also had a problem with macupdate. it seemed to time out.
the spinning asterisk kept moving but i knew this was bogus because i have littlesnitch running on my screen and saw no incoming data through omniweb.
this problem went away about 5 or 6 hours after the new offer was posted. i had assumed that it's server related.
i also had problems with <kingsizedirect.com> on black friday which i resolved by placing a phone order. i assume net traffic was higher than a lot of servers were designed to handle for these merchants.
i hadn't considered this an OW problem until you mentioned it here.
i am using ow5.8. did someone say there's a new sneaky peak? where can i get it?
