The fact that you can ping via IPv4 but not IPv6 makes this sound like IPv6 connectivity is broken between us for some reason. Could you reply privately with a traceroute6 to ftpmirror.your.org, along with what your local ipv6 address is, so we can figure out what’s going on?

3) Announcement. By the way, when you take a site down for maintenance, is there anyplace I can look to see if there was an announcement?

At the moment no, because this is outside our SLA-backed offerings we don’t have a status page for it. I’ll see what I can do for something in the future.
