Productivity peaks may have noticed on Thursday, when the famous video site YouTube was off the air once again. By reports on social networks, the site is down for at least half time and there is an explanation of why yet. Although the site navigation is possible with thumbnail display of videos, none of the videos can be played. The reports are that the errors displayed range from Error 502 or Error 500, among others.
YouTube recently increased the size limit and time of the videos for users who do not have copyright problems with the site. Since then, a greater number of members now have the ability to send files up to 20 GB and lasting for more than 15 minutes, but engineers do not think YouTube did not anticipate a significant increase in traffic.
According to sources from The Next Web site, the reason for the unavailability of the site would be the "loss of a rack" on servers located in New York, although the official account on YouTube and Twitter only warns that engineers are working to restore it as much as before.
Yes, YouTube uses Google's servers which are notoriously very powerful. But no, they are not 100% free of faults.
