Just in case the people who can fix it can't tell, the server seems to be having conniptions at the moment. Pages are often failing to load entirely, and often without stylesheets.

Was happening on the DOSBox website too, but for the moment, things seem to be working properly again. *shrugs*

I was downloading about 20 things at once so I thought it was just me. But yeah a few hours ago I was having server issues here at Vogons.

Seems ok now?

Odd, it's not just here. I'm starting to see discussion of other sites acting up in different places. Does the internet have it's own weather? There seems to be some sort of storm moving through it.

I had a lot of port scanning from Chinese IP addresses bring my site to its knees a while back till I blocked most of those IPs.

YouTube was throwing me random 502 errors at the same time VOGONS was throwing 500s. However, during this time, I visited several pages each on five other websites, none of which had issues. *shrugs*

It looked like there were too many connections going on. Not sure who are what caused those connections.
