YouTube Is Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-it's-2012-already dept.

A number of readers have noted that YouTube is currently giving back 400 and 502 http errors, and has apparently been doing so for an hour or more. I suggest you use this window of opportunity to get something done: the dancing kitties will still be there when you're done.

  2. It's back up, it was down from everywhere ... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Informative

    I checked via ssh -D into four of my machines, two in the US, one in Europe and another in India.

    Now, I didn't check from the HK boxes, but I assume it was down for real.

    And btw, It's back up now for everyone.

    Yes... I have often felt that Slashdots multiple stories every 5 seconds takes up most of my day.

  5. root-server's records rather than Youtube? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'd assume this is because of the root-server records being wonky for a while now, rather than Youtube itself:
