Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

Incidentally, I have had a few downloads in the past 3 weeks that connected to Akamai instead of Hostworks (my ISP is iiNet, should be free on Hostworks).

Yep that's one of 3 different server issues I've had the past week or so (I'm with Adam fyi, so also meant to be through hostworks), though my downloads never went through when connecting to akami.

2nd was unable to connect at all via downloader or iview site for a few hours

3rd was a 0kb file (Good Game) that was fixed later.


If the past is any thing to go by this suggests either the hostworks server is being over loaded at certain times again, or they are messing with the server again (eg maintenance or optimisation hopefully nothing more).

yeah this is iviews fail safe, should one server provider fail (pretty much equals "hostworks") then all traffic is rerouted through the other as a stop gap, has happened a couple of times since iview started.
