Continuously getting this a white page with this message trying to access any page on chess.com:

Service unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. 

 

This only seems to happen on chess.com (it does happen very rarely on other sites. Today it has been extremely frequent. I only decided to report it now (and with difficulty) because I couldn't connect to *any* page - not live, not my games, nothing. What's the deal?

For example, I tried to post this ten times before I actually got through.

Did you try to run CCleaner? Or checked your internet connection, was it always stable?

What connection do u use? Try internet explorer or Google. Firefox also and see if that helps.

Is it possible for someone to block you from playing?

I'm not located in Australia at the moment.

According to speedtest.net, my upload speed is 61mb/s, my download speed is 6mb/s. My internet connection seems to always be stable.

My browser is Torch (Chromium-based).

I don't use CCleaner, but I use Glary Facilities. I don't see what effect that would have, though.

I guess it is possible for the building administrator to block me from playing (for whatever reason, I live in student accommodation, so I'm at home), but this blank page isn't the same one that comes up when I try to access blocked material, for example. 

Today I don't seem to be getting this error. Or at least I haven't yet. 
Thanks for all your imput.
