Technical Difficulties

Dear folders, we are having technical difficulties with the Foldit servers. We expect to have the game and this website back up working fully later today. Sorry about the inconvenience.

might want to post to facebook or something

Erm...you might want to make a quick post to facebook if it's going to take much longer. No one can access your post since fold.it is down (i was only able to because I was once on the "in" and knew about this path to the content.

fwiw

Sheesh. sorry. the first two didn't seem to go thru.

My apologies. The first two times I tried to post, they seemed to hang.

In fact

Now that I scrolled up, I see that I failed to receive updates for several attempts. I am so sorry.

Please, please delete the redundant posts.

in a pinch

in a pinch, they could always use netcat as a simple webserver to serve up a single page. useful when the usual apache or w/e server goes down to at least let users know whats going on

while true; do ( echo "HTTP/1.0 200 Ok"; echo; cat error.html; ) | nc -q 1 -l -p 80; done

may need to change the command for nc depending on if your using nc.openbsd/nc.traditional

Go figure...

I love how I discover this, and am totally excited to try it out, and it turns out that I can't try it out right away. I could try Wine with a windows version, but would prefer the linux version.

Anyone consider hosting the install files or something, unless someone knows the servers will be working properly soon?

Just my luck as well, I've been waiting all day to get started.
I'm unable to download the install files for mac, I'll check back in a few hours hopefully there is a update saying everything is back up and running.
