Are there problems with the web server at www.python.org?
For the past several days, I have been experiencing intermittent long delays and timeouts while accessing the Mailman FAQ. Are others seeing this?
There have been some load problems on the server. We believe that it's a case of someone doing a massive "wget -r" across the whole machine from a high-speed connection.
We're working on methods to detect and deal with these kinds of situations which effectively amount to a DoS attack on the system.
