It seems to me that we are redirecting too much: we are even redirecting gutenberg.org! I have tried ebook n. 14837, to avoid being redirected I typed
http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/3/14837/
and it is OK; I click on 14837-h and it is still OK; I click on 14837-h.htm and instead of getting http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/8/3/14837/14837-h.htm that is undoubtedly there, I am redirected to
http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/file?file=1/4/8/3/14837/14837-h/14837...
that gives
I see no such file here! (1/4/8/3/14837/14837-h/14837-h.htm)
That is the source of the problem! ibiblio is experiencing serious file server overload to the point of complete failure. If the web server cannot get an answer from the file server in a reasonable amount of time it calls the error page (even if the file _is_ on the file server.) Tomorrow ibiblio will move the ftp directories to a new file server. That should fix the problems, at least for some time. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
