I've been having some problems with fetching dependencies for dub both locally and, especially, in the CI. It's basically that repository seems to be down, even though actual website works. Does this happen a lot or am I just unlucky? And is it something the community is aware of and trying to fix or not?

This happens, less than in the past as there is a miror. You can check the uptime here [1]. Data for the last few months are rather encouraging.

This issue is a recurring one. Does it have to do with hosting?

I guess the traffic has increased and they need to do some upgrade of their hardware.

The Internet was still functioning. I could visit other sites.

So the problem was at code.dlang's end and not the Internet.

Just guessing.

I think the dub registry and code.dlang.org are two distinct things.

There have been some improvements to it recently.

There is also the mirror at dub.bytecraft.nl
Newer versions of dub have it as a fallback.
You can request it explicitly by passing the --registry to dub.

No, that is what we refer to as dub registry.
