You are not alone.  This is a me-too post! Exactly the same problem.

Also, it seems that altme.com and safeworlds.com websites are down.

I assume Altme has to do a request to altme.com to get the IP address of the 
world.  Thereafter (unless the IP address is dynamic), a session should work 
without further reference to altme.com.

This (assuming my analysis is right) introduces a single point of failure, 
with a couple of (immediately off the top of my head) approaches to alleviating 
it:

-- Altme could have mirror servers, and look the world-name up on those
-- If altme.com (and mirrors) aren't available, the start up could try the 
last-used IP address.

Altme is so useful, that it is really annoying when it doesn't work.  I 
shouldn't really complain though: it's free (at least the way I use it) so I'm 
certainly getting value for money,

Sunanda.
