I've been trying to download server files for the last little bit (20-30 minutes) and they seem to keep timing out with a CreeperHost error. Does that seem like an error on their end or am I doing something foolish?

Details:
I am trying to download from: http://feed-the-beast.com/download.php
Getting the CreeperHost Error: 503 Service Unavailable - 421646983
I have tried to download several of the files, and none have gone through....

Thanks for any thoughts, apologies if this is misplaced, wasn't sure if it belonged here or website feedback.... :\

EDIT: Yes, that seems to be the issue. Tried downloading it again this morning and I was able to grab things. Does anyone know if this is normal (i.e. from time x to y, there is typically a large demand on the server so it's not really worth trying to download)?

Well to try and guess when to download is always odd because other people are thinking the same thing. Personally either get the update the second it comes out or wait a few hours (considering I never use the server download, I download the client and remove the mods that arn't suppose to be there which also prevents config conflicts).
