    I am suddenly (since yesterday) not able to connect to any servers with Fetch, connections are being immediately refused, although I am able to browse to the sites themselves. I've restarted Fetch and my Mac. Here are the servers I'm trying:

    208.109.168.75
    208.109.168.62
    www.mackstudiopro.com

    ftp.fetchsoftworks.com is also unreachable.

    Here is the full Fetch transcript:

    Hi,

    I'm not getting a response from 208.109.168.75 or 208.109.168.62 but I'm able to connect to www.mackstudiopro.com and ftp.fetchsoftworks.com. If you still aren't able to connect to www.mackstudiopro.com or ftp.fetchsoftworks.com I would suspect a networking issue. As for the other two, I'd check to confirm that the server addresses haven't changed, and that the servers are online.

    Thanks,

    Jim Matthews

    Yep. It turns out it our hosting team put a block on outgoing FTP for some reason and it had nothing to do with Fetch. Thank you for your assistance all the same.
