Savannah suffering networking problems
     posted by rwp, Fri 13 May 2016 10:58:25 PM UTC - 0 repliesLast
Friday May 6th Savannah was moved to new hosting in the same
datacenter with many various assorted related and unrelated changes.
Since that time there have been wide spread reports of networking
problems. The FSF admins are aware of the problem and are trying to
resolve it.

Hope they've success soon,
