Has anyone else other than me had trouble getting to the Gimp.org or Gimp plug-in registry home page?
It keeps telling me the server can not be found.
http://www.gimp.org/
http://registry.gimp.org/

Yes, I tried two or three times last night and couldn't get it to load. I thought it was my desktop computer until I tried again on my laptop and the same thing happened. I guess it's down for some reason.

Thanks Draconian.

Sorry, I broke it. Replied to a question at the registry yesterday and it went down like a minute later...

FWIW, here's an alternate link for it
http://gimp-registry.fargonauten.de/

-edit-
now it's woking for me

No not me I can get into ok

I couldn't get into your links earlier but now I can.

The GIMP manual has been down several days now.

Oregonian maybe that updating it sometime you can't get onto a site cos of updating the data

Seems to be working fine now.Just a little slow on load.
Thanks everyone.

Yeah; since I use OpenDNS, I actually got a report that some of the servers that the Registry was using were not working proper, so I checked Sourceforge (which I was able to get too) but then when I clicked a few sites, got the same error. Guess everything's fine now. Must have been either a server update or glitch; hope it wasn't hackers again.

OT: I love OpenDNS (<--link for the curious). I recommend it to everyone I know for their home internet.

Yeah; it actually helped on more then one occasion Rob; can't beat the price either (i.e., free for personal use). One of many defense mechanisms that I use and trust me when I tell you that there is no anti-virus/malware program good enough to protect your system. I double-sandbox (virtualized XP combined with Sandboxie; never or extremely rarely browse in Win7 itself despite it's security claims) and so far I know of no way to break this setup (other then personal stupidity which so far I've not experienced; lol). Still, I do use a rudimentary anti-trojan (not even a full fledged virus program; it's called Threatfire and is really designed to be used in parallel with another anti-virus program, but again, I just keep this program around as a crutch and it has popped off on occasion when a site that I got a few of my clipart stuff (MediaMilitia) got infected a while back; they are back to normal now; just deleted my sandboxie session and all was well anyway) built in firewall for XP (VM), and, of course Sandboxie; well worth the money. Use to be lifetime, but tzuk now changed the licensing for new users (lucky I am; lol) but still worth it. Never tried Forcefield (ZoneAlarm's Sandbox) or the few others that I know of but if you want to protect your system, you play in the Sandbox; keep your main system prestine. Yes, I'm paranoid and have been accused of such, but, if you nearly loose your whole college senior design project files (yes, that happened to our group; fortunately our TL kept a secure backup and we didn't loose too much) you would be paranoid too. Also, before I got laid off, I repaired PCs for over 5 years and seen more then I wished and know that there is no such thing as too much protection, but I came up with a solution for me since I know an anti-virus/firewall alone is garbage. Virtualization, DNS filtering, and Virtualization is key to a good secure setup. I keep my Win7 protected with MSE and Built in Firewall, and also keep my XP VM protected as stated earlier, but the protection that I depend on the most is virtualization. Now I'll get off my soapbox again (see what you got me to do Rob; lol).

My understanding is that they switched to a different server and the downtime was owing to typical delays in DNS registering the change (so that 'gimp.org' points to the new location).

The good thing is, the entire time the registry was down, there was NO SPAM to contend with. Hahaha.

No spam is always a good thing.
Good news for the registry then.Does that mean they are getting a face lift also?
I noticed Gimp.org was down at the same time.

Not sure about gimp.org. But AFAIK, Ingo hasn't made any comments about changing the registry's theme/look. It's due, though.

The registry is a sub-domain of the entire gimp.org branch.
