Yes, the etta server (which I nearly always get) was not responding yesterday here in the UK. mudcat.org was timing out for me. This morning etta still wasn't working - unreachable this time - but mudcat.org got me the awe server. awe had been working throughout. etta started working again sometime this afternoon.

I did wonder yesterday whether anyone in the US knew that etta had failed. As this thread title suggests, it's soon became evident that half the users were missing.
