Moodle.org Extremely Slow?

Has anyone else noticed that Moodle.org is extremely slow these past few days?

I am located in the US, and for the past few days the site has been extremely slow, often times timing out. I have tried multiple browsers just to eliminate that as a problem.

Thanks in advance!

I'm based in the UK and have noticed a similar issue with the site. No idea why. Cheers Dave

Twitter is blocked at work, but as of this morning the site seems to be functioning normally again (at least from here).

Mail is now getting through to me.  321 notifications early this morning.

I wonder if we are still with Cloudflare?  I noticed this article in our local paper yesterday: http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/digital-living/30021070/ddos-attacks-get-bigger-smarter-more-damaging  Not often we get such a technical level of detail.  One of our biggest NZ blogs was brought down by a DoS attack recently.  Seems it is easier to do this sort of thing now.

Enough conspiracy theory.  Glad Moodle.org is back.
