biomaRt GRCh37 down?

Question

[alexander.nash]

Hi, I am currently getting the following error:

library(biomaRt)

mart<-useMart(biomart="ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL",
              dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl", 
              host="grch37.ensembl.org")

Error: 1: Extra content at the end of the document

I can't find any post specifying any scheduled maintenance. Is the server down?

Thanks!

I am also getting the same error.

Any info about maintenance?
