[Resolved] Web service overload

[15:50] At around 15:15 today a large number of near-simultaneous connections were made to one of the former-Artonezero web servers. Due to the time taken to process each request, the server’s request queue filled up and new requests were having to wait a very long time to be processed, making the server effectively unusable. I restarted the web server process at approximately 15:36, resetting all outstanding connections and allowing the service to come back to normal. I will keep an eye on it and will try to find the cause if this happens again.
