p2pnet - rss feed: p2pnet back online
p2pnet news | P2P:- Hi all:
Thanks for the emails, but rumours that p2pnet has been taken down by the CRIA, RIAA, MPAA, Kazaa boss Nikki Hemming, Wayne Crookes, Sandvine and/or the SPCA are all untrue 
The pic on the right explains it. Kinda. It’s what anyone with any business on The Planet has been seeing since late in the afternoon of Saturday, May 31, until earlier this afternoon
A transformer in The Planet’s H1 data center in Houston, Texas, caught fire, causing a lot of problems for a lot of people downstream, including p2pnet.
The outage was estimated to be affecting more than 700,000 sites, as well as entire hosting companies and ISPs, said Syndicated Elitist, adding:
“Many businesses have lost thousands of customers as a result of this outage.”
Then >>>
Customer servers are coming online now. We are doing a rack by rack physical check for any servers that need technical support.
June 2 – 2:56pm CDT
Power in H1 Phase 1 has been restored. We are starting to turn customer servers on in batches.
Everything seems OK now.
Cheers!
Jon

This is off topic - Jon, any chance of making the Tek Savvy ad shorter in length. It makes it so I have to scroll sideways to read the stories. Thanks.

^^ So that’s what’s doing it. Though my PC was out of whack again.
Just let me know if u need me Jon, and we’ll do a supersonic flyby of RIAA HQ and shatter all their windows if timed right.

“but rumours that p2pnet has been taken down by the CRIA, RIAA, MPAA, Kazaa boss Nikki Hemming, Wayne Crookes, Sandvine … ”
I’m sure many of us might have put MediaDefender high on the suspect list.

Read this when it was happening on their forum and suspected this site was hosted there. Saw you up the first time before you went back down but either the server load is so heavy or the bandwidth so restricted I finally gave up the first time on connecting, was nothing but timeouts.
This time I opened another tab and just let it keep trying. After 5 minutes or so, I have seen my first article here since you went off line. I gather they still have a ways to go.
Thanks for the update. Crap happens.

“A transformer in The Planet’s H1 data center in Houston, Texas, caught fire, causing a lot of problems for a lot of people downstream, including p2pnet.”
“Caught fire”? I read that the tranformer *exploded*, blowing out three walls in the process and destroying the underground cabling that supplied the power.
In any case, it’s nice to see the site back online. I thought the worse also when I couldn’t reach the site, but then I did a couple searches and found a post mentioning the data center meltdown as the likely reason the site was offline.

Yes it has been a boring week, that explosion took out a few sites I frequent.

For a big company like The Planet not giving due considerations to power supply redundancy and particularly maintainance is STUPIDITY.
A blown up transformer is a sign of overloading and poorly maintained. The planet should not only hire IT personel but Electrical Engineers as well to prevent similar occurences in the future.
Other hosting companies, watch out.

Hosting company here. Suffered a bit but The Planet took care of us in the end.
