This is/was (since it's seem to have been fixed) most likely a router problem. Once for nearly two weeks I couldn't access my own FTP area because of a fucked up router somewhere (or that's the explanation UUNet gave me). UUNet was also pretty rude: Their attitude was, "We're working on it, and don't bother us: You're not one of our customers, you ISP is. Complain to your ISP." Well, it's like a taxi rolls up onto your foot and the driver ignores your complaints because "you're not my fare, the guy in the back seat is. Talk to him, not me."

All of which raises another issue. I THOUGHT the whole idea behind the Internet was originally that if any part of it was down, messages would be rerouted around the problem areas. WTF is wrong, then?
