    Here's the Coral Cache link:
    http://www.macmod.com.nyud.net:8090/content/view/3 71/101/

    Should start working after a while... Coral should cache the pics as well, as Mirrordot is useless in this regard (picks behind links)...

    Appears to be the owner of the domain - keep us posted in this thread of how the Slashdotting is treating 'ya.

    In case useful to 'ya, here's my experience with the Slashdot Effect - mostly data on the numbers, but a few pointers I learned and got from others in the 2004 summary about configured Apache if useful - big one is turn KEEPALIVE OFF.

  10. the dead link is because of this site. by nich0las · · Score: 2, Informative

    So I thought I would root around www.macmod.com and see what I could find.... There are not a lot of replies to this story, but the site still got slashdotted. Displayed on www.macmod.com: " First of all we want to thank /. for the great article. However, this has put a little strain on the macmod server. Therefore, we have put up this page until things cool down. If you are looking for the Mini-linium article please check out the following link, thanks to mirrordot.org. Mini-linium Article "
