[SOLVED] Is slackbuilds.org down?

vectrum · 01-01-2024, 12:41 AM

Wishing you all a very happy new year.

I've been trying to access slackbuilds.org but no luck but I don't get any error messages as the browser seems to be trying to connect it for an indefinite period.

Please see the output of ping and traceroute. Do I need to talk to my ISP?
Should I ask them about it?

Code:

ping www.slackbuilds.org
PING www.slackbuilds.org (66.85.79.67) 56(84) bytes of data.

OK from the UK too.

seb_62 · 01-01-2024, 07:30 AM

No problem here too.

Remember that there's a mirror of the SBo repository here: https://slackware.uk/slackbuilds.org/

I was able to connect to the site from eastern Virginia USA.

Thank you all very, very much for your kind help. I'm so relieved to find that it's up. I thought it'd gone forever.
And to "tadgy", I visited slackware.uk but failed miserably to notice the repo page so thank you.
