cam.ctan.org, {ftp,rsync,www}.tex.ac.uk down sun 1 aug
by Robin Fairbairns 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

the central cambridge university switches, etc., will all be down from about 08:00 to 17:00 next sunday 2004-08-01. the university will keep needing more central facilities and the entire backup power supply is to be replaced. as a result, all the cambridge ctan services will be inaccessible for that period. (we don't take power from the centre, so at least our machines ought to survive the down-time.) my apologies for the inconvenience; among other things, it will allow even more under-used bandwidth to the cambridge ctan.
