Is MotoringFile down?

I'm trying to get into Motoringfile because I can see from my RSS feed the following post:

First Pics of the R56 Press Preview

But nothing is coming up. Is Gabe having server issues? Is this an attack on his site since I REALLY want to look at it right now??

Is it just me, or is Motoringfile down a lot lately? It seems like at least once a day I try it and it comes back "Cannot find Server."

Yes my host is currently a ******* ***** of ****

In three years I've almost never had any issues until two weeks ago. Since then they've been hit by fires, hardware fairlure, DNS attacks, pretty much everything but a plague.

I'm told it should be back up shortly.

I hope so. It's a shame it's all happening during the most exciting news of the year. It's hard for me to get by during the day if I don't have my fix of Motoringfile. Maybe you could get with Todd and DB and do daily podcasts to keep us up to speed!

Thanks for all your work, Gabe.

Yes I have noticed problems in the past few weeks with intermittent outages. Site is still great when it is up.

The site should now be back online. Thanks for bearing with us. As I said earlier, our host is typically very reliable so this recent bit of bad luck has been very discouraging.

What a bummer to see it's not working again this morning. Gabe, are you sure you're not just teasing us?

At least I have woofcast 84 today to feed my daily (hourly) need for updates and Cooper info.

Good luck yet again on your host issues!

Hey Gabe,
When your host illustrates their descriptions of their owngoing problems with pictures of the Hindenberg, Hurricane Katrina, Kobe Earthquake damage, train crashes, plane crashes, an A-Bomb explosion, and a tombstone, it maybe time to look for a new webhost!

I assume they were hit but some sort of bomb this morning. If it's anything less I'll be moving hosts.

I don't drink coffee, but Motoringfile kind of fills in that spot for me. Hate when I can't get on and hope it's back up soon.

Interesting, I'm getting a server not found error, wonder if it is a local issue for me.

Strange. I can get it on my blackberry, but not on any of my internet connections. Must be just an issue with me, I suppose.
