Thanks Chris but still broken here, and in canada too where my cust is.  I sent it to them but i should not have to.  Must be a dns server down or something, that would explain why ok in one place but not another. 

I wish they would toss some error control on that message process and give a message instead of the error.  Say something like, 

"This service is temporarily down for maintenance but will return shortly"  

But without a message it makes new customers think there is something fishy going on and makes it harder on everyone. 

Hi All,

This is down in Australia too at the moment.  Throws the same error.

"{"result":false,"error":"service_not_available"}"

It lets you purchase and pay for plugins but not download.  Also applies to previously purchased ones.

Cheers,
Joel

Yeah ross will be in a few hours from now, he does not deal with the store but he can let those who do know about this. 

issue resolved :)
