[CLOSED] download.brackets.io barely works #6542

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

Issue by le717 Tuesday Mar 18, 2014 at 19:43 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/7239

download.brackets.io is having severe server issues.

  1. Normally, it takes only a few seconds for the full page to load, but it has been taking about a minute to load since this morning. If I visit it in a new tab or browser instance, my browser (Firefox 27.0.1 on Windows 8.1 x64) never displays the page. Rather, a download of file "AEbE8WjE" is triggered (unsure if that name changes, most likely does as Firefox does not actually display the file name) containing the following contents. https://gist.github.com/le717/0528d2e36945900230d4
  2. If I attempt to load the page again, it still takes a while but usually fully loads. I have attempted to load the page three times since I started typing, and I have got a file download trigger every time.
  3. Further more, initiating a download of any release takes a while. As a test, I tried to download Sprint 36 by changing the URL to Sprint 36 (http://download.brackets.io/file.cfm?platform=WIN&build=36). After the request was finally processed and initiated (roughly the same time it takes to get the download trigger above), actually downloading the MSI went at normal speed.
  4. Sprint 37, on the other hand, cannot be downloaded at all. After the aforementioned processing, I received a download trigger for file.cfm. https://gist.github.com/le717/46da8c09354b6e7b0d85

Just the right time to say it again: We need mirrors!

The site is back up now, thus downloads are too.@SAPlayer Yes, I also agree mirrors are needed. As@zaggino just commented, I too think the Releases page would do (and it seems somebody has reuploaded the binaries there). The URLs for release uploads are consistent and can be easily guessed and programmatically constructed (example: both https://github.com/adobe/brackets/releases/download/sprint-37/Brackets.Sprint.37.msi and https://github.com/adobe/source-sans-pro/releases/download/1.055/SourceSansPro-Light.ttf follow the same URL structure). download.brackets.io is obviously the primary, but a simpler way to switch to mirrors than https://github.com/adobe/brackets.io/commit/eb34f83798d6dc276266bcb3b23d9e5788ae7e88 would be needed.

Closing since the site is back up. We're now pointing to binaries hosted on GitHub, which should scale a lot better than our old homemade server setup.
