The enemy's server is down?

I've been having trouble connecting today. When I boot up Multiwinia it's not connecting and authenticating me. To add injury to insult, it doesn't bring up a server list when I go to join a game. Instead I just get a lovely "Requesting server list...". It kind of blinks light and dark. Endlessly.

On a related note, shouldn't I get some kind of error message after the game has failed at retrieving a server for a minute or so?

Apparently, the metaserver is having some trouble. It should be back up "soon."
