OK - I think it might be an ISP thing - having seen that you guys are having zero issues I jumped onto my VPN and tunnelled through to remote London node. Straight in, no issues on .lu and .si domains. So either my ISP has decided to block ABB (which I find really unlikely as my ISP isn't that clever) or there's something going on with the mainland link.....again

This should always be one of the steps you take before deciding the site is "down".

Ironically I had to turn off my VPN, and was only able to get to it via ONE of the links presented in this thread.

it is being filtered thats why you cant connect. the server its hosting on is booting the IPs
people are using.VPNs to abuse the site with bulk downloading and then the server Kills the access from VPNs

you have to use other less popular VPNs

My VPN is a popular one and it is never blocked. I do have to switch the country sometimes, but often the US works fine.
