Ensembl biomaRt Down?

Hi,

Currently getting the following error:

library(biomaRt)
ensembl    <- useMart("ensembl")
Extra content at the end of the document
Error: 1: Extra content at the end of the document

Any ideas?

Cheers,

biomart ensembl

We're doing maintenance right now. Should be back in the next few minutes.

Should be back now (I would have posted earlier but I was in a meeting).

Hi,

I'm currently experiencing the same issue. When inputting: ensembl<-useMart(biomart = "ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", host = "grch37.ensembl.org", path = "/biomart/martservice", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl")

I receive the following error: Error: 1: Extra content at the end of the document

Wondering if it's an error on my part or if there is ongoing maintenance?

Thanks!

This error seems to be coming up again (August 27th, 2016).
