Youtube - DDOSS? Or server error?

[Movieen]

A lot of rumours have been circling why Youtube is currentely, down!

Some say, a DDOSS, or a sever error?

What do you think?

[Recursion]

Not down for me.

Edit: its slow but not down.

By the way its DDOS not DDOSS ;)

EDIT2: Fine for me now.

Yeah sorry.

The thing is, I was on my iPOD touch earlier, it worked.
Come back, it's all gone to hell.

I'm in the UK and it's working as usual, no lag. That counts a DOS/DDOS attack out, probably one of the data-centres that they use are down. I know that there have been problems with power in a few most used data-centres in the UK and there has been problem with an internet exchange too recently. This means that there are less servers to handle the users causing lag and appearing down for some people. Well, that's my view.

No youtube is working for me :@

[Kieran]

Not working for me

[Moh]

Down for me.

Even if one server is down, they will have backup servers. Some major organisations have back up servers for there backup servers... lol (Like banks).

Same as Scott. A ping from a US server didn't get through either.

Its called pinging the server babes.

I can't ping it, but I can access it via the IP, probably just DNS. nslookup can't find an address for it.
