I got answer on support tickets, but they only tell their systems are ok, and is probably origin server problem (but really it's not origin server problem, yesterday was working perfectly all day, and simplecdn was timing out at lot of requests for new content, for some unknown reason their cache agent was failing).

I have been looking for other cdn providers but bandwidth prices are high or don't have mirror option that is much better than upload for our purposes (avatars, etc).

I agree.

The "mirror bucket" feature of SimpleCDN is a "game changer" when combined with their significantly lower bandwidth costs.

Most of SimpleCDNs EU content is delivered from the US, and they don't seem to be able to fix or mitigate the problem (which they say is a DDOS attack because they permit adult content)

It is really strange that SimpleCDN cannot serve EU content from the EU!!!

I experienced the same performance related issues with SimpleCDN earlier this week. Looks to be sorted though, and I plan on continuing to use the service... until the next hiccup

SimpleCDN tends to hiccup a lot; however, you can't beat the price :-) ... and Mirror Bucket service is a great concept.

someone experiencing problems again?

imported_silkroad · #56 11-09-2009, 11:29 AM

Yes, SimpleCDN has been not performing well lately.

other day with problems, time to move out until they get a decent uptime with servers

Yes, we have serious problems today with SimpleCDN.

What is the next best alternative? Is there another inexpensive CDN with mirror bucket service?

im moving back to dedicated lighttpd server for static content, not a "content delivery network" but cheaper than simplecdn and working without any problems.

We should consider to pool a few of us together and share the costs of something like this, pulling the images and clientscript

Well, that is just a dream.. too much work to get a cooperative going... hahahaha.

Good idea to use a dedicated lighttpd server for static content.

Monday I will call the SimpleCDN NOC and let them know they are losing customers due to per performance.

Oh! I forgot to mention.

I have been looking for a PHP script that intercepts a 404 error and fetches the missing file from another web server (creating a type of mirror bucket service for a static content server).

Have you seen or heard of a script like this?
