Hello,

about 2 hours ago I was downloading (albeit somewhat slower than normal) from the astraweb secure servers; right now I can't connect. Anyone else having similar issues?

Code:

Typical. Comes back to life 30 seconds after posting. Was about 1200kb/s for 20 seconds, now full speed.

As you can see, the issue was resolved by new DNS information. Erratic ping because of downloading.

I lost the connection with astra for about an hour last night?

They may have had server issues, then.

Possibly. Seems to be sorted out for now anyway.
