Using Opera's (with free VPN client) should not be a permanent solution, but just allow the impacted Wikiloopers to access Wikiloops services.
This is the only circumvention solution I found and put in place to ensure my access to the site.
For me, my default browser is Mozilla's Firefox and it will remain so. I dedicate Opera to my exchanges with you, waiting for a definitive solution to your server problems (network).
At the time I write this Post, France can be added to Russia and China because still no access without VPN connection.
On the other hand, and in response to Richard's Post in Wikiloopers this morning, your hosting provider has made the arbitrary decision to block access to your servers from certain parts of the globe.
I wonder how responsible they are in a denial of service attack targeting the network for which they are responsible.
In my opinion, they have an obligation of result in the quality of service they "sell" to you.
When I was still in operation for a large French IT group, the hosts responsible for this type of malfunction were charged penalties for non-compliance with contractual obligations binding them to their customers.
Finally, I don't see the correlation between the attack on Wikiloops and the problem of converting audio format. I could notice that both formats are MP3 and Wav.
Does this converter work in both directions? Download and Upload? Converting a Wav file to MP3 at reception, and MP3 to Wav for download by Wikiloops?
Why not, in this case, maintain ONLY the MP3 format, considered to be of lower quality than Wav because it is more compressed, but also less data intensive?
I am done with my questions and would like to thank and pay tribute to Dick, Richard, Tee Gee and all those of the team who care about preserving our community tool. Sincerely,
