I haven't been able to connect to thetvdb.com for several days now. Is it just me or have they been down?

i am still having difficulties with this, can anyone help.
i've gotten thetvdb.com to come up one time after a system reboot but i don't want to reboot everytime i need to update my library.
the problem started randomly without me changing any network setting. i've tried changing all my DNS servers to google's public dns, but no such luck there. I've set up a static ip address hoping that would help, but no luck there either. I'm not running a proxy or anything and the rest of my internet seems to running just find.
Has anyone else had any issues with this like i am having? And does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try?

If you enable debug logging the log will show you what queries are being sent to thetvdb.com. You can try the query from a command line with curl. If that fails try pinging the thetvdb.com server and see what messages are returned.
For example, I did a quick scan on my test installation and my log shows entries like:
If I open a command prompt and test the URL from the FileCurl log I get:
You don't need to know what all the gibberish returned by curl means, the fact it doesn't report an error is sufficient to show it's working.
If curl returns an error, the error code will tell you why the query failed.

i ran debug, i tried to upload it to pastebin but it said it was to large and i didn't know what part you needed.
but i keep getting this:
WARNING: XFILE::CFileCurl::CReadState::FillBuffer: curl failed with code 7
when ever trying to access thetvdb.com
Heres everything after it goes through my movie files. http://pastebin.com/0TNr6z2f
Problem Solved.
After days of searching i found a post stating that PeerBlock blocks thetvdb.com.
any suggestion on what to use other than peerblock?
