Looks like Hackage is back up now. The official word is that something (not sure what yet) was hitting the server really hard and causing the load average to go through the roof, and it had to be rebooted.

Thanks, good to know. Is there a way to configure cabal to use the mirror, instead? -- Lorenzo Bolla http://lbolla.info

I believe you can do this by setting the 'remote-repo' property in your ~/.cabal/config file. There doesn't seem to be a command-line option to set it. -Brent
