Don’t forget…the forum and MML will be off for a period tonight (UK time). I’ll be in bed when it comes back on so I hope there aren’t any problems!

Apparently it is back on line now.

It was not resolveable a earlier today.

I’ve not had a chance to check when it came back on yet, but the brief checks I’ve made suggest that it’s all back and running OK.

It was fine here at 0500 BST.
Is it my imagination or is it much faster now ?

It could be faster for two reasons…

  1. The server has been rebooted which tends to tidy up memory, get rid of any small leaks, reduce the number of processes back to minimal levels.
  2. The server is now sat on a network link that’s burstable to 100Mbps rather than 10Mbps. 10Mbps may have been a bit of a bottleneck at times, although I doubt if the server can produce very high sustained network rates to make use of the new 100Mbps ceiling.
