Laugh at Karl, win a t-shirt
When you work with the Eclipse servers intimately, you’re bound to break them at some time. I’ve done it, Matt has done it, Nathan has done it, and even Bjorn has done it. This time, Karl earns the clown nose for removing all our download mirrors from the list (he wanted to disable just one). Without mirrors, our downloads servers just died, leaving you at a dead end for Eclipse downloads.
Using our bandwidth graph above, can you tell when that happened? The first person to correctly identify at what time Karl pressed “ENTER” to the faulty command will receive an Eclipse t-shirt.
… and Karl, welcome to the “I broke eclipse.org” club!

Is the guess of 18:45ish too obvious to be correct?

Apparently I can’t read a graph, I was originally looking at the jump just after 19:30. But I’ll stick with my original answer.

Speaking of shirts, how’s this?

I guess it was at about 19:40, when the curve started climbing steeply upwards… outsch!

Andrei and Michal, you win!! Please email me your shipping coordinates to webmaster@eclipse.org if you’d like me to send you an Eclipse t-shirt. I’d also need your shirt size, too.
Congrats!
BTW, Kevin, you were disqualified because you already have Eclipse t-shirts

What scares me how how close you guys run near the apparent limit up until 12…

Doug, we often run at the limit. Quality Of Service (QoS) rules make sure www/wiki/CVS/bugs etc. traffic goes out before downloads traffic.
