"Down for maintenance." I guess it's the Hacker News effect.

Oh! They're back up again. I'm grabbing _Nginx HTTP Server Second Edition_ now. :-)

"Sorry, that promotion code is no longer valid." Move along folks, move along now.

Any recommendations for well-written books?

It's a pity they don't have akamai/cloudfront or something, it seems they are getting crushed. So whomever is running 27 simultaneous downloads, please stop. You'll never read all those books.

You're right, I'll never read them. However I'm collecting a shitload of pdfs, I convert them to HTML, put them in an ElasticSearch database, so I can search their content when I need it. It's more like a complementary documentation database.
