for the record, I've also experienced a lot of timeouts and bad service availability lately.

it would be nice if one could read about service problems as soon as they appear. perhaps the admins could post something about it on the blog?

also, it would be interesting to know what is considered heavy use, and how the blocking works. how do you know if you are blocked? right now I'm getting "connection reset by peer" errors - is the server overloaded, or is this caused by a block?
