Intersting. It works fine for me. Did you try multiple times? (Since you
tried a different browser, I assume you did). Could be just one mirror
that's broken - can you check which mirror you're serving off?
Also, does it serve any specific ad? Or does it break with different
ads? (Should be visible from view source)

Can't say anything about that one.

Of course. Maybe it's was some dns problem (all the adresses seemed to
resolve, but maybe some adress have been updated but not propagated to all
dns servers, or something. What do I know?).

As I said, I could solve it just fine by using adblock so it's not a 
problem for me. I just wanted to tell someone about it.

I did try like 50 times during 30 minutes. Every time it got stuck waiting 
on 200.46.208.156.

And guess what, now that I remove the adblock to try some more it seems to
work again. Aaarg, computers drive me crazy :-)

Aaahh. I missed that parto f your screenshot!

That means ads.hub.org was down, and it would wait until it timed out.

Marc - can we make that check async? Since you're updating the code
anyway, because it breaks website XHTML complicancy? Need any help with
the code?

Stupid question Dennis ... what time was this?  Early afternoon my time, 
we had an 'out of disk space' condition that forced me to restart the 
vServers on that machine ... wasn't thinking timezones ;(

Around '2005-11-22 9:00:00 CET'. That would be sometime in the middle of
the night US time. I'll try to remember to get a traceroute the next time.

It's working now so it's not like it's a big problem.

The problem is that the javascript in the banner code is doing a 
document.write(), which is a sync call ... if there is a break anywhere in 
the network, or the ads server goes down for maintenance, it jams up the 
works ...

Does anyone know enough about Javascript to know how to re-write it so 
that its async instead of sync? :(
