The stream has been down for a couple of days. Haven't checked it since yesterday.
If you browse their forum the owner will have left a message. EDIT: I just tried logging on to the site, and got a blank screen.

Oh i sent the guy an email asking if it would be back online and also if it was coming back: This is his responce:
Hi Shane, I was left with no choice but to shut the stream down - at least for the time being, the server was under an increasing load as it is not dedicated and as a result we received abusive emails from unhappy listeners. I would rather not provide it at all then, rather then cop abuse for it. The stream itself is a good idea and people do like it - but they don't realize the amount of work that is involved for us - both in terms of cost and maintenance. I am currently working with another person together to fix those issues. Some of the solutions are rather complex and therefore i am not sure when i can bring the stream back online. I understand that you would like to listen to the scanner stream - as hundreds of other people but the servers are shut down for the time being. However please monitor our website which should be in basic operation by late tonight at www.scanneraustralia.com Please direct all future emails to Thank you Administration |

Hi everyone,
I am one of the guys that run www.scanneraustralia.com I found this thread by following our HTTP referer and i thought i let you all know that we decided to start streaming the live broadcasts by 19th of january - we are still waiting for some spare server parts after the recent problems. I hope you enjoy listening once the stream is back online. Richad Last edited by Richad; 16-01-2005 at 09:35 PM. |
