Due to the PR1.3 announcement today, expect TMO outages due to high server load.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have to admit reggie, the server has done us proud! Last time it died in the build-up to the update release! so for it only to go today, thats pretty good!

more servers needed its not good that a firmware announcement should kill the site for a day and not only that it kills meego forums too.
rather separate them to different servers or get more b/c imo its unacceptable that it impacts other sites

I can't believe that torrent isn't already the norm, for crying out loud. I can still remember when everybody was bawling and bi*ching to get N800/N810 images and ended up torrenting the files for the same reasons. It's FAST, RELIABLE, OPEN-SOURCE and best of all it maintains INTEGRITY (hash codes!) and can even be interrupted safely. Ugh. Whatever.

Clearly it was a mistake to integrate the high-speed networking hardware directly into the forum server. If the forums had continued to simply tether via Bluetooth to a separate, dedicated, high-speed networking server that could be upgraded independently on the user's choice of ISP, we wouldn't have this mess.

Or maybe it's all the orange. I don't remember anymore.

Well, feel free to code up a bittorrent based version of APT
