IRCTC Website does never opens till all the tatakal berths have been fully booked

It has become a routine matter now which started around JUNE. Whenever I have tried to open irctc online booking website (8.00 AM ONWARDS) the site never opens till all the tatakal berth are booked thru some other channels. If the railways wouldn't be able to ensure that website opens duly right from 8.00 AM itself then they should better display an announcement that the irctc website for online booking for TATKAL tickets won't be available till ALL TATKAL BERTHS are totally full. What is the use of offering this online facility if the website is sure to NOT OPEN no matter how continuously you try every day from 8.00 AM onwards. The website will open only after all berth have been booked. This happens daily and invariably. Any body can try this on any day he likes. Try this yourself. I have asked many of my friends to try this. Theey too experienced this frustration. What is this? Is there sonething deleberate or fishy about it so that the "agent" people are benefited on daily basis. Is it some kind of corruption somewhere at the ground level? Can the railways (Top Level) look into this, please!
