Problem with https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/, throws 503

I’m having trouble with the repositories at https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ — for example:

https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/danielrichter2007/grub-customizer/

https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/kdenlive/kdenlive-stable

https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports

etc. They are all returning a 503 error, and it’s impossible to download updates. Is this happening only to me, or are you experiencing it too?

yeah launchpad been acting up since yesterday for me too, 503 means the server is just overloaded or down for maintenance nothing on your side

give it a day or two they usually fix it pretty quick, if you really need the packages now you can try change the mirror in your sources.list but most times waiting is the easiest

yeah launchpad has had a few of these lately, usually clears up pretty fast

i saw some issues 30 minutes ago... the servers responded extremely slow.

I don't see any errors here yet:
