All of a sudden, NuGet stopped working for all projects. I've tried it on 4 different computers in the office, and all of them stopped working.

If I go to 'Manage NuGet Packages', it says 'No items found' when the node Online > nuget.org is selected.

This was working some time ago I last checked, and all of a sudden it stopped. Any ideas?

I am using Visual Studio 2013. I've tried removing and reinstalling NuGet from Tools & Extensions, to no avail.

I have the same problem here.

In the mean time I used this trick: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToAccessNuGetWhenNuGetorgIsDownOrYoureOnAPlane.aspx

(just grabbed the cache from the various computers at the office and set up a common folder - that way we have something for later, too)
