I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Trinity has gotten very slow, the wiki has been in and out, and now, as you say, Planamesa is missing.
Reminds me of the 0.7 and 0.8 releases when Patrick's host kept making the binary unavailable because it was too popular
Hopefully we can find some more mirrors before the final 1.1 release. I've had more people on my torrent tonight than I did the entire time I was seeding 1.1 Beta (3-4 days). But, as Ed said, everyone seems to grab it and go and not help seed even a little bit of time/bandwidth.

Ah, the price of success..

What do you use (or what is a smart way to do it)? I don't mind seeding but I am not familiar with Bittorrent and I don't want to install a big mess for it. And I need to have some bandwith available for people who use the web services I have running on my machine.. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

It looks www.planamesa.com is down as I cannot even ping www.planamesa.com. Hopefully, my webhosting company hs the machine down for maintenance or something and it will be back online soon.
Note that the binaries are not on www.planamesa.com but are on other sites so it is unlikely that their site is overwhelmed. My guess is that the machine is down.
Looks like www.planamesa.com came back online just as I was posting the last message. Everything is OK now.
Well, I still get time-outs on http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/features.php, so something is up (or down, as the case may be). _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

I noticed the same thing as well. I was able to finally get into the machine and found that my webhosting company has been rebooting the machine every 25 minutes or so for the last two hours.
So, I suspect that something is messed up on that machine. Like most webhosting companies, www.planamesa.com is one of many different web sites hosted on a single machine so either they are doing some upgrade or one of the websites on that machine as grinding the machine to a halt.

I like the concept of BitTorrent, and I support it. I have a 2.1 GB torrent that I'm helping (not seeding). However, I downloaded the .torrent hosted by the NeoOffice/J planamesa site, but there is NO ONE home. How can I get your .torrent file and get in the Torrent to download/help.
There are 6 seeders right now. Although mine is bandwidth capped (intentionally, to leave bw. for CVS and trinity) you still should be able to get reasonable performance.
Aside from that torrent client I've tended to just use the command line ones. I'm a command-line freak, so if I start spewing "open Terminal" don't be frightened.
Ed, I still don't understand why your .torrent is 591K (!) and the one I generated was only 12K.

I don't have continual access to high-speed connections, so I'm on and off. I also have my BT uploads capped depending on what I'm doing, but so far with this Neo/J release I haven't come close to seeing them hit.

The size of the torrent file actually depends on the number of segments that you split up the hosted file into. I used a larger number of segments which, in theory, should work better for the situation where there are larger numbers of seeders with lower bandwidth connections. It's all a tradeoff, I guess.

Mine were hit early on by the two machines I was using to seed, but as more seeding machines came online the bandwidth started to drop off. I suspect it's that the load is getting more distributed

Ah, no such option in the official client, or at least the version that was current when Neo/J 1.1 RC came out. Thanks for the explanation

Sounds like someone has their piece size set way to small and the other has it set way to high. I recommend a piece size between 16 and 256k. This tends to work best. You can set the chunk size smaller than the piece size, of course.
