Ardour.org’s usual monthly web hosting costs are typically about $180. In August of 2026, the cost was $732. While we are not 100% certain of the reasons for this nearly 4-fold increase, automated bots scraping the bug tracker were a very large part of it.
Consequently, we have (for now) disabled all anonymous access to the bug tracker. You must have an account and you must be logged in to view any part of the tracker.
