Thanks so much.
You're welcome.
Just to update: Over 12 hours later with no updates at all being posted about the issue and catbox appears to be back up and functional. However, the status site still reads as there being a "major outage" and there are still no updates of any kind posted. I suppose it may not be fully up yet and may go back down again.
I did manage to finish the last minute on my download just now as I am heading off and I will not be able to check in on it again for some time.
I appreciate deeply your explanation. Thanks again. I assume that this will be the new norm
You're welcome. 22 hours later and it still notes a "major outage" without an update on the status page. However, the site is functional and now includes a banner stating:
"Your userhashes have been rotated due to a security incident. Log into your account and go to "Manage Account" to find your new userhash. More information will be available soon."
It appears it wasn't a normal outage and the site was instead taken down to handle that security issue -whatever it entailed- and to prevent it from becoming worse.
I'll just keep an eye on their progress with the issue and only note again if something of concern is raised.
