Seems similar to :- #10

(The upshot being that I can't hit the website or download the package.)

Thanks for your report.

Same issue here...

After having a couple of non-connections over the last couple of days, the domain completely stopped resolving between 6 and 12 hours ago (my AppVeyor CI builds stopped working about that time).

rivy commented

@kmx , are there any mirrors?

@kmx , are there any mirrors?

unfortunately no

Is only the domain not resolving or is the server also down? If it's only not resolving, people could temporarily hack around the issue by adding the server's IPv4/IPV6 address(es) to their local resolvers.

I've setup a repository on github that can act as a backup mirror (rivy/CI.AppVeyor.helpers-perl-binaries). But I'm missing a few of the commonly used binaries:

  • strawberry-perl-5.14.4.1-64bit.zip
  • strawberry-perl-5.16.3.1-64bit.zip
  • strawberry-perl-5.26.1.1-64bit.zip
  • strawberry-perl-5.28.0.1-64bit.zip

@kmx , do you have copies of these stashed somewhere that I could obtain and post?

... and ... the site just came back up.

I've started mirroring it at https://strawberry.perl.bot/ it's not automated yet but I'll do my best to keep it up to date.

I've also made available a baseline set of Perl binaries as release assets at https://github.com/rivy/CI.AppVeyor.helpers-perl-binaries/releases.

They'll remain up as backup assets for AppVeyor CI builds during any future outages.

Same error for me today.

Haven't seen it down myself, seems to be working right now. Some intermittent issue?
