Is Eternal September usenet server down or is just me??

The only time I noticed a problem was the beginning of last week, when I
could not connect for a whole morning. After that, it settled, and I
did not experience any of the problems others mentioned.

Today, however, no problem connecting, but I notice from replies that I
am not receiving all articles. I did not, for example, see the initial
question about white hardboard for a boat, but have seen the replies.



If you use ES I commend the ES support group for news on the server. Ray
Banana posted there re timeout issues at 19:37

The problem is that I can't see this support group from my alternate
newsserver so when eternal-september is down I can't see the support
messages explaining why it is down.

there don't seem to be support messages explaining why it is down

just random users complaining that it is (which may, or may not, get
answered by support staff with an explanation)
