Is the IMDB offline?

I haven’t been able to see the IMDB in nearly a week. Are they offline? I’m based in Korea, if that makes a difference.

Fine here. California.

Working in the US.

Fine in Australia

or

if you’re into the whole brevity thing.

I’m in Korea and it’s working fine.

Working fine here in India.

According to that site, it’s not just me. Weird.

Huh, I’m guessing the servers are in the states, as it’s working from Japan for me, and clearly in other countries as well. Odd.

I was recently in the UAE and it is was working there and from the US as well.

Working for me too. I just found out that Casino had the F bomb 422 times. A record at the time. (Or was that wiki that told me?)

What’s really weird is although that site says it’s having problems with imdb, clicking the link takes you right there. I’m guessing there is a bottleneck both you and downforeveryoneorjustme share.

Those two “down” sites only check if the web site is accessible from a single location, and only check a single one of its servers. That’s fine in simple cases, but doesn’t work so well for very large sites.

This one is powered by Watchmouse, which monitors web sites from multiple locations:

If you click through to “how do we know?” you’ll see additional info. Currently it’s showing problems from some locations in Asia and Eastern Europe, while the rest of the world seems fine.

…Aaaand it’s back up for me now!

I’m sure Mrs. Krokodil is thrilled…
