Cache situation resolved

Added 2021-08-22 11:15:05 +0000 UTC

The NA cache is now back online with 5 unmetered servers. I've also resolved an issue with the EU cache where some files could fail on certain servers.

We had to stick with the same provider we used before, whilst I had found some alternatives, they were ultimately still too expensive for our budget at the moment. I've also updated the current cost breakdown in the bio (currently $5700/m). As always, all donations are used for server bills, setup fees, new hardware costs, etc.

This unplanned upgrade has meant that we've had to postpone the planned NA file server upgrades, so that will now be next on the list once we have the budget for it, barring any other unforeseen situations that require us to upgrade our infrastructure.

Lastly, thank you very much for being patient whilst we resolved the situation, our Patreon and Buymeacoffee has seen really good support this month, despite the stability issues we saw. It's so incredible that the community is giving such support to this free service, I never imagined we would hit 15 petabytes transferred in a single month when we started nopy. I keep thinking that we're going to hit a ceiling, and we won't see anymore growth (either donations or downloads/traffic) but it keeps on going, so, thank you. ❤️
