file_get_contents yields an error

"failed to open stream: Operation timed out in..."

[jp_css]

I am using the method file_get_contents which I am having read the source of an offsite page. I created a simple test script and enabled error displaying and get the error message: Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.thepage.com): failed to open stream: Operation timed out in /thePathOfTheScript/untitled.php on line 3

Does anyone know if this is a problem at the server's end? This function has been working up until about two days ago. I have been trying to contact customer service on this thing, but I haven't got any response yet. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or do I just need to wait for them to do something on their end?

If I read that correctly, it's just a problem on the side of the server (http://www.thepage.com/). Just take the error at face value ;)
