Forums have been getting slower and slower all evening (10:30pm UK time) and finally gave up the ghost.

yep, there was high traffic. It should be fine now - we changed caching for the web.

I’m sorry about the slow response, but people are downloading like crazy, today we have over 750 GB traffic.

Ok, just thought I’d let you know as the forums have been pretty good for quite some time now, so it was kind of obvious that something was amiss.

[edit] Seems back to normal now :) [/edit]
