Is anyone else's iDisk not working?

Barking at the moon.
Mine's acting weird, I can get it on the desktop and open it up, but I can't get into any of the folders. It just turns blank and does nothing. I've even rebooted. I really need it load some homework online, there isn't anyway to ftp to my iDisk, is there?

Is anyone else having difficulties or is this just me?
 
Mine seems okay, but a little sluggish.
What you can try, though, is accessing your iDisk thruogh terminal. First, mount the iDisk in Finder in the usual way. Then, open up Terminal. You can cd to the iDisk under /Volumes/yourmacname and browse it using unix commands. It runs much faster s it doesn't have to download icons or resources, but only the filenames.
Then, when you find what you want, "cp" lets you copy it to your own disk. You'll find you can do most iDisk functions this way if you have a really slow connection.
Also, make sure you are running a more-or-less current version of OS X. At least 10.1.1, anyway.
