Title: Istock site - 503 error
Post by: xst on September 24, 2009, 09:13
It's again.

site is hiccupping
Up and down
The most ironic part: off site server to provide emergency status http://www.istockscoop.com/ (http://www.istockscoop.com/) is down as well

Same problem here.

Weird that both domains are affected.

They were fuzzing around with the FTP server for video uploads which was supposed to be up and running by now...

Shouldn't have anything to do with the HTTP end though.

Maybe all the new features and benefits they recently announced caused the site to crash  :D

But hey, it wouldn't be the first time that IS has a "little" hiccup while implementing new features...

Same error here as well. Very creative error 503 page though.

Maybe is the old problem... when they have lots of customers the servers resent... I also was selling big today...

FTP server for video uploads

That's enough to get my blood boiling!  >:(

The photographers that have been with them for years are stuck with their HORRIBLY slow http upload system and videos get FTP?!?!?!

The list of things that I dislike about IS is never-ending! The ONLY thing that I like is the money...  :-\
