Scheduled Network Maintenance — Tuesday, September 29, 2026
Switch and router firmware updates from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time

12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. EDT (16:00 – 22:00 UTC)

We will be performing network maintenance during this window to apply firmware updates to our switches and routers. These updates include security and stability improvements.

You may experience a few brief interruptions as equipment is updated and restarted. Each interruption should last only a few minutes. Article retrieval in progress may be interrupted and will need to be retried, and your newsreader should reconnect automatically once service is restored. No action is required on your part.

If you continue to have trouble connecting after 6:00 p.m. EDT, please contact support at [email protected] or check our status page.

Thank you for your patience while we keep our network up to date.
