The crash has been solved. Reason? Apparently Kenny here started the 698 MB file download over 25 times a minute for over half an hour, totally using up all connections and more after 14 minutes. Not much we could have done about it as basically it has the same impact as a true DDoS attack. We might recode the site so that the download fails with so many heaviness going on, but we might have to set up a plan for this first because it is kind of tricky making sure others won't accidentally have their downloads fail as well.

Kenny, please try to download the file normally just like everyone else. We suppose you have been using some filthy sort of download accelerator, or there is something really wrong with your connection but in this site's statistics your connection seems to behave normal so we doubt that is the reason. At the It's eStored download statistics, your connection shows up to be insanely wild though.
