archlinuxfr: is it just down, or something else?

For several days there's no archlinuxfr repo for me:

error: failed retrieving file 'archlinuxfr.db.tar.gz' from repo.archlinux.fr : Connection refused
error: failed to update archlinuxfr (Connection refused)

I experience the same problem. I guess it is down.

From http://archlinuxfr.org/actualite/195/

Bonjour,

Il est triste d'en arriver là, mais manquant de temps et aucune relève ne se présentant (ne serait-ce que pour mettre à jour le wiki ou autre). Je me vois contraint de stopper le site archlinuxfr.org.

Afin que le contenu reste accessible le site sera mis en lecture seule à partir du 11 novembre. Je vais veiller en outre à ce qu'il reste disponible dans le temps. Aucune fusion avec un quelquonque autre site n'est envisagée compte tenu de l'historique des quelques sites francophones existants, je garderai les noms de domaine pour m'en assurer. Si quelqu'un souhaite par contre reprendre sérieusement le site archlinuxfr en toute indépendance, je serais ravi de lui fournir un accès admin, ceci en attendant qu'un autre emplacement soit trouvé. Je suis joignable sur mon email benoitc at couch dot it.

    * benoît.

Un thread a été ouvert sur le forum:

Basically, it means the admin is droppin' the website because he's lacking time and found no one to take care of it. If anyone is willing to, he can contact this person here: benoitc at couch dot it.

http://archlinux.fr (which provides repo.archlinux.fr) doesn't have the same admin as http://archlinuxfr.org
