timing out when trying to reach slackware.com

is it an isolated problem for me, or is anybody else having a problem accessing the slackware.com website. I was wanting to try this distro, but am unable to access a download site. Can't even access the home page for slackware; keeps timing out.

same for me - although this is happening on a lot of sites, could be a dns issue, wouldn't surprise me if seeing as its DNS 25th anniversary some twat somewhere is messing about with a dns server

looks like the the site is down if you need pakages then go to any of the big mirrors.

One such mirror is http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-12.0/
That website also has md5 file for the iso files, which are available as torrents.
