I'm experiencing problems also. It looks like ws.geonames.org is down. Is there an alternate server available?

  just slow. I have restarted the db, some db process seemed to have been
  turning endlessly.

  Bye the way, do you know why I always have to moderate your postings?
  Shouldn't googlegroups automatically change the status of a new poster
  after the first approved posting?

Seems to be fine for me now, perhaps its just temporally load.

If its critical to you perhaps this will help:

Laurent

There are in fact a couple of servers behind the domain ws.geonames.org.
  They are not down, only overloaded sometimes. If the probs continue we
will have to reduce the number of free requests. We cannot make the cake
bigger, all we can do is to make the pieces smaller.

There are alternative servers for enterprise users :

And here is a donation link (somebody has to pay for the bandwith) :
