It's working fine for me at the moment.
Perhaps there is a router failure between you and GB? Try using a proxy to see if you've still got the same problem.

It is now working for me here in Japan. When I first had the problems, also WebmasterWorld's Server Header Check [webmasterworld.com] gave an error. That one is now still reporting a 'Connection refused' error. Maybe some DNS problem?

Works for me right now in Southern California. It is a little interesting thought that the number of pages listed on the homepage seems to be static lately. Hopefully this isn't permanent. The ability to get your page indexed quickly and have the numbers update quickly seems to be unusual amongst search engines these days.

Today I saw the counter was going up and down again for the first time in several weeks. Later it stopped, but even when the counter was moving you could still read at the 'add URL' page the message "Sorry, this feature is temporarily disabled. Please try again later." BTW, Matt Wells gave an interview [acmqueue.com] to ACMqueue. Few quotes:
- Search is a fiercely competitive arena, even though there are really only five Web search companies today: Google, Yahoo (Altavista/AlltheWeb/Inktomi), Looksmart (Wisenut), AskJeeves (Teoma), and Gigablast.
- I'm hoping to build Gigablast up to 5 billion pages this year. My income level should allow me to do that if I invest everything in hardware and bandwidth.
- [Gigablast] runs on eight desktop machines, each with four 160-GB IDE hard drives, two gigs of RAM, and one 2.6-GHz Intel processor. It can hold up to 320 million Web pages (on 5 TB), handle about 40 queries per second and spider about eight million pages per day.
A nice read for everyone interested in Search Engines.
Added: Just found there was already a thread about this article: Matt Wells interview - Gigablast search engine [webmasterworld.com]

It seems Gigablast had a roll-back to the index last updated in early March. Pages added a few days ago are now gone, and the counter is back to the '273,661,136 pages' which was the value for the end of March and most of April.

Hi b0rdslide, Welcome to Webmasterworld. Gigablast is now indexing again, and it seems the rollback I mentioned in my previous post was undone since pages indexed a week ago now have 'Apr 20 2004' or 'Apr 21 2004' next to the URL. Sometimes I've got the feeling there are 2 different 'data centers' (to speak in Google terminology) at Gigablast. Yesterday when I did a search with the Standard Search with 10 pages per result I saw a slightly different order in the SERPs and sometimes different indexed dates, than when I did an Advanced Search with more than 10 results per page. And those differences were not caused by the cached results.
