Global ALFA downtime for central server maintenance

[Hialmar]

I need to shut down everything in order to update the central server (which manages the shared vault, the central database, the forums and the website). Basically the only thing that will still works is the IRC chat.

It will be on wednesday next week (31st of August).
The times will be 8 AM GMT, 10 AM in Paris/Berlin, 4 AM in New York, 1 AM in Los Angeles, 8 PM in Wellington.

I hope it won't take more than 1 hour.

Thank you for your understanding.

The website/forums/game servers are going down now...

Okay it took some time but everything should be back okay.

If you find any bug please report it here so that I can try and crush it

Hialmar,
I'm having trouble connecting to the 011 PWC folder at download.alandfaraway.org since the maintenance (assuming that it got maintained). I can see the folder via a web browser, but have tried at least 3 ftp clients and both PC and Mac browsers none of which can connect to upload. Could you check if any settings may have changed?
Cheers,
teric

I have re-installed the FTP server.

I just tried connecting and it works.

Sorry for the problem. I don't understand why it was removed during the OS update.

That's working for me now. Thanks!
