Can you give a little more context?

Wikileaks.org loads just fine using my standard ISP here in Germany. I once worked for a project that scraped WL periodically for content, so I can tell you from experience that Wikileaks uptime is not exactly stellar - that's why they have a million mirror sites.

Wikileaks has been having DDoS issues for quite a few days now[1], and wikileaks.org (88.80.2.33) is not available with my ISP in Sweden.

Why would it be available so consistently in the Tor browser though?

I have no clue. It does seem like it's blocked selectively as guns seems to have it working from linode.

Edit: It also seems to work from an Amazon instance that I have access to.

Edit 2: It seems like it works from my university (Lund in Sweden).

I'm in the US. If it doesn't load in any browser, and http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ says its down, but then loads instantly in Tor... I assume something is preventing me from seeing it.
