Wh@t：我们回来了，但还有很多要做

Over the last few days we've had some trouble with the site, but it's finally looking like we're past that. In the perfect example of a cascading failure, one thing led to another until we had a whole lot of work. What happened, in brief, was that our server links failed after a restart (because of an earlier DDoS) and the switch that controls that got entirely overloaded (which led to all the slowness) as a result of the tracker backlog during which we were getting around 30,000 requests a second. This meant that we had to first spend a few days troubleshooting before locating the problem and rebooting the system, which explains the downtime.

Thanks to porkpie and A9 (amongst everyone else who either offered or provided help) for their work in fixing this, and thanks everyone for your patience. We still have a few things that need restarting or resolving, namely a lot of our schedule is not running. This will mean that for the time being the scripts that control removal of inactive torrents and the loss of leeching privileges will be suspended, though those functions will have returned by the end of the day.

Note: Because the tracker had to be restarted, it will take approximately a week for everyone's required ratio to return to its correct value.

=========================

过去的几天对我们来说是难受的，不过最终我们认为这次劫数已经过去。这次服务器连锁问题的绝好例子在于一个（不大不小的）事件导致了整件事滚雪球般扩大。长话短说，我们的服务器链接在服务器（因为前期的DDoS）重启后，其中一个控件高度过载（导致了服务器的缓慢），导致服务器需要承受每秒30000次的访问高压。这意味着我们需要花费几天查找原因，之后我们才能确定问题所在，然后才能重启服务器。这就是为什么过去几天我们无法访问。

感谢porkpie和A9（以及所有帮助了我们的人）的大力协助，以及各位的耐心等候。我们现在还有这样那样的问题需要解决，比如自动清除死种的脚本和（低ratio会员）不得下载的脚本目前都暂时无法运行，虽然这些功能已经重新加入。

PS：因为tracker需要重启，所以各位的（留在wh@t所需要的）最低ratio值大概还需要一周才能回到正常值。
