I'm having the same problem. Sometimes it will load the homepage sometimes it will get me to the game page and start to load the game but all i'll see is an empty java loading bar. Really strange and it makes me sad.
Yes I have the EXACT same problem as you guys, I was building a tower then all of a sudden I was booted and couldn't even log in! I tried visiting the website to see what was going on to find that was down too. I somehow eventuly got onto single-player but couldn't get onto multi-player. It was just this everlasting (and I qoute) "Logging In....". Then I came here to see if anyone else had this problem (and yes, I joined just to say this).
EDIT= This is the only site (apart from minepedia) that is related to minecraft that ACTUALY works.
Yep, servers went down suddenly and stayed down. I can play Single player once I got logged back in (multiple tries) but Multiplayer is hosed. Just permanent "logging in" timeouts on servers I know are up.
What I'm getting is that the new update clashed with something and my launcher 'dun goofed, and now I can't access the server to re-download anything. Changing skin is down, too.
I've got nuthin to do tonight so I'm just watching this progress and it seems llike a DDoS attack, but I dont think it is. And 50% of the time, I'm right 100% of the time. So let's all hop on an irc channel and wait it out :biggrin.gif:

"By "sexy time", I naturally meant magic the gathering, not passionate sweaty love cuddling." - Notch. Yes, he actually said that. Check Twitter.
This is stupid. It really does look like a DDOS attack.
A similar thing happened to a game I used to play called Face of Mankind. Some script kiddies got upset about the development status, and ran some bots.
The guy who started it was caught and if my memory serves me, he was fined for a LOT of money.
Isn't it possible to catch the kids doing this and punish them?
However, if it's not a ddos attack and someone spilled coffee on the control panel, disregard this post.

I would agree with the DDoS. It's up and down all over the place. Our server turns verification off and I'm running fine on it. As long as I don't exit the exe and have to log in again.
Its weird... It doesn't work on my comp, but if I use a SSH Tunnel to access it, it works perfect, and uber fast..

I see what you did there... :happy.gif:
Still, it is still very, very much down for me >.=.>
Has anyone heard any official word yet?
There's no way. Have you seen Notch's to do list recently?
EDIT: and down again -.=.-
Yeah he has sooo much to do. I think we'd probably get a set date for Beta when it's announced.
