Probably unrelated with the latest updates, the load on our servers has increased continously for the past two days.
Our present setup is more than able to provide the bandwidth and diskspace required, yet we are concerned about the host serving the main interface (the frontend of ravishare.com). The scripting done in the background is quite CPU-intensive, and written with reliability in mind, rather than performance. The number of connections to the MySQL database is also insufficient sometimes, causing temporary breakdowns in the service.
Over the next week we will be brainstorming for solutions, especially the growth-friendly type. The last thing we want is a service down every other day either by upgrades or overload. If you notice things are not going smoothly, please be patient and consider trying again after a little while. We are aware of the problem and working to its resolution.
Thank you for your interest and continous support.
