Is slackbuilds.org down?

Wishing you all a very happy new year.

I've been trying to access slackbuilds.org but no luck but I don't get any error messages as the browser seems to be trying to connect it for an indefinite period.

Please see the output of ping and traceroute. Do I need to talk to my ISP?
Should I ask them about it?

Code:

ping www.slackbuilds.org

Works fine here:

Code:

ping www.slackbuilds.org

No problem here too.

All okay here in Northern Canada.

Okay in New York

I was able to connect to the site from eastern Virginia USA.

Thank you all very, very much for your kind help. I'm so relieved to find that it's up. I thought it'd gone forever.
And to "tadgy", I visited slackware.uk but failed miserably to notice the repo page so thank you.
