Sorry for the delayed response but in answer, yes, vcs was hosed up. It was overloaded due to client activity. Everything was happening at once and in the immortal words of Scotty, "The engines couldn't take it." It was gathering much attention but still took an hour before things became better. Basically shut things down and cause clients (normal clients? attacking clients? impossible to tell) to timeout and go away and then start things on the server up again. You can always get current status of FSF resources by using the fsfstatus out-of-band notification page. https://pumprock.net/fsfstatus Unfortunately the admins are a little vague in the status. Basically the problem is that the system was overloaded and running a load of 100+. This appeared like an attack but frankly it was impossible to tell if it was an intentional DDoS or an unintentional normal usage overload. It is a low performance system to begin with and with the multiple use it gets overloaded often. The FSF admins were working the problem. Bob
