Possible hardware issues on the avisynth.nl server

[LigH]

Whoever may be responsible for operating the server http://avisynth.nl - please note that I got the following HTTP error message once while requesting a page:

507 Insufficient Storage

The method could not be performed on the resource because the server is unable to store the representation needed to successfully complete the request. There is insufficient free space left in your storage allocation.

Maybe a temporary file directory should be flushed?

Since around October, I've been unable to access avisynth.nl, whether using mobile data or my home Wi-Fi. However, browsing works normally when connecting via VPN to other countries.

MeGUI update server also have same issue, as both sites use the same server (hosting10.whitelabelsolutions.nl).

[LigH]

It is only available via HTTP, not HTTPS. Maybe you are using a web browser which tries to enforce secure connections.

[aarv]

I know, but that's not relevant my issue. I can't even "ping" his server without VPN, It looks like their server have blocked connections from Hong Kong.

[Wilbert]

Thanks for reporting this issue. I will take a look on sunday.

[patul]

+1. I've been in similar situations for about a month, I thought my country (Indonesia) was blocked by the server or any other network infra. As aarv mentioned, VPN solved the issue.

[DTL]

Yes - in the mid-202x 'internet' networks connectivity become worse and worse. Only VPN to some Europe countries helps to reach that server.

In Italy we are lucky enough to have relatively small ISPs that care more about service than money.

You can have nice peering, public IPv4 address, fixed /64 IPv6 in dual stack and a whole lot of fiber bandwidth (usually 2.5/1) for about 29€/month ;)

[Klaus1189]

2.5/1 Gigabits per second for 29€/month?

[tormento]

2.5/1 Gigabits per second for 29€/month?
Even less (~24€) if you have a mobile connection with the same provider. :p

[LigH]

:eek: sobs in German :(

What prodvider can deliver 2.5 Gbit per seconds in download and 1 Gbit per second in upload? That is insane. Sorry for off topic, but I am amazed :)

In Belgium, with one of the smaller ISPs, you can get symmetric 2.5/2.5 Gbps down/up. Fastfiber even has a plan that delivers 8.5 Gbps down and 5 Gbps up but it costs nearly 100 euro's

I pay 55 euro's for 1 Gbps down and 500 Mbps up (fiber connection)

To add insult to injury ;)

As a curiosity, what speeds do you reach in your country and for how much?

[Selur]

:eek:
I usually get

I could get a faster download, but that's the max I can get for upload.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Deutsche Telekom is allowed to be a quasi-monopolist, no other ISPs really care about digging in the dirt to put cables into (and when they do, the "pink elephant" is bold enough to lay their cables into the groves other companies dug out)... and of course, cities go first, and rural areas "don't need 5G at every milk can".

The era around Helmut Kohl insisted in copper instead of fast fibre. Germany loves being "conservative" and then complains that the world overtakes on the fast lane.

Sorry, could not resist.
Being youngster at the Leipzig Fair 1976-1980, seeing optical cables emerging, ongoing research in East and West Germany.
Availability of fast infrared LEDs in the Mbit/s range even for amateurs, although at a premium (was it 85.-M or so?

1978 verband die Deutsche Bundespost die Vermittlungsstellen in der Aßmannshauser Straße und in der Uhlandstraße in Berlin-Wilmersdorf über eine etwa 4 km lange Verbindungsstrecke aus mehreren Glasfasern. In den folgenden Jahren wurden die Lichtwellenleiter immer weiter verbessert, über immer längere Strecken konnten immer höhere Datenmengen mit immer höheren Datenraten übertragen werden. 1985 zum Beispiel übertrug die British Telecom erstmals Signale ohne Zwischenverstärkung über eine Strecke von 250 km.[2]

1987 entwickelte Heraeus ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von hochreinem, synthetischem Quarzglas aus der Gasphase. Durch synthetisches Quarzglas konnten metallische Verunreinigungen und Feuchtigkeitsspuren des natürlichen Quarzglases um mehrere Größenordnungen reduziert werden. Die von Heraeus produzierten Quarzglas-Vorformen machen rund 95 Prozent der Glasfasern für die optische Nachrichtenübertragung aus.[3]
-----------------------------------
In 1978, the German Federal Post Office (Deutsche Bundespost) connected the telephone exchanges on Aßmannshauser Straße and Uhlandstraße in Berlin-Wilmersdorf via an approximately 4 km long link consisting of several optical fibers. In the following years, optical fibers were continuously improved, enabling the transmission of ever-increasing amounts of data at ever-higher data rates over increasingly longer distances. In 1985, for example, British Telecom transmitted signals without intermediate amplification for the first time over a distance of 250 km.[2]

