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.

Hello everyone. We know there are currently many problems with Myrient. The following is a non-exhaustive list of issues:
- FTP server offline
- rsync server offline
- Increased HTTP 429 errors
- Increased HTTP 500 errors
That is due to the high costs associated with running such a service. For all of Myrient's existence, we have been paying for a large percentage of monthly costs out-of-pocket. The monthly costs are as follows:
- Storage: $3137/month
- Servers: $541/month
- Offsite backups (shared with hShop): $138/month
"Storage" refers to the 432 TB of HDD storage which stores all of Myrient's content, along with 40 Gbps of bandwidth. "Servers" means the FTP and rsync servers, with 10 Gbps of bandwidth shared between them. "Offsite backups" is the cold storage used to store backups of Myrient's database and parts of the site frontend. The monthly costs in total is $3816. The total monthly donations on average was $1300. This means I have been paying the remaining $2516 to keep Myrient online. This is not sustainable for the future of Myrient.
While I appreciate everyone who has donated so far, it is clear that donations are not enough. More will have to be done to decrease costs, such as removing content from the site, decreasing the amount of bandwidth available, and removing certain features, such as FTP and rsync servers. These actions will cause a worse experience. I strive to keep Myrient free of ads and keep download speeds high, but this is becoming increasingly difficult.
This month for the first time in Myrient's history, 100% of the monthly costs was covered by donations. I have ordered more hardware and expect the issues mentioned to be resolved by the end of next week. The future of Myrient is in your hands, so please keep this in mind the next time you are using the service.

The new hardware has been installed and is now live. The HTTP 429 errors (rate limits) have been removed and HTTP 500 errors have been eliminated. Additionally, the FTP and rsync servers are back online. I will continue monitoring the performance and stability of the infrastructure over the next few days.
After the last announcement, we received an outpouring of support including more frequent donations. Thank you to everyone for still believing in us bouncing back from the issues and downtime.
I would like to address the most frequent concern many have asked about, which is the removal of content. We do not have plans to remove any content at this time. Nobody likes bad surprises, so if we ever have to remove content or make any other changes to Myrient that negatively impacts the user experience, we will give advance notice before doing it. Of course, any content that is removed will still be available in our offsite backup. Once again, thank you for your continued support!
