloaded. apache served corupted files to cdn. cdn now serves cached corrupted files. solution: restarting cdn caches. hope that helps . done the above and test downloaded the most popular mods. the cfg files opened fine and looked ok. (didnt test them). i hope it stays that way. Edited September 12, 2016 by VITAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VITAS Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) just learned two lessons: stuff goes south when you only want to go to bed and ppl start to recognize what theyve lost when it stops working. restarted more stuff (getting out of stuff to restart soon ) Edited September 12, 2016 by VITAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VITAS Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) im still getting errors (oin some mods) its that oposite-of-heavenly python code web of sparkily ponys with rainbowhats i simply dont get it why ppl love this language its performance is poor at best. (*curses*) Lets hope its the server side caches still full of old bits. if you come accross 503 errors just wait 3s then hold shift+press the reload button (that ignores your local browsers cache and hopefully forces the server to rerequest the site) if that doesnt work (and still doesnt after lets say 20 minuts for the SAME url) ive to find ways...i dont know yet. things that wont make anything better: im forced to do a thing called "vacation" tomorrow. and will be offline for most of the time. so for my RL i hope its fixed. IF not: grab some darklight if available. Hes got acc to fix the things. Edited September 12, 2016 by VITAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darwinian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It still seems to be having issues... I'm still getting a 503 for every mod I've tried to download, even after using shift+reload; even when it works and *starts* downloading, it stops after a few megabytes with the same 503.

darwinian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Also got this error, don't know if it helps: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
