This section describes how to get some free Ether from faucet.ropsten.be.
faufaucet.ropsten.be was deprecated - Do not use the following steps to get free Ether. Use testnet.help instead. See "Get Free Ether from testnet.help" tutorial.
1. Go to https://faucet.ropsten.be.
2. Enter my test account address 0xf8e50468eFD092D3B457B199f8b910b421e607b6. And click "Send me test ether".
3. Wait for my request to be processed. I see Ether money get deposited to other people's accounts. And a message on the screen saying:
This faucet drips 0.3 Ether every 10 seconds. You can register your account in our queue. Maximum size is currently 50. Serving from account 0xcDA0D6adCD0f1CCeA6795F9b1F23a27ae643FE7C (balance of 0 ETH).
4. After several hours, I am still not receiving any Ether.
5. Try to call the REST API. But I still don't see any free Ether.

So may be the source account really don't have any Ether left to give out, or the site is not working.
