Get Free Ether from faucet.ropsten.be
This section describes how to get some free Ether from faucet.ropsten.be.
Another place to get free Ether money on the Ropsten Test Network is to use faucet.ropsten.be Website.
Here is what I tried.
1. Go to https://faucet.ropsten.be.
2. Enter my test account address 0xf8e50468eFD092D3B457B199f8b910b421e607b6. And click "Send me test ehter".
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.

{"message":"ok"}
So may be the source account really don't have any Ether left to give out, or the site is not working.
By the way, their Web address has been changed from http://faucet.ropsten.be:3001 to https://faucet.ropsten.be
