Need Help - My Mixminion server does not start anymore

[Runaway RemailerAdmin <runaway@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since about half a week I cannot start my mixminion server anymore. I have
really nothing changed. I suppose there is a problem with the directory.gz
file When the server starts (I am on Mixminion 0.0.7.1 Win32) the procedure
pauses when trying to pull the directory.gz, it tries a while and then
crashes.
I went with my browser to the
http://www.mixminion.net/Directory/directory.gz and downloaded the gz file.
manually. Looking at is it was empty.
Any idea what the reason for the server start crashing could be. I am
copying hereafter the log file with the error messages. The server starts
normal but as soon as it comes to the point pulling the directory.gz it
crashes.
