Of course my FCD pro arrives this morning (yes!) and www.funcubedongle.com has been down since at least sometime yesterday (crap!), so I can't download any of the software to set it up.

I've found an excellent set-up tutorial online, but am wondering if any other sites are hosting the software?

Super. WTF is up with Comcast (who I use)? Blocking a site?
I was on their site just a couple days ago with no problem.

*Appears you are correct - no problem connecting to it on my droid via VZW

* chatting with Comcast now

Comcast is definately blocking (determined by running tracert). Rep "assures" me issue will be resolved within 24-48 hrs...we'll see.

Thanks for the help guys!

I talked with Howard from Funcube and we discovered all of his URLs on that particular host are being blocked by Comcast.

Sounds like Comcastic is really Socialistic--I had it for internet & TV for about 10 years, now have it only for TV.
They started sending lots of reset packets which slowed up my downloads. Now they send me an offer every month to get internet again for $14.99.

Yep - looks like they lifted the block this weekend.
