I keep seeing Mt Gox connection errors popping up. Mt Gox is struggling right now with numerous timeouts. They must be running everything on one server.
What you say is true, but the core problem (I believe) is that the tool is configured to call to a non-existent URL. I'm routinely getting the message that connection to MtGox was successful, but nothing is coming through on a live basis, and I see that error that I mentioned in the console log. For me, it gets fresh data, but only when I reload the page.
