GGN：Downtime & Maintenance

Quote:

Hey GazelleGames!

Over the past year, we've seen sporadic issues with seeding values not being reported correctly. This has resulted in incorrect Share Score and seeding stats, as many might've noticed over the past as the issue escalated. Around the same time, we noticed increased slowdowns and performance decreases for the site.

After looking into a multitude of issues affecting both the site and tracker through an in-depth analysis, we believe we've identified the root cause. We took down servers multiple time yesterday to address these causes in short maintenances. Unfortunately, there were some complications in the final maintenance, which extended the downtime to last longer than intended — approximately 18 hours.

The good news is that the tracker issues should be resolved and no longer occur. They have been plaguing us for some time, generally intensified by an increase in activity. There has generally been a steady increase in torrent traffic, with new seeders sharing awesome content every day. This is great to see, and we're happy to announce that there shouldn't be any further issues getting in the way.

In addition to working on the tracker, we've identified and resolved some issues affecting site performance, so 504s/site errors should remain rare in the future! With these changes in place, we are now in a much more stable position. We are pleased to announce these improvements, which mean we can now move forward with expanding and enhancing other parts of the site and tracker. We hope to provide an even better platform for this amazing gaming community.
