The last few days, when using reportbug, I get (from two machines, on
two different networks):

Querying Debian BTS for reports on linux-2.6 (source)...
Unable to connect to Debian BTS; continue [y|N|?]?

except some very rare cases.

Anybody else having the same problem?

I just tried it from the southern US, and it worked like a charm.

I just noticed that it only fails on a certain package:
linux-image-2.6.32-3-686 which has over 800 bugs.
Must be some timeout...
...
Found a reportbug filed bug:
#572316: reportbug: timeout for querying the BTS should be configurable
by user

for which a --timeout option is to be added.
