Hi, it's back online now in the last 20 minutes.

Graphs seem to suggest network outage between 5.10am and 9.20am GMT.
I'll raise a ticket to see what happened, other than that the
server/services intact. 107 days, 9 hours, 50 minutes uptime. :-)

I've been told that the provider was hit by a large DoS attack in
their London DC this morning.  At this time I've been told that it has
been fully mitigated, and network connectivity has returned to normal.

If it's not too hard, it would be nice to have some download 
mirrors, as I understand the website has been down before. 
Although the web pages were still available in Google's cache, 
the downloads weren't. I can set up a mirror on my server if you 
like.

You might also look into using CloudFlare (it has a free plan), 
it will cache and display the last seen version automatically if 
the website is down.

This is a completely irregular thing to happen.  And any scheduled downtime
I'm normally alerted in a timely manner to notify about here.
