  • External program problems on vert

    From Digital Man to All on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 23:00:57
    Most external programs, including doorgames and file transfers (e.g. ZMODEM) aren't currently working on vert.synchro.net and haven't been working since July 23rd (or thereabouts).

    I'm actively researching the root-cause of the issues (no, it doesn't appear to
    be a Synchronet problem) and hope to resolve it soon. In the mean time, you can
    use FTP or Telnet/RLogin/SSH to cvs.synchro.net instead (though, the door games
    mostly do not work there either since it's my Linux system).

    I'll post an update when I know more,

    The irc.synchro.net network has more servers than users.

    This problem has been (finally) fixed. The root-cause was a malware infestation
    I had back in July which I quickly killed but the damage to Windows had been done and was not easily reversed. I'll be posting more details here: http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:win#socket_io
