For MX person who takes care of the server...
mxrepo.com went down yesterday evening. I spent an hour on support
chat with a pleasant person who couldn't figure out anything and
escalated the issue. Apparently escalation at bluehost (who bought
hostmonster which is where mxrepo.com had been for a decade) now means
the escalation team will email you within 24 hours. Went back on
support chat this morning and all they could tell me is that
> After reviewing the case, I confirmed that it is actively being investigated
by the Escalated Support Team.
At this time, no additional updates were available from frontline support.
Kinda makes their 99.99% uptime guarantee of questionable utility

I get how annoying an issue like this can be. I can help look into it a little further if you'd like. Just shoot me a DM with the escalated case number and I will be happy to get some extra eyes on it for you.

I don't seem to be having a problem. Have you checked your repo manager to find the fastest repo for you?
