I think everyone is having problems, I certainly am.
I'm having some success with trying different Communities, but it takes a while to get on one and they are not as stable as they used to be, but at least I'm getting some hosts. BTW when it says "failed to connect" I just start it again.
Or try
www.gnufrog.com or
www.gnusearch.com
I've not tried the latter, but someone said it was good.
Good luck
