After checking with Ohio State, I've found that they have halted our feed.
Apparantly, feeding us was becoming too big of a burden for their systems.
The feed from Ohio State was a redundant feed (mirrored by the feed from
OarNet) so I don't expect many reprecusions from this.
 
The feed from OarNet seems to be getting better.  I haven't gotten in touch
with anyone there yet.
