WikiLeaks's main server in France has gone offline, preventing many users from accessing the U.S. State Department cables and other documents the site has posted online, a group of Swiss supporters said Sunday.

The president of the Swiss Pirate Party, which controls the wikileaks.ch Web address, said he was in the process of pointing that domain name to a different server, apparently based in Sweden.

"The WikiLeaks server in France seems to have been switched off," Denis Simonet told The Associated Press.

"We're now pointing the domain to another address," he added. "That's going to take a few hours."

In the meantime, the site is still reachable through the numerical address of its Swedish server, Simonet said.

3. In a supposedly free market society

This site would be making tons of money considering all the traffic it is getting and yet......

Perhaps our supposed free market society ain't as free as their disciples think.

5. The people keeping the site up are heroes

Just as much as the people who got the info, in my opinon. The PTB are trying hard to shut them down, and they're countering every attempt!
