Again??? Dear iStockphoto staff, yours it's a great service, but your web host stinks, since it's not very reliable mainly on closing edition days. You should do something, this fail had become a recurrent problem.
Hmm, still looks like the site is down.
There appears to be an Internet routing problem in South Africa right now, which is outside of iStock's control. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. They are aware of the problem and are doing what they can.
I'm still getting the 503 error message *and* on a deadline :(
I'm still getting 503 errors as of 6:42pm EST.
It's still not resolved. I'm still getting this error and I'm trying to re-download a file.
Should be resolved now.
The appropriate people have been made aware of the problem.
The forums are still off-line - 503s when viewing forum posts
Weird. The forums never went down for me. They are looking into it.
