Site Suspended!
Posted: 09 Apr 2013, 16:46
Not sure if any one noticed but this site (plus my main site) was taken down temporarily this afternoon for about 15-20 minutes. It turns out that I had a zipped T-Mobile OS file for a Galaxy S3 sitting in a temp folder that I had forgotten about. Well, Google in all its pervasiveness had found that file and made it available for the entire world to see and thus download. The file itself was almost 800 megabytes and consequently, the number of people downloading this file placed an immense load on my host's servers.
I can understand their concern. However, what I didn't appreciate from iPower was the sudden suspension of all my web sites without first notifying me of the reasons why. It was a good thing I was actually using the forum when it went down as I was able to call them right away to get to the bottom of it.
Anyway, I hope this is the last unannounced interruption we experience for some time. So, with that said - apologies for any inconvenience the outage may have caused. Carry on my good Knights!
