Well, nose.python-hosting.com (Jason Pellerin's project) is certainly
inaccessible to me as well as most of the other free Tracs that I could scrounge
up through Google. Jason's not just being paranoid. While it may be temporary
and he will get hosting back in a few months(!), it's still down, and apparently
without warning (I'm not a party to any of this, so I'm simply going with what
Jason wrote).
