We've identified an issue with high bandwidth usage in ComputerCraft or ComputerCraft add-on, but much more likely to be an addon. You may have noticed greater usage in your Internet bandwidth usage for the past few weeks, and this may be the cause.

As soon we find it, we may need to remove the problemtic mod.

  • How many people are having connection issues?
  • How bad is it? How frequent?
  • And where do you live in the world?

I am considering moving the server back to the location in New York. It has a worse CPU, but a lot of people are back at school now and we may not have many lag problems.

ChickenChunks (chunk loaders) are temporarily disabled because we're trying to see whether it is the cause of:
  • Issues with entities duplicating (golems, etc.)
  • Severe server lag spikes from IC2

We know they play a part in boilers exploding.

Since this disables chunk loading, we're going to look into either restoring them in the future or providing other methods of chunk loading.

Most everything should be back to normalcy after that server move. The FTP server and IDE should be working as well.

The server move went successfully and Alice was only unavailable for 15 seconds between the move!
  • Alice now runs massively better after the move.
  • I've made some small performance fixes to GregTech to reduce its CPU usage by half. There should be no change to its function.
  • AE crafting should work properly again.

The server that we had been using ("Boston") seemed to have been struggling with Alice, and so we've moved the server back to the old location in Germany for the time being. The CPU is not as good as the proposed one that we wanted to get, but it's still a notable improvement over the one that we were using. Hopefully the server should perform better, and if we can get the new processor, then we will switch to the new system.

To connect to Alice, the addresses that you should be using are:
  1. alice.sk89q.com for a direct route to Germany
  2. ny.alice.sk89q.com for a New York mirror that provides a latency improvement for some Americans, notably those on the west coast

However, because those addresses were pointing to the Boston server until today, it may take up to a day for your computer to notice the new changes. Even if the changes haven't appeared for you, you will still be able to connect because we've added a proxy on the Boston server, but you may notice extra latency as a result.

You can temporarily use these addresses if you think that you're being proxied through Boston:
  1. puffin.sk89q.com for the direct route
  2. eduardo.sk89q.com for the New York mirror

We will remind you in a few days to change your addresses back.
