I just tried it via IE and FTP, and both seem to be working now.

This is a message form the ftp admin explaining the earlier problems.

-----------------------------------
Outages
-------
At approximately 11:50 AM PT (2:50 PM ET) we experienced a massive power outage in the area of our facility which caused major problems for us. The UPS systems in place were not strong enough to deal with the power failures, and the network started bouncing as one UPS system after another failed. Eventually, about 1/4 of the network is was down, and we scrambled for most of the afternoon to bring it back online.

Around 1:50 PM PT (4:50 PM ET), power has been restored, and all network services were back online! We apologize again for the outage and are working hard to move everything to our new location (see below).

The Big Move
------------
We are preparing for a big move. Our network has outgrown our current data center, so we are in the process of moving to a new high-tech facility with state-of-the-art Internet connectivity and power. Outages will be a thing of the past in this new facility. The new move should be completed by the end of March 2004.

Stay tuned for more information. All current customers will be receiving email notification with complete details of the move.
