QSL.net off the air

[KA8SCP]

Is anyone else beside me having problems getting to any of the QSL.net sites? I just get a page not found when I look for http://www.qsl.net. None of the individual sites like my home page can be brought up either?

Thanks... and hope all is well?

Same result.  It is not just you.

I could ping it though, so something is still there.

Curiously, I could not get a complete trace route on it though.  Got several hops, then it just timed out.   I wonder how I got the ping results if the route was not good.

Site seems to work fine.

    Why jump to conclusions if a site isn't available 24/7/365.25?  Sites occasionally DO have problems, equipment failures, upgrades requiring downtime, etc.  And if that IS the case, they might not be able to post a notice that the site might be unavailable for a while.

Sorry, I should have reported that the site was back online later the following day. I have to assume it was an outage of unknown origin. With the amount of unprotected personal computer systems out there, it my guess that one of many malware products is affecting the site.

It is not repsonding today, 12/22/2005, since about 6:30 AM (East Coast time).

I am not complaining, this stuff does happen. Just curious as to whetehr anyone knows what is going on?
