Probably DDOS, It's down from several hours.

Damn. On the bright side I decided to swing by the Mac App Store today and I found that LiteCoin now has an app called LiteTrends. It basically tells you the current price of several categories for LTC. Plus, it's free! So if anyone uses LTC go to the app store and download it. It's working fine for me. However I dislike this annoying timer at the top of the GUI. Other than that the app is nice and simple. It lives in the menu bar so it's out of the way.

Apologies. BitVPS is suffering a DDoS right now, there's nothing that I can do to fix the situation, other than wait for them to correct the issue.

You guys should use some other reliable vps provider and use cloudflare.

BitVPS has always been reliable, until recently they've been getting hit more often.

The forum is not the target right now, so cloudflare wouldn't help in any way.
