Is anyone else having problems connecting to Cosmology@Home?

I seem to remember a message on their site a couple of days ago about them turning off their scheduler (and not sending out anymore WUs) so their validator can catch up... but until now I've still been able to go to their website... now that too seems to be unavailable .

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

I would say they are just having a few server problems and they will be back soon!
