Blender Site Offline?

[ChasM]

Well,

I tried closing my GL, 'cause it was open <groan>, 
I just can't get there from here.

mtr gives me similar timings and same route.  I'm using a satellite ISP.
Seems as if all of Europe has slowed down.  Beginning to wish I was ELSE-where.

What are all those asterisks?

Am 14. Jan, 2014 schwätzte ChasM so:
 
moin moin,
 
Blender's site comes up for me. I'm on better than average bandwidth :),
but the site seems fine.
 
It also comes up fine from elsewhere.
 
I'm getting the same IP from dns.
 
Check traceroute or mtr results for getting to it.
 
Ping is slow, but is working for me.

Takes time to get to the Netherlands and back.
