Performance Issues - Update
We've implemented aggressive CDN caching and increased our caching server capacity to alleviate performance issues for downloads from the website. All content cached (downloaded at least once) should no longer download slowly.

Myrient's FTP and rsync servers are being phased out
While the ability to download via FTP and rsync is a defining feature of Myrient, the high cost of bandwidth and time spent on server maintenance have made it difficult to support those protocols. Additionally, recent events have forced us to make changes for the security of the service and longevity of all the content on Myrient.
We would like to inform you that Myrient's FTP and rsync servers will shut down on 26 May.
Downloading via the website using tools like wget will continue to be supported and we're continuing to improve upon various strategies, such as caching, to serve content as fast as possible with the funding currently available. We hope this won't be an inconvenience and thank you for understanding.

Performance Issues - Resolved
We added more caching servers yesterday to further alleviate performance issues for downloads from the website. All content, not just cached files, should no longer download slowly. We will continue to monitor for performance issues related to download speed.
We're currently investigating an issue where downloads are stopping randomly and showing an error.

Download Issues - Update
We know there are issues with downloads at the moment. This is due to failures of multiple drives. We're waiting for replacements and as soon as they're received we'll fix the issues as soon as possible.

Download Issues - Update
We've received and installed replacement drives and the storage cluster is currently rebuilding. Until this is complete, the cluster will continue operating in a degraded state. We would like to emphasize that due to the redundancy of our system, no data was lost.
