Servers are occasionally down.  I think the us3 mirror was down for
quite a while today (us4, us2 and www all worked when I tried them
earlier).

In my signature do you notice how I have the php.net site without
indicating which mirror I want?  That's because making the request in
*that* way will let the php.net site determine which mirror to use for
your request.  Perhaps you will have better luck in the future if you
try to;

<?php

fopen('http://php.net/images/php.gif', 'r');

?>
