Amazon S3 Issues

by Broadcaster on Mar.31, 2009, under news

As some of you are aware, this morning there are some issues on the video upload area.  Under broadcaster it uses the amazon S3 service for storage of videos.  For whatever reason this morning, the connection between broadcaster and amazon is not doing so hot.  We are shooting about 50/50.  About half of the time the upload works, about half it does not.  When it does not work, you get the page below after you upload.

When it works, you should see a screen like this.

At this time we are working to figure out why the connection to amazon does not work all of the time.  We will let you know more as we do.  For the now, just try to upload again, it works about half the time.

UPDATE: Amazon is reporting that s3 is back to normal.  Right from the horse’s mouth

7:06 AM PDT A small number of requests to Amazon S3 may be experiencing increased latencies or time-outs due to increased DNS latency on a small percentage of requests from outside of Amazon EC2. We are working on addressing the DNS issues.
8:42 AM PDT DNS latencies have returned to normal. We will continue to monitor global DNS latencies closely.
