Issues with Litecoin

There is something weird going on with the network atm. 500+ pending transactions that are hours old, yet blocks are not full.

There are reports here that all exchanges have withdrawals not getting confirmed. Is there something wrong with transaction propagation or miner settings?

I don't know what is going on at the moment but myself and a few other people have tried to send LTC to various different wallets/people over the last couple of hours and all our payments are sitting in PENDING with 0 confirmations. Just a warning so people don't loose any money for how ever long it might take
