Stuck at 92%. What happened?! And now Newgrounds isn't responding

[Edit] In light of the update not loading, I guess it's... interesting? that this last page is still linking to the first page of Jail Break instead of the next comic? :sigh:

I suspect that's just a placeholder error that activated because of the immense strain the site is under.

Pretty sure that's more that the flash video was corrupted by the DL crashing :ssh:

Edit: I'm laughing right now imagining how some poor newgrounds employee was just drinking his coffee having a perfectly normal day when suddenly in the space of 3 minutes the site reaches max capacity and crashes, and he has no drat idea what just happened.

Never seen Newgrounds crash this fast. Hell, never seen Newgrounds crash in a long while. The power of the Hussie fan base is remarkable in volume, voice, and F5-spamming capability.:legion:

Yeah, I only got about 30 seconds in when it froze for me. It didn't load completely, and then when I tried to load it again the site died. The flash uses Tensei's version of Descend, if anyone is curious.

[S] Cascade was secretly Hussie's plot to destroy Newgrounds. It seems to have worked!

Damnit Jack, you'd better fix this with your crazy omnipotence powers. We JUST started this shindig back up and already I've got a memorial avatar.

But he won't, so we can be pretty confident now why Jack in the troll session has a bloody arm and is supremely pissed off.

It played for like 5 minutes then cut to an error that said it wouldn't run on my computer. What the hellllllll

This is the beginning of the Scratch. First Newgrounds goes down. Then Google. Then 24hr news sites. This is the beginning of the end, people.

More like :pt: Huss wasn't kidding when he said that 2 million people all downloading the flash would bring just about any host to its knees. Mildly surprised he went with Newgrounds but maybe they cut him a deal (esp. given the banner ad, etc on the page on MSPA.) Joke's on them, no ad revenue if your site's down.

EDIT: Really curious to see if he's able to find a solution; his blog post lays it out pretty clear. This is an enormous potential traffic spike for anything short of a global CDN (I...kinda doubt that "free" CDN startup mentioned earlier would work, or not cut him off about 30 seconds into the spike.) and those are Not Cheap. There really aren't any magic bullets here, so again: curious to see what the resolution will be.
