If you see this news then you have arrived on our shiny new server. The 2 servers that faithfully served you guys for the last 2 years have been replaced with a single Quad Core server with 4 GB of RAM and lots of bandwidth. I guess there will be some non working stuff here and there, but it looks like the migration itself was rather painless, if a bit longer than anticipated.
Update: You may have seen some weird errors lately. Yep, there is something very wrong with the new machine. I'm calling it a night now, but tomorrow morning we'll head back to the old server in order to check what's wrong with the new one. Hopefully it won't crash completely during the night...
Update 2: And here we are, back on the old setup...

The king is dead, long live the king!! :)

You guys always give me full downloadspeed (which is 2,8MB/s), I hope it may continue for a long time..

Only the front-end servers have been changed, web and database. The download servers aren't planned for a change for a loooong time :)

Back Online Again, Sweet! I just realized how much I am addicted to Xboxyde when I started coming every minute to check what was up when it was offline! :D

Congrats on the new server! :D

Great! Also impressive to see how the site has grown. I used to check xboxyde every few days back then, but after I "rediscovered" gamersyde, I nearly check it daily.

Maybe slightly, but it's just because the site has always been pretty fast I think.

"You guys always give me full downloadspeed (which is 2,8MB/s), I hope it may continue for a long time.."

Thats odd, cause I used to max my downloadspeeds here aswell, but that was a long time ago now sadly.. Now I only downloads at maximum 500 kb/sek if im lucky. :(
I thought the downgraded speeds were for everyone.

Well the pages loads a lot faster now atleast! Great job guys! :)

I can't tell the difference, but it's great to know you're now more prepared for even more users.

I hope this site keeps growing fast, but remains awesome as usual!

It really works.. What it does is bassicly bind all the downloadservers this website offers into 1 download, resulting in me almost always reaching my full 2800KB/s downloadspeed.. Plus you can pause and resume downloads later, also handy..
