The original Adsotrans server (server one) went down last Monday or Tuesday. By Wednesday the
plugin scripts, etc. had been ported to the textbook server (server two). The textbook site
started mirroring the "main server".

Sometime Friday afternoon the textbook server went unresponsive. I didn't find out about this
until Saturday. Usage should not have been high enough to take down the server.

There are two possible explanations for what is happening. The first involves the two servers
suffering technical problems almost simultaneously. The second involves the MII. I know that there
has been stuff going on with them in Beijing, but I don't want to post speculation on this front
until I hear back from the server company. If this is a technical problem, I'm expecting to have
things back up by the middle of this week. If it is not a technical problem, I'd expect that the
mainland servers will be out of commission forever and service will be down until I can set
something up outside of mainland China.

If anyone is interested in setting up a mirror themselves, or getting a copy of the software while
the site is down, just send me an email or message. Things are backed up.

Any update?

The main server is back up and seems to be stable. The textbook site is down. I've complained
about the unreliability of the server and things are slowly, slowly moving. Planning some major
changes to the textbook site anyway - so the real inconvenience is that the most recent downloads
are down.

having problems with this recently, here's the error I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /new/traditional.pl was not found on this server.

anyone else experiencing this?

We're on a new server and all of the interface scripts have been re-written (that's why it stopped
working).

All three plugins should be fixed now. Thanks.

that was quick - thanks
