Server / site problems

Dear visitor,

You might have noticed, if you come here often, that the site is sometimes sloooooooow to respond to requests. This we tracked down to sleeping and/or zombie processes which bog down the entire server until they are cleared and the site is up again.

We are looking into resolving this as fast as humanly possible. The sleepers/zombies are caused by increasing visitor number and downloads. Which is not bad because that means the site is still alive and kicking. But we do realize we need to solve this problem a.s.a.p.

So we started investigating the problem and hope to solve it soon. Either by doing something on the current web server or upgrading to hardware which is better equipped to handle the numbers being thrown against it.

We hope to have a good new soon! For now enjoy this little video edit:
