And to the people scared about their keys, they can't be stolen. Just have a backup in case blockchain never comes back.

Also ddos protection is expensive, like 10k+ per month
Blockchain needs to start charging us

Try looking (and posting) in the appropriate place gentlemen: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blockchain-wallet-appears-down-19-august-2013-278011
My question was about the bitcoin network working/not working, so this is the appropriate place.

Someone should make an offline one

Why don't you trying concocting a bundle of Abe, LAMP and Python?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)

You could call it ALP. Or just include mysql and call it AMP.

Yah make your own from the blockchain on your computer

Possible but not helpful for average users.  https://blockexplorer.com/ is a fine backup for  https://blockchain.info.

Yes, I realize that blockchain.info and the bitcoin network are completely separate entities. Is there any alternative to blockchain.info, where I could check how the bitcoin network is doing?

Yes.

I saw it. Could anyone confirm that they can still send/receive BTC transactions though, and that this it the problem on blockchain.info itself?

And yes I've sent and received bitcoins during the blockchain.info problems.  Don't panic!  Smiley

I think blockchain.info is under attack, see the thread here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blockchaininfo-under-attack-278017

Indeed it seems they are struggling for the last days....  

FYI to others who come here worrying and wondering:  the bitcoin network where transactions are stored and blocks are added exists completely independently from all websites including blockchain.info.  So this problem is local to their web service and has no effect other than preventing you from getting up to the instant data from their website.

Let the bitcoins flow!!!  Your bitcoin client will still work fine at sending funds, counting confirmations and what not.

According to blockchain.info, the last BTC transaction occurred 59 minutes ago, and the last block was found 1 hour and 3 minutes ago.

What's happening??