In 1987, Heraeus developed a process for producing high-purity, synthetic quartz glass from the gas phase. Synthetic quartz glass reduced metallic impurities and traces of moisture found in natural quartz glass by several orders of magnitude. The quartz glass preforms produced by Heraeus account for approximately 95 percent of the optical fibers used for optical communication.[3]

Then the big stall. Each and every US data transmission protocol which had to be adhered to here seemed to insist on copper wire, twisted pairs, or new old coax,
from the 56k modem through any DSL, ADSL, VDSL hitting their old copper wires as hard as they could, wasting kilowatts in driving the next quarter mile's cable capacitance/inductance/resistance at MHz. Light does not have that kind of losses, just attenuation, and no ground loops. Ground loops... Don't get me started..
Who were those copper barons ? Light cable was there, invented, but it could not be laid out.
For decades only as barebones, then slowly to the curb, later into large premise's distribution, but never to the desk.

Now, in 2025 after all copper had been sunk, Deutsche Glasfaser (est.2011) is allowed on the last mile market, and maybe to the desk, IF...
They are mandated to obtain 30% coverage at once to get approval.
How to obtain 30% from a cake which had been sliced and eaten in the last 4 decades ?

What a skewed table is this:
From 1985 on those monopolists had enough time, 40 years after all, to sink their copper cables into german soil,
and to tie ALL AND EVERY end users under their contracts.
I was paying copper, 420.-€ a year, for a measly medium DSL line with landline, 50M down and 2M up.
Older people who are used to having a landline and can not live without pay THE SAME, my father at age 91 paid THE VERY SAME copper bill until his last breath.

Now for me just a mobile hotspot does it, 50M/10M, 8.-€ per month, 96.-€ a year

Intel introduced Light Peak at the 2009 Intel Developer Forum (IDF),
using a prototype Mac Pro logic board to run two 1080p video streams plus LAN and storage devices over a single 30-meter optical cable with modified USB ends.[19]
The system was driven by a prototype PCI Express card, with two optical buses powering four ports.[20]
Jason Ziller, head of Intel's Optical I/O Program Office, presented the internal components of the technology under a microscope and the delivery of data through an oscilloscope.[21]
The technology was described as having an initial speed of 10 Gbit/s over plastic optical cables, alongside promising a final speed of 100 Gbit/s.[22]

And then:
In January 2011, Intel's David Perlmutter told Computerworld that initial Thunderbolt implementations would be based on copper wires.[127]
"The copper came out very good, surprisingly better than what we thought," he said.[129]
A major advantage of copper is its ability to carry power. The final Thunderbolt standard specifies 10 W DC on every port....

Muuhahahaaa.

Well, most of the low quality glass fibre cables used for landline phone connections in Germany in the 1980-90's were only capable of carrying 64 kbps per ISDN B-channel (128 kbps in case of dual channel use).

Sorry for the late response.

My provider increased some php limits. I hope that solves this problem, but let me know when this issue comes back.

@All. Some countries where abuse IP's often come from are blocked by my provider. Sorry about this, but there is nothing i can do about that.

@Wilbert

is the spam answer not working? I cant add https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1951405&postcount=67 to http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Crt_display

[Wilbert]

When i tried to upload the script i got an error message. Something like 'File extension does not match MIME type text/plain'. I don't understand why it didn't work anymore. I added avsi and avs to mime.types and was able to upload the file for you (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/File:Crt_display.avsi).

[real.finder]

thanks! I did add it to the wiki

[magnetite]

I went to go get the latest MTModes.avsi from this site, and it came up with an warning from my antivirus.

I think this is the latest version that'll definitely work. It's the one I'm using. Newer versions seem to have been unnecessarily edited and/or contain non-English characters.

You can download a newer version from that link if you like though.
