Sorry about the server problems folks. Either someone is playing a game of “Denial Of Service” on me, or the Inanis.net webserver has hardware issues.

The hardware will be replaced shortly.

UPDATE:

#define EPIPE           32 /* Broken pipe */

A process gets EPIPE when it tries to write to a pipe (or socket) when the process at the other end has closed the connection.

Bad network card? Bad network equipment between the server and the Internet? More things to look into.

UPDATE 2: Server hardware replaced. Seems much faster and more stable now, but I think there is a firewall and/or switch issue causing dropped connections to the server. This is somewhat out of my control but I will stay on top of it…
