This is one of the most common server errors - and it has nothing to do with this or that specific subtitle.

It is just a temporary site wide error. The solution is just wait. Usually, one minute later or one hour later, the problem is solved.

There have been quite a few of such incidents.

You posted this off-topic, so I moved it to a more suitable topic.
I suppose you have the answer now, too :)

This has been happening repeatedly hence I reported it. Aren't the logs showing you something ? I dunno what you are using in backend but if you are using apache then apache logs should give you some stats.
