[ATrpms-users] Access blocked to atrpms.net?

I've seen atrpms access go down temporarily in the past when I didn't
keep up with the domain name changes, but this is the first time I've
seen the respositories (and website!) inaccessible from my work IP
address but working fine from home.

Is 146.6.103.21 being blacklisted for any reason?  That's the NAT box
behind which I'm administering 18 Fedora Core machines which recently
switched from apt (which can easily share cached RPMs over NFS) to
smartpm (which seems to insist on deleting it's cached downloads after
installation).  I hope having one IP suddenly downloading the same
sets of files 18 times in a row didn't look too much like a denial of
service attack.  I've disabled my atrpm channels for now, and if
bandwidth is a concern I can point them to a caching HTTP proxy before
reenabling them.
