Internet shuting down?

Is it just me or are a lot of sites (typically large ones) down? I have not looked at that many sites but so far found that slashdot, hotmail and flickr seems to have been down today (and none of them up at the moment). Searching on google seems to indicate many other sites are also down. Strange? A coincidence? Or are there some good explanation?

Seems to be a problem with your ISP, Jarulf.

When I read your post, I went to about a dozen sites pretty much at random from my bookmarks. All of them came in, and pretty quickly at that. --Pete How big was the aquarium in Noah's ark?

Is there some huge sports thing going on over there?

So everyone here can connect to slashdot, hotmail (anything on live.com) and flickr?

I don't use flickr or anything on live.com, but I do check my hotmail account daily (it's been fine both times I went today this morning and just now) and slashdot daily and it was fine this morning and just now when I checked again as well.

If one of the exchange points goes down, a whole slew of sites can become unavailable. This will generally affect a lot of people in the same area, so can be easy to detect.

And yes, there does seem to be a lot more streaming videos going on lately, but I don't think it's sports. The surge seems to consist of these horn concerts held in African stadiums (stadia?). The horn-players are so numerous (thousands) and awful that there's some tourist-types going insane and running around chaotically on the grass of the field, kicking each other. Poor bastards. -V

Turned out there was some major problems with the ones providing net capacity to my ISP and various other ISPs here in norther Europe. There was problems with the lines across the Atlantic. Primarilly it affected .com adresses and it also caused problems even if sites had servers even i Europe (or something along that line). So not a DNS problem as one still couln't connect switching to another DNS or even just using the IP number directly. Now it works again though and internt was appearantly not closing down
