<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Much to my surprise and disappointment,
the CrossWire Master Repository List still points to the
deprecated FTP repository for eBible.org instead of the
fully-supported HTTPS repository for eBible.org. The files and
structure for both are identical, but FTP leaves connections open
in between commands, where HTTPS is more stateless. On my FTP
server, there can only be 10 connections open at once. On my HTTPS
server, all Sword project users can probably try to update at
once, and it would probably work.</div>

<p>Thank you for that fix. The eBible.org repository (both https
and ftp) should be working, now. If not, please let me know.</p>
<p>Since Friday, the 13th of February, uptime on eBible.org has
not been great for a combination of reasons. It should be much
more stable, now, and with faster response for <a

The FTP portion (on a different computer) is a little slower
than it was, and has more limits on numbers of connections. It
is much more fragile and vulnerable to DDOS attacks. FTP
connections to repositories should not be used in any new
Sword implementations, but I have been trying to keep it going
for the dinosaur software. Anyway, if you ever notice that the
eBible.org repository is down for more than 20 minutes, please
let me know.</p>

<div> I implemented some fixes in Ezra Bible App to make this
repo update issue more transparent for the user. Previously
it would fail completely if more than two repos do not
update. I increased the threshold to three now. Also, if any
repos fail to update an error message shows which exact
repos failed. This fix will then be available with the next
release. </div>

<div> Currently eBible.org seems offline. </div>
<div> This alone should not have caused your issue from
