[solved] Server issues?

[brononius]

Hey,

Since a couple of days, i'm recieving 'error searching subtitles' in my raspbmc (xbmc).
And it seems that I can't load the website "http://www.opensubtitles.org' as well.

Is it possible that there are some server issues, or is my internetlink/provider doing something not normal?

where are you from ? today all Europe got some problems with traffic. Everything should work as before. If you can, send some debug info. Also, when nothing works, try to log in in program you are using...

I'm from Belgium. So this could explain the problem then.

Problem was solved a few hours ago. Let us hope that it stays that way. ;-)

Thanks!

Hi, I'm in Brazil and got that problem too for hours.
I got this error message while trying to upload a subtitle:

Code: Select all

Error 503 Service Unavailable Guru Meditation: XID: 3609519004 Varnish cache server

So, I tried to figure out what was happening:

Code: Select all

C:\> ping www.opensubtitles.org Pinging www.opensubtitles.org [92.240.234.122] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Ping statistics for 92.240.234.122: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

The server was taking too long to respond the request.
Let's try to trace the route from home to OpenSubtitles.org web server:

Code: Select all

As you can see above, the problem was not with the www.opensubtitles.org itself.
The servers BEFORE it was taking too long to answer the request.

The problem is happening again (right now is 3:00AM in Brazil).
Can't search, downloading, nothing.
Other sites, like rarbg.com and http://www.addic7ed.com, are running fine, so the problem is not my connection.
Also tried different browsers, clear cookies, nothing helps.
Same problem happened last weekend, from friday night until saturday morning.
I believe it's a DDoS attack, but needs investigation on the server side.
Error message:

It is strange. When I try from here, it works. Can you try some VPN, proxy, or TOR ?

Yesterday, I had also some issues.
When I searched for downloads with xbmc, nothing. When I searched again, downloads found. When I searched again, nothing, and so on.
Just like the connection was too busy with other things. My internet connection was working like normal for other sites...
