Project Gutenberg users have been experiencing intermittent "504 Gateway Time-out" errors. This appears to be due to unusually heavy traffic at our hosting provider; their staff has been working to understand the problem.

@gutenberg_org how is gutenb.org not registered and redirected to the main gutenberg domain? :)
@gergolippai perhaps @gluejar could answer that question
@gergolippai @gutenberg_org we are a small non-profit which depends entirely on user donations. We are actually working to reduce the number of domains we register!
@gluejar @gutenberg_org ok ok it was a joke - would be funny tho! :)
(and thanks for the work you're doing.)

I've noticed the @internetarchive struggling with this too recently. Makes me worry that there might be a right-wing DDoS effort against non-right-wing information sources...
I bet it's AI bots scraping the website.
@gutenberg_org please tell your staff we appreciate them a lot.
