I suggested it might be overloaded servers because I'm in the U.S. and 
was seeing 504s too.  Then I'd retry a few minutes later and it would 
work.  While I understand the point that the service is U.S. only, my 
guess is that the 504s are due to overloaded servers and not client 
location.  That said, this is all academic anyway - none of us can know 
for sure.
