We’re currently facing serious challenges keeping our servers stable. Many people prefer downloading rather than simply viewing, and our 10 Gbit connection just can’t keep up — it’s running at nearly 99% load all the time. That’s why there are occasional access problems with IMX.
The good news is that we’ll soon be releasing a Download API that will work without Cloudflare or DDoS-Guard issues. Please note, however, that all download apps will need a mandatory update to use it. Browser-based scraping will still not be ideal, but the Download API is designed for proper download tools and will also work without requiring an account.
Finally, just a gentle reminder: IMX is free. Sometimes, when I reading your posts, it feels like people treat IMX as if it were already a paid premium image host — with high expectations and complaints whenever something doesn’t work perfectly.. Right now, advertising doesn’t cover our costs, so you could even say IMX is running close to non-profit. That’s why we kindly ask for a bit more patience and understanding from you all.
Thanks for sticking with us!
