Hi,
I tried getting some stuff from the ag archive since yesterday, and have been getting 522 cloudflare timeout errors. I tried to get a few different things after that and the same thing happens. Sometimes specific pages won't even load and I'll get the timeout error. Is it just me or are others having difficulties?

Yes, I appear to be having difficulties. I wonder what's up with it?

Maybe Cloudflare is throttling them because of excessive traffic? Like, maybe the spammers who tried to attack the forum last month decided to go after them when they  were defeated here? Though I'm not sure how that'd work; doesn't agarchive stop people from spam-downloading? I suppose a sufficiently dedicated attacker could circumvent that with relative ease. Hmm.

I have tried e-mailing the creators of the archive. I'm awaiting a response now. Hopefully we will all be able to download from there again soon.

A day or 2 before this happened, I emailed them about treck2000 not being downloadable. I guess it was trying to use http and cloudflare didn't like it. They said the fix would probably go live in a little bit, and now when I try to go to the site it changes from https to http in the address bar after a few seconds.
Definitely concerning...

The developers list seems to be displaying this error all the time now. It doesn't change no matter if we do http or https. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
