[BioC] biomaRt connection problems

[marek piatek (BI)]

Mike,

That might be the reason for you not being able to access biomaRt..

>From ensemble.org:

"22 June, 2010
Power failure

We are currently experiencing a power failure which has taken the main Ensembl site offline. Our mirror site uswest.ensembl.org is still running so please use this until we have the main site back online."

Thanks Jim, Sean

That URL just worked for me, so I guess there are intermittent problems

Thanks

Hi

I've been having biomaRt connection problems all morning:

Error in value[[3L]](cond) :
 Request to BioMart web service failed. Verify if you are still connected to the internet.  Alternatively the BioMart web service is temporarily down.

Hi, Mick.

Hitting the website suggests that the web service is down.  Hit this URL, for example:

http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=registry

In addition: Warning message:

Is anyone else having these issues, or is it just me?

Thanks
