We are still seeing this problem for the Octave repo.  Sometimes it responds slowly and sometimes we see the bad gateway message or some other failure.

The Octave project's own server at octave.org has also experienced heavy load over the last few months because or bots and scrapers hitting our wiki and the mirror of our mercurial repo.  Very frustrating!

Unfortunately, peeking at the host suggests things are about what I've become used to seeing as the systems have come to under constant pressure from scrapers and such.  More we are doing on this that may help this, generally rather incrementally, however I'll avoid comments predicated on the success of (mostly) others' work :)

Meanwhile, it did load for me just now.  I'm not convinced restarting anything will help; the overall CPU pressure may have dropped a tiny bit since you initially reported.

Thank you for reporting the issue. It is very helpful for system administrators to help us associate the host and network loads we are seeing with specific problems people are having, things that have broken as pressures vary or spike.

We can keep this ticket open for a bit in case things don't improve (or do and worsen again quickly) but please do confirm things are okay.

Warm regards,
Corwin

seems not restricted to git.  yesterday (15 APR 20254) i noticed
 we started getting repeated, intermittent 502 Bad Gateway errors to the Octave mercurial repo at  https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave via either the website interface or an hg pull

Attempting to follow the instructions in https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs to clone the listed repositories fails to work, either with a 502 error or a timeout. This seems to be affecting all the listed repositories on this page. I haven't checked other repositories.

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/nongnu.git

Cloning into 'nongnu'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/nongnu.git/': The requested URL returned error: 502

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/elpa.git

Cloning into 'elpa'...
