Uploadz?

[Recursion]

Hello,

How come yesterday Uploadz went down? There are hundreds of images around Habbox showing as Red X's

Tom...

[timROGERS]

Something seems to have gone wrong with, which I will look into :O

EDIT: Everything seems to be gone :S and the password has changed.

Now its going to a HostCenter site:

Yeah I know :( I've contacted Danny, but he isn't replying, probably hasn't got up yet. This is all looking very bad at the moment, I would put a maintenence page up but the cPanel password has been changed. It may just be suspended for bandwidth overuse (100GB yesterday).

Happy birthday btw :D

[Recursion]

Thanks :P

[Luckyrare]

I think the problem is this. The host we use oversold there server, we hadnt gone over our amount allocated but we had gone upto 80% bandwidth.

So they got a alert as shut us down because of a "TOS" abuse.

The site will be up asap.

[Jackboy]

Ohhh i love Uploadz :) its a neat and slick and easy to remember site lol

[=gamemaster=]

I was just aabout to make a thread :P Then i saw this...

Will images be working again once up??

[Luckyrare]

I have just bought some new hosting, the site will be backup asap.


Some problems will be with getting a up to date backup, some files may need to be reuploadz.

[redtom]

When did you last make a backup of the site?

[timROGERS]

Hosting is now bought, it's a great host with almost 2TB bandwidth :)

[=gamemaster=]

Tb?? |:O NEVER HEARD OF IT -.- That must be alot :P

[Luckyrare]

When did you last make a backup of the site?
I was just about to take a backup when I noticed the error that the hard drive was full.

Hopefuly I will get a new backup otherwise I will have to use a older one.

[Rasq]

thank goodness i sticked to photobucket and my own cpanel for uploading others uploadz is aloud of *Text removed* imo

[Luckyrare]

Uploadz is faster than photobucket. "/

[=gamemaster=]

Lol and better... :P

[Luckyrare]

DNS is just setting up atm, I may aswell upgrade the platform to Nyx at the same time. (not the full version, just the basic platform)

[=gamemaster=]

:O GDGD! how long? PS: Do you get accounts on nyx?

[Luckyrare]

Yes but not straight away. It will look the same just be working on the coding for Nyx, give it 2 weeks and it should be users (optional).

Also there will be all the files online from the second we went down, so you havent lost anything ;) Due to the backup been over 18gb it may take some time ;)

14 hours and it should be back up, 24 hours and all the files will be back online.

Sorry but uploadz is alot better than photobucket, do you have any idea how long photobucket takes to load :rolleyes: Il stick to uploadz thanks :]

[Jackboy]

Tb?? |:O NEVER HEARD OF IT -.- That must be alot :P
Lol TeraByte is like 100GB i think...

Lol Uploadz is aces.

[Recursion]

TB = 1024GB or around 1000 GB anyway :)

[Scania]

Uploadz - The bomb tbh.

[timROGERS]

We should be back up sometime today, although we may be missing some files unfortunately.

photobucket doesn't go down like uploadz soz

edit:

and if photobucket goes down we don't be missing half the files :)

[Mentor]

Who uses photobucket? i prefer my uploads without data mineing. Imageshack.us is where i useually upload, its nice, simple and fast :p

Ditto, I used imageshack then n2u for like 1/2 year back to imageshack now

Uploadz hardly ever went down...... and what do you expect with Photobucket? They host billions of images so they will always be taking backups.

Imageshack is proper slow for me.

Uploadz has only been down twice from what I recall. Thats time time and we where down for about 40 minutes. Uploadz wont be missing any files, so get your facts right please.

[=gamemaster=]

Gl danny, will we have accounts??

[the wombats]

Gl danny, will we have accounts??

You will be able to, but not yet. I think Danny has said in this thread that they'll be available 2 weeks after it's re-opened or something.

[=gamemaster=]

He said were having nyx but not full version so probally not thinking about it..

[Firehorse]

TB = 1024GB or around 1000 GB anyway :)

1TB is exactly 1000GB, They created a 1TB Hard Drive and it was 1000GB's. (just so u know)

I think your getting 1024 from 1024MB RAM which is just doubled from 512MB. It's simpler putting two 512mb RAM in than having a whole differ made.

