or did the url change again?

ws5 is now not working either

Thanks for the updates Marc.

This morning I've been experiencing sporadic success with requests, but both successful & unsuccessful have been very slow. Any idea when it may be fully back online?

heh, was back for a good solid 15 minutes about 3 hours ago

down again for going on 3 hours

I guess it will be back tomorrow

I guess the limit was reached again, heh

I really hope my paypal will be setup tomorrow. The free server has been really bad, down most all day

How fast is setup after I buy some credits? The free server is just way to slow
