-- The "tinycorelinux" website is temporarily unavailable

[theYinYeti]

I'm currently connected to Internet through a Sock5 proxy (actually Kitty SSH with the equivalent of OpenSSH's -D option, and configured to go through the local HTTP proxy), and I use Firefox, on Windows .
Almost every day with this setup, I have to try and open forum.tinycorelinux.net several times before it actually works. At first, I get this page:

TITLE: "NET.NET [The first domain name on the Internet!]"
BODY:

Oops! The "tinycorelinux" website is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.
powered by NET.NET [The first domain name on the Internet!]

Am I the only one, or is there a temporary problem?

This is the first I've heard about it in all time, so probably unique to your proxy/setup.

While accessing this post I also got an error at first. After pressing F5 it went away. sadly i was too quick with this automated procedure to see the error

I've been on daily from Hawaii for the last week. No problems.

I often have to try two or three times to log in because the web site reports that it failed to connect to the database.  I don't remember the text of the error message but it shows a 403 error.  I've always just assumed it was too busy... Or maybe it is running on Windows and doesn't have enough licenses.

Same experience as Lee here during last few days, but

certainly never ever showed up...

Yep, the forum occasionally is slow or can't connect to the DB within the timeout.

I wonder if the error I see is related to the time of day.
At 10:15 am today (GMT+2), I tried 10 times, leading to 10 failures.
At 11:00 am today (GMT+2), I had no problem at all.

If that is so, then depending on the time-zone you live in, and your waking-hours habits, you may never see this error…
