Cannot connect or start in-browser client

  1. Is anyone else having trouble connecting to the server? I just get a connection timed out error.

    However, when I try to connect via the browser, the client won't even load, it just crashes.

    I thought it might be a Java issue, but I can play singleplayer fine.

    I am using Spoutcraft for multiplayer and the regular client to play 1.8.
  2. Yeah, Minecraft is currently experiencing issues right now. Minecraft.net itself is up, however, the part of their server that authenticates when joining a game server is down.
  3. I thought it might have been that, but I can never tell. I figured if I could log in on the site that the auth servers were up.
