For the last three days, I've been trying each day to get to www.lxde.org to get information on LXDE. It has seemed to be down every time I tried, and when I checked at downforeveryoneorjustme.com, it confirmed the site seemed to be down.

I figured they were just having network troubles, until I noticed tonight that Google's cache of the main page is from LAST NIGHT, just before midnight.

I'm using opendns for dns, but it will not resolve lxde.org. If I do "host lxde.org" I get "connection timeout, no servers could be reached". I get the same from my ISP's DNS servers, and the DNS servers for lxde.org's ISP.

So, is anyone else able to get to the site? If so, what country are you in?
Should I get my tinfoil hat on?

Can't get to it here. DNS isn't resolving. I'm using my ISP's DNS servers.

Well, thanks; but I was looking for specific info from the site. The sourceforge page is still up and working, I notice.

Is the URL resolving for you Dullstar?

Down for me too, it's giving me an "Unknown host" error, saying it doesn't exist.

So the million dollar question... if it's been down like this since at least wednesday....

How is Google still caching it?

Perhaps the project is dead? I looked into lxde a few months ago when investigating options to install on a netbook. I thought it had potential but all the releases available and the news on the site were quite old and gave the impression that not much was going on.

Don't be paranoid. The site is up and running, no problems.

Still not coming up here. Which is why I'm paranoid. Well, not to any great extent...

What is the IP of the site, since you can bring it up where you are?

No, it's not dead. The sourceforge page shows plenty of activity, and lxpanel 0.5 was just released last week.

On the bright side, it wasn't that good.

Just checked it again, the site is ok. I've no idea what's the IP.

I think it's excelent.

I don't know what the deal with 'connection timed out' is, the site opens just fine in the web browser.

Good grief, the project is hardly "old," nor "dead." It's quite new, actually, and undergoing heavy development. More and more of the "lightweight" distros are using it as their default d.e.

It's just been a problem with their server or something. I'm sure they are aware of it... their forums have been very active right up 'til the server crashed or whatever.

Same here, I've been trying many times a day to get informations about lxde tweakings, and it was totally impossible to reach the site these last 3 days.

And the Lxde project is not dead, there are some nice distros running it that have been released recently; among them PCLXDE, a nice tiny PCLinuxOS running Lxde with a GUI for Lxde Control Center.

It is now two years later and I still cannot connect to LXDE.ORG.
It does nor appear to be down, blocked rather.
I wish I could tell who was blocking it.
Better, I wish they would STOP!

The site had been up, but I have not been able to reach anything in the lxde.org domain (forum, www, wiki) all week.

It goes up and down a lot apparently - there is a newer thread here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1882394
