Some people were able to get in today for short periods of time but by no means is the problem solved. There is a dedicated thread here:
http://www.watchingtheriverflow.org/...?topic=12846.0, for information and discussion about ELL.
The following banner now appears at the top of the index page on ELL:
"We apologise for our ongoing connection problems. We have done what we can, but the real problem appearsto be due to our network/ISP, which seems to employ some form of Traffic Shaping during busy periods.
We understand that this is frustrating to many people but the only alternative would seem to be to pay $200 a month
and ask for donations which is not a course of action we want to take."
