I had a popularity explosion lately. See my month two stats in this forum. One week later, ALL my stats literally doubled within one week after that! And they only grew every day.

Awesome! Unfortunately, I don't think The Man is too cool with it, as he's trying to keep my down. See above link. I find it odd that my repo and Ste's repo both have the same affliction, yet he handles MUCH more traffic than I do.

Conspiracy? Maybe. Coincidence? Maybe. Bad luck? Maybe.
My money's on Conspiracy.

gl trying to fix it..i did kinda noticed that i refreshed so much faster so i thought that ud taken care of something. but then i tried to re-install customize and with it ure fix (for testing). didnt go....anyways, gl

Bummer, its nice having a repo just for ipod touch stuff.

is there anywhere else where i can get izoo

Also, go look at http://www.iappcat.com Once there, take a look at how many iPhone/iPod repositories are not working.

Just a thought.

how else can i get openssh??

helppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder I keep getting package download failures. Yay, not my fault. Anyway, best of luck to you man, I pray its back soon

lol @ you being drunk :cool:

Good luck with this, I am confused though, you say youre only using ~10% of your bandwidth? So whats the problem?!

Updated in the first post.

In the mean time, you should mirror the files somewhere for manual install. I'm waiting for the repo to come back so I can finish reinstalling the iptf repo apps, since i just recently downgrated to 1.1.2.

I thought i fucked up my touch cuz everytime i tried to install it keeps saying failure.

so..... any updates on this issue? cuz i could really use skylar's ipod customize fix......

It's funny to realize how important this repo was to me. I did a restore and now I miss my Advanced preferences:(

Good luck with this repo situation Skylar, as well as your sobriety, I hope you can work this out I'm sure you will come up with something(that's back to the repo thing).

Well, assuming I don't get too wasted this weekend, I will be trying to get the TouchRepo onto a new server. Hopefully you'll see it again by the start of next week.

Oh no, I drink like an animal.

hey Skylar..

I'm interesting to host your repo.

I got unlimited bandwidth.

(I don't know will the host kick my ***)

Bandwidth wasn't the problem. The problem is that I was opening up too many connections to the server, preventing other sites on the same server from being connecting. On top of that, all the constant downloads were putting excessive load onto the server's CPU, causing every site on the server to run slower.

The TouchRepo was a victim of its own success.

It sucks big time that you are down, most of the cool themes I find are on your repo, and now I can't install them :(

Yeah it sucks.. Now i cannot use costumize cause i dont have the fix -_-

so you better change another place for downloading files.

like mediafire, you can copy the links. (right click -> properties on "Download Now" button

but you need to change it about a month later

Just get a dedicated server. A little expensive however, put a donate button on your page and see if you can get some people to help you out. I am sure that there are a few people here that will help with the cause of keeping that repo open.

Yeah, no. I don't think so.

If it came down to it, I will. I just set up hosting with a different company, so we'll see how that works out. I still need to wait for the domain side of the equation to balance out, but for right now, I am feeling optimistic. And, with the company I switched to, upgrading will be a breeze, should I need to.

Hopefully, by the end of the weekend, the TouchRepo will be back up and running again.

The problem with setting up a Donate Page is that I am far too lazy to build a web page from scratch. I am thinking (however) if just cannibalizing one of my existing sites and converting it over to touchrepo.com. We'll see.

And I'm back.

touchrepo :(

touchrepo :(

Huh? It's back online now.

Yeah, no. I don't think so.

Hey SkylarEC, if you host get down again.

(seems like your themes took too much space, it's better to upload it to mediafire and get the link)

I can host that for you.. of course a low price.

Also, I can help you to build your site :p...

when I have time, of course.

It seems you didn't read what I wrote. Either that, or you have no idea how servers work. I have 5,000GB left on my server. The last server I was on, I had 1,000GB left on the server. Space was not an issue, nor was bandwidth.

The problem was opening up too many connections and putting too much load on the Server's CPU.

As far as the site goes, I don't need one made. They are simple enough. I have also decided to leave touchrepo as is to facilitate direct downloading.
