Hi Folks,
We're working on getting this fixed now. Turns out that the WordPress repository has grown beyond 32,000 plugins and that has caused an issue on our ext3 filesystems and stalled plugin updates. We're busy doing an upgrade which will fix this right now, which is why we have down-time scheduled for the next 3 hours. Shouldn't take that long. We'll have an update soon. Opening this back up as unresolved until we're done.
Regards,
Mark.
