OpenStreetBugs: connection refused

[malenki]

Starting JOSM today results in error messages that OSB cannot connect:

Der Server ​http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org/ war ein paar Minuten nicht zu erreichen. Da scheint das Fehlerhandling des Plugin noch verbesserungswürdig zu sein...

Hm. After getting the error I tried the link you mention which worked well. After that I tried an older version of JOSM ith which I still got the above pasted error.
If the plugin can't connect the existing error message "connection refused" should be sufficient. The reason why it couldn't connect would be of interest.
But so far I guess this ticket can be closed

The server hosting OSB was down yesterday.
