Why do I always get error 503 on sourceforge?

[Andrew]

About last week I started getting error 503 a lot. One website where is hasn't gone away is the website sourceforge. This particularly bugs me because three different things that I have went to download in the past two days have been on sourceforge. From what I know about the error already is that it can be caused by too much traffic on a website. I at first believed it was this because I've tried other browsers and unplugged my router multiple time so I thought it was because of too much traffic on sourceforge. However it never went away no matter what time a day I tried to download it and the website will load, but when I try to download something off sourceforge, I get error 503. I am starting to think there's a problem with my isp but I'm not sure yet. I would appreciate help to bypass this error or if anyone could upload the latest versions of win 32 disc imager and/or unetbootin to a filesharing website other than sourceforge.
@Daniel the url for one of the files is:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project...ps/Mozilla Firefox, Portable Ed./Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition 26.0/FirefoxPortable_26.0_English.paf.exe?r=http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

It's not your Internet connection, it's the website itself having server issues, most likely being overloaded or it's down. I tried going there myself now and it's down for me too.

Hi,

Hi @Andrew,

I had to create a new account to get in again to comment; for the rest of this, please send me email to d AT slashdotmedia . com .

Right now we need a screenshot of the issue, if it is still ongoing, as well as a single specific link to a download that is giving you the 503 you capture for us (in the screen shot).

Thank you!
