Statcounter down with Network Timeout - Febuary 2009

STOP Press: Statcounter is now UP.

It seems that Statcounter has been down for a few hours ... Has anybody else seen the same? Statcounter - the free service that tells me how many people are reading this blog and how they reached it - has been down for a couple of hours.

The last time Statcounter was down was way back in May 2008 due to an outage at The Planet (data center).

Any suggestion on a better site stats ?
