FWIW, earlier today I was having issues with at least one other part of the net, Arstechnica, on an entirely different browser and windowing environment (Konqueror and KDE, and knewsticker wasn't updating properly either). Whatever the problem was, it'd even hang privoxy (started as a system service, so not even on my normal user, it affected the entire machine), to the point where simply shutting down the service wouldn't work. I had to kill -9 privoxy, zap the service, then restart it. I then tried again, and the same thing happened, including the frozen privoxy. All the while, random other sites were continuing to come up just fine (well, except when privoxy was frozen, of course, for things going thru it). Pings and traces to other net addresses were fine, but Arstechnica was simply unreachable -- both traceroutes and tcptraceroutes ended at the same router. So... what I'm saying is that it's quite possible there was a major net outage of some sort today, and segments of the net were unreachable. I thought it was just ArsTechnica, but if you were having issues with Google Advanced Search, it's possible its main page was reachable, but certain includes or the like, retrieved from elsewhere on the net, may not have been. Everything's working fine again here, now, so if you are still having issues, maybe you /do/ have something sick on your system. Hopefully, however, it was simply a blip, related to what I was seeing or not. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
