Bunnies for Porting Centre help

[Kelli Ward]

Hi all,
I have been trying to connect to the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre (Utah mirror) for a couple of days now. Wisconsin is down and has a splash page for this Utah is consistantly giving me 10060 Connection timed out.
Can anybody else get to it?
Or does anyone know the story?
Note: I can get to the UK site, but would like to know what's up.

Easter is coming and I'm in the mood to give free bunnies. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Kel

Kel,

I've been experiencing the exact same scenario. Wisconsin has been down for nearly a year, I think. Utah hasn't responded for two or three weeks. Thank goodness for UK!

Hmmm.....I thought it was just me. I have had some trouble getting to http://hpux.cs.utah.edu recently. I tried it just now and it came up fine for me.

Wisconsin has been down for quite a while. I've given up on that mirror.

I generally use either Utah or the original in the UK. http://hpux.connect.org.uk

Hi,
I was starting to pull hair.
I'm having intermittant problems with ITRC connection with 10060's and 404's, but Utah is consistent. (I know some is on my end.)
Case in point, I had to submit this post 4 times to get it to go.
I've never used it, is the UK mirror identical to the Utah? I was a bit worried about language support UK english vs. US.

Thanks,

[Paul Sperry]

yep

I have hade the same problem
So I start using UK
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

I haven't noticed any differences between it and Utah so far.

Thanks,
I'm over at the UK site and have it bookmarked as well.
I sent an email to the UK site asking if they knew anything. I'm curious now.
With a little luck they might actually answer.
If they do I'll reply to this post.
Thanks again,
Kel

I have always used http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ with no problems. Post what you find out.

I believe I have connected to utah in the last three weeks, though most of the time it has been down. I got lsof there, within the last week or so.

I have now run tests. My test results are in line with JRF's post.

My method of access has never been bookmark. I have software.hp.com bookmarked and clicked the Public Domain link.

Perhaps HP should make an inquiry as to the status of the porting server and change their link to a site thats up more than its down.
