Unable to connect

Did something happen to AG today, 2/11? For the better part of the day I was unable to access AG.

No pages all day, apart form the usual automated maintenance last night. Could be your ISP was having a routing or DNS issue. If it happens again, try pulling a tracert and posting it here when you can.

It wasn't an all-day outage, but it lasted about eight hours. I had access to all other sites, or at least those I visited, except AG. If it happens again, I'll do as you say.

Hmm, I definitely would have gotten a nagios page for an 8 hour outage (generally they turn up within a minute for http monitoring). The traceroute is the best tool because if it's happening within The Planet's network I can let them know and see about getting it resolved.

Did it stop working when you were in the middle of browsing, or was it the first request that failed?

Was the request that failed.

I have the same issue, too. It happens every once in awhile for the first request.

Don't know if it means anything or has any relevans to this, but I find the site itself takes a very long time to load.
I suspect it's the ads though....
