A question to CCRL

[Guenther]

I noticed that the engine collections of Jim Ablett and N.R. Leisner hosted at Kirills server aren't working anymore again.
All other sites listed at http://kirill-kryukov.com/kirr/ seem to work.

http://kirr.homeunix.org/chess/engines/Jim%20Ablett/
http://kirr.homeunix.org/chess/engines/ ... ollection/

Access has been restored.

The NAS where Kirill had those files stored was shutdown in a blackout and he forgot to turn it back on afterwards.

Thanks for informing Kirill. Now I have to restore the previous links in the chronology ;-)

Both links for Jims and Norberts engines folders are not working again.
Any solution?

There is a backup for Jims folder done already in 2019 by Tony, when the problem appeared the first time.

But AFAIK there is none for Norberts folder?

Could you somehow inform Kirill if he is going to restart this server or at least put the files somewhere for copying?

I've let him know.

Reply from Kirill:

Yeah, sorry, it's still down. Please try this alternative link:
http://kirr.dyndns.org/chess/engines/Jim%20Ablett/

But this is a temporary link. After investigating I realized that dyndns stopped propagating DNS data for my domains. I tried reaching their support, but could not. So, sadly, I will have to stop using dyndns and move all sites to proper domains. This is in progress with my hosting, will take another week to set up new names, because I am transferring the name from another host and it takes time. And then I will need to reconfigure my sites to use the new names, which may also take time.

I really appreciate Kirill for hosting these files for free for so long. I did find another site while trawling the web that mirrors it >

Sorry, you did not read my message properly. (There is already a backup for Jims old folder made by Tony Mokonen)

I was asking about the collection done by Norbert Leisner.

Ah, it's there too, but you posted the wrong link ;)

I just tried the link again one level up and Norberts collection is there too! Say thanks to Kirill please.
