[Python-Dev] Starship is still down...

[M.-A. Lemburg]

It's been over a week since I posted my last gripe about
our community server starship being unreachable. Nothing has
happened so far... is there any chance on getting the server
up and running again ?

I am a bit concerned about the lack of support here: starship
should be considered a very important part in the Python
universe (after all, many Python extension packages and goodies
are available from that site). With the frequent downtimes
we recently had, I think people will get a wrong picture about
the Python community support.

Here's a traceroute from Germany to starship:

It looks as if ABOVE.NET is having some serious routing problems.
