So I can't help noticing ...

[sholio]

... that the DW journal import queue is alarmingly backed up; which isn't surprising since LJ's downtime has made a lot of people look into backing up, but I've had a journal import queued for over four hours and it still hasn't made any progress, while the queue continues to grow deeper. Has anyone done a successful import in the last couple of days? Should I abort and try again later?

ETA: As usual, the inevitable result of whining about something is that it works perfectly. *g* Import just finished; apparently it's just slow due to backlog. (I'm spoiled, I guess, because when I've done it before it hasn't been at peak times and it's been almost instant.) *pats poor overloaded DW*

Trying again later may not hurt.

Heh, as I went to reply to this, it just flipped over to "complete". So, er, never mind? *g* Apparently it's working fine, just slow.

[amalthia]

This is good to know.

Who knows, the sudden urge to back things up on DW may have created an unintentional secondary request overload on LJ's side.

[sholio]

Heh, it would be kind of ironic if the backup calls themselves were contributing to crashing LJ ... (though I imagine by LJ standards, the DW traffic is probably negligible in the grand scheme of things)

Denise talked about this a bit in today's news post.

Ah! Thank you! :)

this morning denise asked people to hold off on importing; it adds a load to livejournal that is hard for them right now with all their other issues.

*nods* I just saw that; thank you for the info. :)
