[sorta offtopic] Cygwin.com / sources.redhat.com down or sorta unreachable?

Is the network situation from May-2004 described here..

  http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-May/009459.html

..possibly repeating itself? I can traceroute to sources.redhat.com (aka
sourceware.org aka cygwin.com) from VA via alter.net, but not from
stanford.edu via ucaid.edu & ncren.net.

anyone have any clues as to what's going on?

thanks,

JeffH
