Was the Bitcoin site just DDOS'd?

I could not access it (nor mtgox) for a few hours and neither could http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Now they are both back online at the same time.

Are they run from the same servers?

Probably just you. I've been reading the forums all night.

Until circa 5.00 GMT it worked, I was online.

Apparently, there was a DDOS attempt going on at an exchange. I think somebody made a bot herder angry.

I noticed at the same time that this forum was also unreachable (around 10:00 CET).

No it's not. How would you have been able to post then? ;)

I can now only access this site through Tor. Does anyone know if Comcast is blocking it or something?
