Cannot access Ensembl website

Question

[rtho]

Hi- is anyone experiencing difficulties accessing Ensembl? For me it's been intermittent for a couple of days but now I can't access any of the mirrors at all. The status page doesn't mention any downtime, and I've tried other computers and networks with no success. Trying to establish if it's specific to our location. Thanks

I had trouble connecting to all mirrors via the R biomaRt package this week for what that's worth.

Ben_Ensembl, anything we should know?

Thanks, that helps as most of what I was working on was through BioMart. Hopefully someone associated with Ensembl will be able to confirm

[rtho]

Well, predictably now that I've asked the question it's just come back live for the first time today. Hopefully it was just a short-term glitch

Hi rthomas,

It seems that you experienced some intermittent issues over the weekend but I'm glad to hear that the error now seems to be resolved. Please do contact helpdesk[at]ensembl.org if you run into any more trouble.
