We’re going to be changing how the traffic routes through our servers on Sunday September 13th near mid-day PDT, late evening UK time. In theory you should not notice any traffic interruptions, but theory doesn’t always match up with practice.
Before we start the maintenance, we’re going to announce the switch over to the new route in our IRC channel #musicbrainz on irc.freenode.net .
With a little luck no one will notice our tinkering.
Update by djce: The change is now complete and seems to be working just fine. Thank you for your patience.
