Ha, I was about to say what the guy above me said.
Try that, because Im running right now through a 56K modem, and it worked. It took me a minute to load though...
I think I am having similar problems. Right in the middle of changing a file using ftp, everything shut down. I can still access my account page, but cannot access the website and cannot ftp into the website. They are changing/upgrading their servers for the free sites and I wonder if this could be causing the problems?