Only getting the basic version for now. ;)

No its not :rolleyes: Although hdd advertisements often claim it is, simply to make hdds sound bigger than they are, one terabyte = 1024 gigabytes.

8 bits to the byte
1024 bytes to the kilabyte

Why 1024? well computers, unlike us work in base 2, because everythings stored in binary, ones and naughts. Thus..
0=0 * 1 bit
1= 1
10=2
11=3 * 2 bits
100=4
101=5
110=6
111=7
note naught is still a place, so in hdd terms 8 differnt hard drive memoery spaces exist when useing 3 bits
4 when useing 2 bits
and 1 when useing 1 bit.

Notice anything here? contuing on in base 2, we find as we increase the bits given to store data
1 bit = 1
2 bit =4
3 bit = 8
4 bit = 16
5 bit = 32
6 bit =64
7 bit = 128
8 bit = 256
9 bit = 512
10 bit = 1024

Thus in order to have 1000 memoery locations, you still require 10 bits, yet that same memoery actualy stores 1024.
Which is why in computer terms each kb or mb or gb is comprised of 1024 of the lesser size,
1024kb = 1 mb
1024mb = 1 gb
1024gb = 1 tb
1024tb = 1 pb

I aint slept at all since yesterday so my explaintions probably a little unclear, but point is, 1 tb = 1024gb, not 1000, since computers work in bace two, not base 10, meaning Jaffa Cakes! was right.

[Recursion]

I love your long and detailed explanations :P

Never got how to work it out, dad and my big brother can, i never understood it, but i am only 14 :rolleyes:

haha, class +rep.

Uploadz is a fantastic site! :) Well done guys.

Also I think that photobucket and imageshack have several servers so they will spread them around - and probably have an automatic of site backup just in case. So loosing a few files when they are manually backing up and using one server is a feat in its self so KUDOS to you!

[Eccentric]

uploadz ftw. :) gl danny.

[Luckyrare]

Due to a problem with the backup ftp site, the full backup will take a bit longer than expected.

There will be 2,000 files restored by tomororrow and then I will restore the other 35,000 files during the week.

The uploading tool should be up buy early afternoon tomorrow.

Thanks for the update Danny :)

[Recursion]

Can't wait :] I have to use my own hosting without Uploadz :(

[Luckyrare]

just noticed I how I spelt by as buy.

I am going to have to transfer 18gb of data - it will take days ;(

Most of that backup is done now (2,000 files)

[Invent]

I have to say Danny, I'm amazed by the commitment you're having with Uploadz.

Anyone else on this forum would just get a new host and open the site again, but your fixated on getting the files back.

For this I "applaud you" :P

[Luckyrare]

Thank you x]

I am currently downloading 18gb of files worth of backup - Uploadz files should be back with you as soon as you get the DNS.

I have got about 3-4k of files back on the new server.

[Colin-Roberts]

uploadz.co.uk is back for me but it's just a grayish background?

[the wombats]

It's the same for me. I think he's getting all the files back on the server first. The proxy is broke for some reason aswell now. :S

[Luckyrare]

Yes thats correct, if you view source some images are there just not uploaded.


I beg that I have all the files downloaded by 12 tonight so I can start the uploading again

[=gamemaster=]

Gl lucky :p

[Rasq]

moral of the story: only use upload sites that take backups and can get back up as soon as possible. (and probs not run by under 21's lulz)

No caus ethat could have happend to any one it's not dannys fault and can i say uploadz is a lot better than any other upload site i know and it is only in it's beta at the moment

[VistaBoy]

Yes i can not wait for uploadz to come back as it i a very good image hosting :p

lol - you are so funny!

Go away and get a social life please <3

There have been so many successful websites founded by people below 21.

If you dont run a website yourself, please dont even say crap like that.

Lmao, that's gotta be one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Danny does take backups of Uploadz, just he can't get one like everyday cos of the size of them. Also, the age has nothing to do with it. I've visited sites that have shut down because the owners weren't dedicated enough, and they were over 21. Danny is young, and very dedicated into keeping Uploadz open. :rolleyes: So please, before trying to think you know it all can you get your facts right?

[Luckyrare]

The site is back up.

Currently mysql isnt running on it as it normaly does (displaying templates, logging file data etc) that will be back up soon ;)

Ok, thanks Danny!
