AMINET down?

Sinphaltimus · 22 July 2017, 01:15

I've been trying to get to aminet.net all day but keep getting an error "unable to connect to database"

Anyone else having an issue?

EDIT: I need mountISO.

EDIT2: I got mountISO from a mirror site but aminet is not working for me still.

EDIT3: if anyone else needs to get to aminet and can't here's the mirror I found - https://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/aminet/

As if internet would be web only. Aminet is not down, only the web interface. You can always go to ftp://aminet.net.

It's nice that the files are available via ftp as well, but without the search box in the web interface it is difficult to find anything.

There is an index file you can download and search.
