Please someone reboot the server or whatever it is that you guys do to fix this apparently recurring (based on the many threads on the same topic) problem.

Thanks.

Second this, was down yesterday afternoon and still down this morning 20 or so hours later.

Great product, but if you have a single point of failure like this then you really need to harden it - or at the very least ensure that downloading new filters is *not* dependent upon being able to talk to the update server as it apparently is at the moment.

----I guess we should all just download every filter ha-ha, then this wouldn't be much of an issue (since it happens fairly often just not for quite as long usually). But yeah, the whole downloading new filters by connecting to the FF site is basically their dongle (ie = copy protection), plus it keeps the filesize of the demo down, and well, they add new filters every day or three, so how else would ya get them ??

Yes. Contact to Authors. I can send all my filters to You if they are interesting + some work projects (Maybe I'll add them to "Creating Filters" forum as pack). Hope other Authors will help You also until the problem be fixed.

----There haven't been any new filters added in 48 hours, same as the time the server has been down according to lindy, so no offense, but you are missing exactly nothing new, nothing that you couldn't have already gotten. *shrug*

Am glad it is not just me, though. I thought I had broken my %$#!@ firewall.
