The last word was that they had a server crash and are working on  
getting the service up again. No idea if this is an excuse, giving the  
continuing problems recently, or when this might get fixed.

Yes, they broke encoding once again, while fixing another issue, right  
before their server "crashed".

I really do hope we don't see the end of this service right now, as  
there is no viable alternative in Germany at the moment. :-(
