Ftp.sonic.net outage.
Ops has observed and fixed a problem with ftp.sonic.net that would have caused problems for users from 5:45pm to 8:50pm this evening. A networking issue between our VM cluster and the storage backend was to blame, and we are doing what we can to prevent an outage of this nature in the future.

Amazon Traffic Outage
This evening, November 18, starting around 5:00pm, Amazon began blackholing traffic towards the Sonic network. We attempted to route through a different upstream provider, but it appears the routing issue was too deep into the Amazon network. We believe they have fixed the routing issue, and all traffic has been restored as of 5:25pm.
Update: This issue appears to have re-surfaced. We are reaching out to Amazon to determine the cause of the outage and do everything we can to ensure it does not happen again.
