'm having troubles connecting to GitHub, and I've seen past posts about the proxy. The error I'm getting is:

Failed connect to github.com:3128; Connection refused

I'm on a free account and it seems like this problem has pummeled the free account proxy previously

Hi there -- yes, you're right, the proxy had crashed. Looks like someone had (probably inadvertently) DoSed it. We've restarted it and are trying to work out how to guard against this kind of problem.
