| Mythica update | |
| Posted By: Brian <brian@mythica.org> | Date: 8/26/03 7:35 p.m. |
In Response To: When will Mythica come online again? *NM* (Gre'Thor117) Here's an update on mythica that I was planning on posting on the 22nd (a month after mythica went down) but forgot. As most of you already know, mythica's colo provider went out of business about a month ago. While that was a significant problem, it should have been fairly straightforward to resolve -- get the box back from the old company, find a new colo company, and send it out again. Most of you will probably recall that there were some problems finding a new colo because of my budget and things like that. Well, I have found a new colo company, but here's the thing: I don't have the box back yet. There are a number of reasons for this, most of which aren't very pleasant, and I'm not going to elaborate on them right now. I can't really do a whole lot until I get the box back, so I'm kind of stuck. So what's probably going to happen is that I'll buy a new box, colo it, and then if/when I get the old box back I'll just sell it or something. This will take some time, but it's a lot better than waiting to get the old box back (which is something that might very well never happen). I want to thank all the folks who have e-mailed and called offering assistance. Many were a bit out of my price range, a few had no idea how big of an undertaking mythica is (5GB/month doesn't quite cut it -- mythica uses that much in an hour), and there were several quotes that were useful to me. Useful or not, though, I really appreciate it. I'd also like to thank all the folks who have stepped in and provided hosting in the interrim. Whenever mythica does come back, there will be some changes. It'll have a lot less total capacity than before (30Mb/sec to start, down from 100Mb/sec), most importantly. There will also likely be a cap on how fast any one client can download from the server (something in the range of 1.5Mb/sec), and I'm not going to let single clients download several gigabytes in a day as has frequently happened in the past. None of this is final yet, but it should give an idea of what will happen. At any rate, that's what's happening. | |
