Cabal fails with a timeout like this:

stuart at Panforte:~/Code/gift-parser# cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
<http://hackage.haskell.org>
cabal: timeout

  From traceroute it seems that I'm having routing problems.

   I'll get a fix from this end. Time to call the ISP.
I wonder if any others in Australia on Optus' network are having the
same issue?

Thanks all.

         I cannot reach the hackage server so cabal can't download packages.

         Have I the correct address?

     Yes.

         69.30.63.204


     Same result for me.



         I also cannot access any of the Hackage web pages.


     No problem here.

     What is the error for you? hackage.haskell.org
     <http://hackage.haskell.org> doesn't seem to answer pings btw.
