Nonfree.eu 50% offline

Support Third-party Applications

Why is the nonfree.eu server so often offline? It seems to me that its nearly about 50% of a day…

It’s typically “offline” during an update of the packages.

Also, it’s a community-driven server/thing, so that also plays a role, I think.

nonfree.eu is a free service pointing to the github page for the repo - if it is not accessible it has something to do with how github handles the request.
