Intermittent raccess in searching products. But seems as though it is mainly not working correctly.

SR server is about as reliable as an IRL dealer.

SR is not down, however specific times when there is lots of traffic it gets slow.
i can use it fine, but i would have to refresh 2-10 times to successfully load a page.
ofc. it could be a ddos attempt but my moneys on traffic issues.

so no worries, just try again, or comeback later when the traffic settles down a bit.
at least i advice that you dont place any orders while its like this.

It works, but as DocFireTyve said, there are a bit of connectivity issues. Must be overloaded at the moment.
Try reloading TOR, it sometimes helps get a better routing.

Doc's right, certain times of the day are notoriously bad. I usually don't even attempt to log on during those periods unless it's really important. I did try to log on a few minutes ago and failed twice, which is strange - I usually never have problems at this time of day. It comes with the territory, especially when there are people who don't have the best intentions for the site.
