Not sure why they didn’t feel the need to invest in enough bandwidth to actually be able to handle the traffic.

I don’t think server and network capacity was the only issue.

“On Monday, as many of the first auctions were closing on his new site, Snype, the platform had massive technical glitches.

The main feature that allows a bidder to put in a “snype” — a pre-programmed last-second bid — instead triggered the auctions themselves to end, no matter how much time was left. For other auctions, the bidding features were completely disabled.

The site was taken down as the glitches were discovered, Probstein told cllct.

Probstein said he is also looking into the possibility that Snype was a target of a hacking scheme and is not sure of a timeline for its return.”
