Connection refused and other Pipes issues
Pipes usage has grown exceptionally since its launch nearly three years ago. Unfortunately, the original architectural design and implementation of the engine has been showing it's age for a while now.

To address these we've been actively working on moving from the current engine to a new data flow engine based on the one YQL uses for some time now. We've talked a little about this before.

As Pipes has become more popular so has amount of both deliberate and accidental abuse on the system (abuse=running large numbers of complex pipes with frequently changing parameters). We've solved many of these, and are working on others. jQuery, for example, cache-busts on every request so those of you using that library to fetch a Pipe are getting blocked way more than you should (jQuery should really add an "if IE" statement before doing that).

We're making great progress with the new engine and we'll be sending out information to a number of you in the next few weeks to start testing it. In the meantime we're continuing to upgrade other parts of our infrastructure and many of these issues should start to go away, but won't be remedied until the new engines comes fully online.

If you use Pipes a lot and would like to be involved in testing the new engine, please send an email to pipes-questions [at] yahoo-inc.com
