The response time depends on network peering from their anycast locations. I am seeing different response times based on test locations.

From US:

Perhaps they accidentally lifted the blocking rules. Or it will drop as soon as they upgrade their censorship software.

Yes, but that is not the official client.

I wish their client had first class support for other operating systems like FreeBSD. Current client is too debian/ubuntu specific.

This is very interesting that "accidentally" all the parts have distinctive marks that can be linked to a B777 aircraft.

wasn't this obvious from the beginning? And the same would happen to RockMelt as well.
