weblogs.com ping

Is it because my hosting provider out of U.S? Or weblogs.com is simply too busy? That might be multi-millons pings weblogs.com received at every single moment, but it’s a bit too many for me to get timeout. I was getting about 4 of 5 average failed ping to weblogs.com, wondering could it possibly is server problem… Point browser to weblogs.com but it looks good.

[Update] Saving of this entry is failed to ping weblogs.com too.
[Update.2] Updating of blog entry seem don’t have the problem on ping. weird?

A search dug up this thread in the movabletype support forum , which explains that MT waits for a timeout and tries to send a ping again later, e.g. when you update your entry. ... The protocol should have specified trackback entries to be idempotent ...

Although I originally found out about it 2 months ago , today I finally got around to installing the Manual Trackback script for people who have weblog software that doesn t support trackback (like Blogger or Radio), but still want to send trackback pings. ... There s now a link on every comments section where trackbacks are enabled (or there will be when the entries are all rebuilt), which runs you through a simple PHP script that asks you for the details and then sends the ping. ... It can be hacked to point at other servers - for example ...
