Could be down to the sudden closure of ABC1 - server overload - same thing happens during Big Brother sometimes.

(One thing I've noticed, via Google, is that all Digital Spy's servers seem to be named after characters from the Magic Roundabout... I've spotted "Ermintrude" and one or two more... I think MediaUK did the same thing).


Same servers.

Hi,

We have had reported to us today Saturday 19th January that some people are having problems accessing the site. We have been told by our network supplier that one of the networks they peer with is having routing problems. This means that if you are also connected to that network that Digital Spy may not be as available as it should be.

We apologise for any inconvenience this might cause and rest assured that our network team are trying to solve this as I type this.

Regards
DS Support

Yeah same here. You should see some of the initial posts in some of the General Discussion forum threads when Digital Spy goes down even for a very short space of time, some of people sound very suicidial, almost like its the end of the world that they couldn't post on a forum.
