New Content Backend
In the interest of increasing our bandwidth while keeping monthly costs at a reasonable amount, we will experiment with using a new content backend later this week. This will theoretically mean faster download speeds without a download manager, more efficient content management, and much larger collections being made available in the future.
We will implement the new backend on the website before switching all other aspects of Myrient to it as well, that is, the FTP and rsync servers if the test is a success. Thank you for your patience and continued support while we resolve any issues that may arise as a result.

Slow Download Speeds
Resolved - This incident has been resolved.
Identified - We have just been informed that network maintenance is currently ongoing, which means Myrient is running on decreased bandwidth capacity and download speeds are therefore slower than usual. We apologize for the inconvenience.

JDownloader, Free Download Manager, and DownThemAll connection and multithreading issues
Resolved - This incident has been resolved. We recommend using Motrix (free and open source) or Internet Download Manager (paid) for the most consistent and fastest downloading experience.
Identified - The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.
Investigating - We are investigating an issue where some JDownloader, Free Download Manager, and DownThemAll users seem rate limited and are unable to utilize multiple download threads.

Technical Issues
We owe you an explanation regarding technical issues you may have encountered for months, in particular:
- Slow download speeds on certain servers
- Directories taking a long time to load
- Downloads taking a long time to start
- Content synchronization delays between servers, causing files to disappear and reappear upon reloading the page
- Content synchronization causing high load, and subsequently download speeds, to become very slow
All of that is due to limited funding, none of which involved any form of monetization, to upgrade our infrastructure in addition to pricing changes from our hosting provider. Because we could not afford to add hardware for quite some time, our current servers started to become overloaded frequently.
What we are doing to resolve them
We are pleased to announce that earlier this month, we were finally able to secure new hardware and migrate over 210TB of data from more than 30 servers. This also commenced the deployment of a new content backend with the goal to attain as much performance as possible out of all available funding each month. Our testing found that it resulted in much faster downloads, directory loading times, and content synchronization.
On September 11, users of the website were able to begin using the new content backend. Next week, we will deploy it to all FTP and rsync servers, with imports resuming by the end of this month. Thank you very much to everyone who donated; without your support, this would not have been possible. If all goes well, Myrient will be back to its usual high performance.
Upload Server Migration
A migration of the upload server is in progress. As a result, uploads may continue to fail and upload directories may continue to not load until it is complete. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Traffic Statistics
Last 24 hours: 213.05 TB
Last 7 days: 1.49 PB
Last 30 days: 6.1 PB
Since launch (October 2022): 49.23 PB
