BTW, if someone will give me needed access and tell me how,
I'd be happy to help out with recovery efforts, since I seem
to notice lack of service most often.

Just logged in:

 23:00:48 up 30 days,  7:59,  2 users,  load average: 34.41,
38.20, 39.90

There's a flood of apache processes, so I assume something's
hitting the web 
server hard.

I don't have access to the logs, so I can't say anythin
beyond that.

FWIW, it seems to have been very slow/overloaded rather than
down.

It seems to recover for a bit and then become slow again.

Thanks for looking.

Is there someone who can help? Can I help somehow?

What can we do to protect ourselves from this in the future?

(I still haven't looked at the developer info, so I'm not
in a position to recommend anything, dang it.)

We need someone with root access to look at the logs.

I'm posting to pydotorg to see if we can get someone to
look.

Without seeing the logs I'm going to guess we've got a
badly-behaved web 
spider hitting the browse interface.


> What can we do to protect ourselves from this in the

Assuming my guess about it being a spider hitting the
browser interface, we 
already attempt to block spiders off from the browse
interface both through 
the robots.txt file and by detecting their user-agent in the
pypi code. 
Spiders don't *have* to read robots.txt, and my RE string
for user-agent 
detection might be missing someone.

We won't know until we can get someone to look at the logs.

FWIW:

 23:33:45 up 30 days,  8:32,  2 users,  load average: 0.31,
1.67, 12.07

Any news on the cause of last PyPI slowdown?
