They are now instituting a "quota" system, apparently to avoid wholesale downloads of their site. Interestingly internet archive does not get any of their books, only the front page, and nothing since December 2005! The limit is a daily one, and you are invited to return tomorrow, for another quota apparently. nwolcott2@post.harvard.edu ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Baker" <phil@thalasson.com> To: <gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org> Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 8:35 PM Subject: [gutvol-d] ebooks libre et gratuits

See the front page of the Web site for what I believe (my French is almost nonexistent) is an explanation of what happened.
The news item roughly translated is:
As you probably noted, the site was inaccessible for over a week; the reason is that our ISP shut down following "A crippling DDOS attack" which they were not able to successfully block. We changed ISPs, and the site is once again available. We will take the necessary means so that this type of thing cannot happen again; I will speak about it again very soon.
They are being rather optimistic but we will have to wait and see if their "mesures nécessaires" work. -- Philip Baker _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/listinfo.cgi/gutvol-d
