DMOZ down state today can be worm related, but the overall situation with dmoz.org is very weak. I'm from Europe and the January availability report for host dmoz.org looks like:

UP 22d 19h 37m 79.793%
DOWN 5d 18h 40s 20,207%

So low availabilty for a major host remarkable!

Sorry to say, but your numbers arent quite accurate. Let me explain why:

I guess the tool you are using tries to connect once (since thats normal procedure). DMOZ implemented a load-restriction lately, while staff works on server capacity being increased. That is to provide more percentage of the not sufficient capacity to the editors :)

Stupid thing is that you will get a "server down" each time you dont get a free slot. The server isnt actually down in this case, submitting several requests would show that ;)

(Okay, it actually was down for some hours lately, but this was the first really "down" for some time now)
