Wild guess - because they have multiple single points of failures
It's typically just just the databases backend that seems to stop up every now and then, so I guess they should focus on making that weak link more robust. |

Thanks for your reply and sorry for making an redundant extra topic 'bout this earlier. The instability of Aminet is really, really bad. It's: a day up, a day down for the past weeks, completely unreliable. Hope they're working on it: half the internet redirects to it.

Makes it a lot worse with having no www mirrors any more. FTP is great an all but at times a web page with search box is irreplaceable!
Aminet could really do with a working mirror. |

In these modern times it is common to use one service address, and let it roam between the hosts using failover backends or using anycast. But again - the problem is the database backend, any number of web mirrors are irrelevant then.

That acc.umu.se mirror is several years out of date (2015).
de.aminet.net is up to date. |
