Main site down?

Postby ShooCat » Tue Apr 20, 2010 4:19 pm

The subject says it all, really. opensubtitles has been down for a couple of days on my end - and my brother's. So does the blog, which is where I would expect someone mentioning it. Only this forum here seems to be working for me now.

Is it just me? (OK, me and my bro)

Oops, there goes my grammar.

Anyway, I'm kinda relieved to not be the only one, so I guess some fix is to be expected for us poor helpless fellas. :)

Oh, and thanks for the hint, macofaco, but I'm actually not so much interested in downloading subs as I am in upping them. :wink:

Me too.

It seems to be a problem, which appears time to time.

But it would be nice, if it would work. :wink:

Tell you what.

Change your protocol to match OpenSubtitles' in methods and hashing mechanism and I'll put it as an option in SolEol.

I'm all for multiple sites, but I don't see a point in having multiple incompatible protocols and, especially, hashing mechanisms. The OpenSubtitles one is currently being used in TVRage, TheTVDB, TheMovieDB and, stopwatch in hand, is faster than Sublight's.

To me the current protocol of OpenSubtitles can be improved but is already good enough and it's completely open. I think it makes an excelente basis for a distributed system where clients can connect to one or multiple sites to download subs.

Say Addic7ed or subdivx.com want to add subtitle searching APIs? They can adopt the same protocol and immediately two dozen clients can support them.

You can help make this happen, instead of trying to make your own separate incompatible protocol and preying on the OpenSubtitle forums behaving like a vulture, trying to snatch users away. There's enough public out there for all and the whole point is supposed to be sharing the subtitles, not making it harder for them to be shared.

Yes, I have been trying for the last 4 days!

Whenever I try to open the main site and the blog, my IE brings me to this "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" page.
Is it the same for you??

I wonder if anyone is doing anything about it. Why is there no post to let us know what is happening? :cry: :cry: :cry:

I am just giving people alternative to download their subtitles, because opensubtitles.org is down.

Nevertheless, I will estimate how much of my time would it take to develop opensubtitles compatible API...

Any estimate on how long it will take to get the site up? It's been a few days now.
