If it's 4xx it means you broke something, if it's 5xx it means the site broke something. 503 means the server is down for whatever reason and can't be reached, i.e., it's not your fault.

If it keeps doing it file a bug report.

Nah, slow connection shouldn't cause a 503. It just means something else on Ibles is broken.

Its ibles being stupid, again. Like CameronSS said, 503's are a site malfunction and perhaps file a bug report that never gets read.

Iv had 503 errors at least twice on inscrutable site and shut down the pc for
coffee. Then restarted all working.

Don't know what 503 means. Iv been uploading all day...
