We are glad to announce that we have introduced IPv6 in our network setup and on our mirror server mirrors.dotsrc.org.
Power distribution
Today between 16:18 and 17:30 our services had smaller outages during the retirement of our APC UPS (thank you APC, it has served us well) and the installation of new PDU's in our racks. mirrors.dotsrc.org was down for 15 minutes from 17:18 to 17:33
New electrical installation
The server room were we are hosted is being renovated with a new electrical installation. In that process the power was cut of today which caused us to be offline today between 8.00 and 11.00.
Dotsrc network bandwidth limit achieved
Some time ago our network connection was upgraded to 1Gbps via a dedicated fibre to the Danish Research Network. However, not until Thursday this week did we manage to reach the bandwidth limit: Over the past couple of months our average output has been circa 300Mbps, but on the 18th we were pushing around 980Mbps for about 2.5 hours, adding up to an impressive amount of data. The reason for this extraordinary amount of traffic was mostly due to new releases from Mozilla.

Downtime
The services at dotsrc.org was unfortunately unavailable today between 05:01 and 10:51 because of a problem at our ISP. We apologize for any inconvenience during the downtime.
New Firewall
Per Mejdal has kindly sponsored us with a new firewall, which should now make it possible for us to fill our 1 Gbps pipe to the Internet. The old firewall is being used in a redundant setup with the new firewall.
We have also made some network changes this evening which, together with putting the new firewall into production, gave us some frequent outages throughout the evening.

Project hosting discontinued
As of 2009-10-18 dotsrc.org has discontinued the hosting of projects. Since we started open source hosting more than 10 years ago, Sourceforge, Freshmeat, Launchpad and a bunch of others have emerged. Questions can be directed to
staff@dotsrc.org
Please note that we will of course continue to run our open source mirror, usenet server, irc server, BitTorrent servers and so on. New services will emerge in the future.

Usenet server network changes
We have made some network changes for our Usenet server. This means that if you use "sunsite.dk" as server name in your config, you will have to change it news.dotsrc.org. If you use news.sunsite.dk your client will continue to work, but we encourage you to change it to news.dotsrc.org.
Firewall maintenance
We have upgraded our firewall (both hardware and software). This gave us a downtime today between 18:57 and 20:14.
Mirror server
Our mirror server was unfortunately unavailable today between 15.20 and 16.09. We apologize for any inconvenience.
