According to this ars thread, it appears MacUpdate has suffered a hard drive failure.
MacUpdate.com currently resolves to an Ensim server admin page.
MacUpdate's hard drive took a dive this morning and will no longer boot. This has caused unexpected down time for the MacUpdate site.
We are going to attempt to make the drive a secondary drive in the machine and copy the data over. If this doesn't work, we are in a very bad position, as the MacUpdate site and database are not backed up outside of this drive.
Keep us in your prayers if you would please.,
