SE: Uppsala servers shutdown in the near future

[Staff 9839]

Hello!

We are sorry to inform you that for reasons entirely beyond our control, the servers in Uppsala are likely to be decommissioned in the near future due to cessation of operations. Should this event occur, we will, of course, arrange appropriate replacements in Sweden in a timely manner.

Kind regards and datalove

I'm always amazed by the low usage of the swedish servers. I would have thought most people would be using those instead of US or others.
Thanks for the update Staff.

In general people will use servers closest to them.  Most people understand they aren't trying to evade the NSA but only their ISP so use what gives the best performance.  And I would imagine far more customers are from the USA than from Sweden.

He's referring to their less strict anti-piracy law, making torrenting via a Swedish VPN server traditionally considered 'safer'.
These days it seems no-one really cares about individuals downloading stuff, and the focus is on IPTV pirates. That and a lot of people can't be bothered and just pay for a streaming service!

I was never able to get good speeds on these servers.

Oh well

Same for me here too.
Horribly slow, barely 10 Mbit/s... 🤥

Seem to be back up, included in the servers list too
