Great..

JUST when I want to update my aging Torque CVS snapshot from garagames, it appears to be down.

Even when I go through my CVS client, I'm getting MySQL database errors from the site..:(

Anyone know what's going on (out of curiosity)??

24 hours down now.. Well, 24 hours since I noticed it was down.. Getting following:

"Please be patient and try again in a few moments.
GarageGames.com is currently experiencing an extremely
high volume of traffic. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

--GarageGames"

Guess that some SLOW traffic :) Wonder how long this will last (forever ?)

Yeah but I've tried to use google to find ANY resource on GG.com that I can get into....every HTTP request is shunted to that page. :(

Even their CVS server seems to be down

Ouch...prospects aren't good.

1. DOS attack...
2. Server crash
3. Trying to restore from a backup..ouch.

or worst of all

4. Company folded.

:(

Just when I was breaking through in convincing my team to move to Torque for the cross-platform sales benefits...

I don't think you need to worry about them going out of business anytime soon.

Yes, after finally getting their server running again the one thing they would want it for everyone to start hammering it with download requests. GG!
