Bitcoin Block Explorer doesn't process transactions until they get into a block, so you usually won't see transactions there for at least a few minutes after sending them.

Well, Bitcoin client didn't notice them either.
It was like this for about 3 minutes - which never happened before, so I'm saying - it was a little weird.

Has anybody except me noticed a network slowdown about 3 minutes long around 19:25 GMT today (26.02) ?

In that time my new transactions sent from both MyBitcoin and MTGOX didn't show up (even as unconfirmed) in client's list, and were not present in block explorer, which is weird because usually they appear withing seconds after i click "Send payment" on MyBitcoin.
I wonder if anything serious (like DDoS) was happening, or was it just mybitcoin & mtgox's lag.
