Lotusexcel.net down this evening

[rjwooll]

In case anyone comes here looking, I have noticed that lotusexcel.net is down at the moment (17.39) 

I have reported the issue to site admin and will update here.

thanks, Richard

Won't let me on as I'm on gmail did not think it was working

[EXCEL V8]

I'm on gmail too Dave - no problems.  I think the problems with certain email providers has been largely overcome.  Perhaps Richard can comment further?

I said to Dave this morning to try to register again, or to contact Richard.

[rjwooll]

PainterDave, There shouldn’t be a problem for registered gmail users at all. I jam also a gmail user. Please repost here if you’re still having problems.

The issue yesterday evening was apparently a hacker attack on the data center, which was resolved following on site intervention.

cheers, Richard

Hi Richard I've tried painterdave2012@gmail.com but it's not happy 🙁 thanks Dave 

[rjwooll]

Dave, you should be OK now.

cheers, Richard

[Painterdave]

Thanks Richard I'l have another go 👍

[rjwooll]

Yes, I know, down again this morning - issue reported and is being dealt with.

As the second outage in a few days, this is not acceptable after a fairly long trouble free period before last weekend.

Anyone else notice that lotusexcel.net seems to be down? I get a "509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" when I try to access it.

[exeterjeep]

LEC is down as well....

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.

Happened about a day ago and good old @Bibs fixed it.

LEC should be fixed again now. I added an extra 25GB of bandwidth to their account yesterday (we host their website/forums on our server as a favour ) so they must be under some sort of DDOS or similar to use that much in a day.

at the moment there aren't that many LEC active topics.   - only 5 topics with activity in the last 7 days.
