I am Bin Cao, a researcher from HKUST Guangzhou. I encountered
an issue while depositing a crystal structure in CIF format.
Although the structure passes all tests successfully, the upload
always fails.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>We have currently been "attacked" by indiscriminate downloads
from bots that overloaded the COD systems, and this left our
deposition system in a crippled state.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have now unblocked the system – could you please check if the
deposition works now?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If it still does not work, could you please send us a screenshot
with the message hat you get, and/or the original CIF and the
deposition session URL?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I apologise for the inconveniences this causes.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sincerely yours,<br>
Saulius<br>
