Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hello all, I'm sorry I haven't been able to respond to this earlier. Some of my downstream sites have experienced a little slowness over the last few weeks due to incredibly high amounts of Morpheus traffic (the next generation of "Napster", which is choking 80%-90% of our lines). Last night around 1 AM, so many people were using it that it caused a network meltdown which continues to this moment, as well as the file downloads. Our Information Technology Services folks have just about had enough, and are about to clamp down on Internet usage to the dorms in a larger fashion (they already have serious crimps thanks to this). As it is, the network remains unstable at best. I know they're just waiting for approval to shut the big boys down. In the meantime, if you are having trouble getting data from me, please fail over to a backup. I'll let you know when they put the clamps down and fix this mess. As it is, last night, we had no data from 7Z-10Z due to this outage, as both our Internet connections were taken out by the extreme loads. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** Internet: gilbert@xxxxxxx (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: sebenste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
