Just to build off what haprish posted, the servers aren't down right now, but will be, there's an expected transfer & update soon, once CM gets around to it.
You probably tried it when it was down.
In the mean time you may want to get everything downloaded and updated so you can get on now, or after its updated, and not have any errors.
qrRO Client:
http://www.quantumraiders.com/qrRO/qrROPatcher.exe
kRO & Skro: (updated monthly)
http://host.martint.net/kro/index.php
(If these links dont work, try
www.ratemyserver.net for links.)
and some people have issues with errors on patching with some clients, and some even error with the qrRO's auto-patching, if qrRO's patcher is getting errors try updating kro & Skro manually via their Clients till they're updated, then re-run the qrRO patcher. if the kro & skro ones error let them keep running, they'll patch anyways. (leave it running for an hour to be safe)
if your lazy and dont wanna fight with the qrRO patcher, replace this with the one in your folder to force it to skip auto-patching, (youll need to update kro & skro manually after doing this, every time)
qrRO.ini replacement:

and don't forget, update both kro & skro before running the qrRO patcher.
If you get ingame and error on palettes and whatnot, i have my Data folder up, and alternativly my seperate Palettes folder up on FileFront.
Data Folder: (has palettes already in it)

Seperate Palettes folder: (stick it in your Data folder itself)
