Some links are down - Please read
I keep getting 'Internal Server error 500 - ngnix' or my Anti Virus reports link as bad.. This seems to be an archive.org issue. Which is where the content resides.
I currently have no way of fixing this and any ideas would be welcome.
Also archive themselves haven't reported any issues that I can see.
I think we just have to site tight and wait for archive.org to get it sorted.
Not really a helpful idea, more of an observation. I have been experiencing sporadic "500" errors during auto feed updates from archive.org based feeds for a few weeks.. using podcast addict and firefox on android. Generally speaking an individual manual refresh, or two, fixes the issue for the affected feeds. On the occasions when this hasn't been the case further investigation usually results in indications that the site is extremely busy or down.. long load times, failed page loading, or simply errors. So far I've not encountered a situation where I can load pages from archive.org yet can't refresh feeds, or download files, via my app.. albeit sometimes with a few attempts.
My assumption, so far, is been weight of traffic at archive.org.. not least because these issues seem more common at times when higher U.S. bases traffic might be expected.
All of the above may be unrelated to what you're experiencing Joker, as I don't seem to be experiencing issues this afternoon, but thought I'd share in case it's useful.. even if just to confirm it's an archive.org issue.
Correction.. I am experiencing the same issue on some feeds. I hadn't checked enough feeds and had been lucky that the ones I'd tried were working.
You are absolutely right. In the past 500 error has usually been due to heavy traffic to the site and as you stated normally related to the USA traffic.
But this seems to have increased to the point where other users are reporting links down, and I'm finding that if I normally wait a while and try again it works. But that's not happening anymore. Archive links are down more than they are up.
As u say using the podcast links seems to be a better option because you download the links once to the podcast app.
Let hope archive sort out there load issues and @winter thanks for commenting. I hope others can use your experience to help them to continue to listen to comtent.
