Hello,

Just reporting that files1.directadmin.com is down.
It appears to be the entire datacenter it's in, so we can assume that they're working on bringing things back up.

If you're using files1.directadmin.com in your custmbuild options.conf, use run:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set_fastest
to set a new server.. or manually set this in your options.conf
Code:
downloadserver=files2.directadmin.com
Note that installs will use files.directadmin.com, which is a round robin with files1 and files2... so most people won't notice it's even down (wget tries both IPs)

We've purchased a new box at a new location, we got it online yesterday evening.
files1 is now a new IP, new box, at a new location.

Although there was a temporary issue with the old datacenter, they had rebooted the box to kick it back onto the network.. but there was an issue with the drive, it didn't boot up, so we've deemed it somewhat unreliable (even though it did wander back online randomly a few hours later).

In any case, the new one should be rock solid from now on (better hardware, etc..)

Old box is still up, but we're not using it.

I've emailed all mirror providers to update their rsync crons to the new box.
