- Brushfire 18y agoJungledisk is down, and Carbonite (who I have never heard of) is over. Sounds like growing pains for a new and awesome industry. Too bad seeing a fail whale when trying to get to your files isnt nearly as amusing at it is on something somewhat trivial like Twitter.

Their business depends on the reliability of their hardware, so Carbonite should have been checking it themselves.
