[SOLVED] Debian servers down?

Anyone able to ping the debian servers? I haven't been able to for aver 24 hours.

Would help if you said WHICH Debian servers.

My mirrors - debian.lcs.mit.edu and security.debian.org - are up.

Sorry, meant the main ones:
www.debian.org and any subdirectories
us.debian.org

I can't hit security.debian.org. Tried the MIT mirror, seems fine.

http://www.debian.org/ works for me. So does ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian.

Try a traceroute, see where in the path it breaks for you.

Am I being blocked?

traceroute gives "the address www.debian.org cannot be found. Please enter a valid network address and try again."

If I enable torbutton in firefox, I can access www.debian.org.

I rebooted my router to get a new lease, and no change.

So, your DNS is broken. Try using a different DNS server?

Yes, turned out it was the DNS, which I had been getting from my ISP (Comcast). I think that was the problem, since flushing my local DNS cache didn't make a difference. I switched to openDNS, and now working flawlessly.
