Is Kicad down?

[zapta]

The second day I am trying to access it and am getting an error.

http://www.kicad-pcb.org/

Is this the correct URL? I would like to try KiCad.

There is a discussion on their mailing list for the issue.

According to the mailing list, it's down more than a week. That's lame. These days you can get decent web hosting for almost nothing. It doesn't reflect well on this project.

I doubt it's the hosting company, it is much more likely a sysadmin with the project that's on vacation or something silly like that.

I asked about it on twitter.  I find it highly unlikely that they don't already know, but I'll see if I can post an update here when I have one.

It's up now by I couldn't find a package for Mac OSX.

The website is a recurring issue. There has been discussion about mitigation on the dev mailing list.
