Default worldwide turnpoint exchange down?

Modem failed, and it took a bit to get a tech out. Please do keep the
mirror sites bookmarked for these unfortunate occurrences, and in a
pinch just email me, and I can get you what you need.

Hi Matt,


The link that has worked for years: "soaringweb.org" (without the www at
the front) seems to be down. *But the mirror sites are working fine.
http://soaring.xinqu.net/
http://soaring.gahsys.com/


The problem, at least when connecting from the UK, seems to be in
Comcast's NYC switch fabric. Traceroute gets to
pos-3-0-0-0-cr01.newyork.ny.ibone.comcast.net and then makes 17 further
tries without getting any further and gives up. If soaringwab.org is
normally automatically mirrored by soaring.xinqu.net and
soaring.gahsys.com, the Comcast problem has killed the auto mirroring.

As Paul says, soaring.xinqu.net and soaring.gahsys.com are OK from here
too.
