Netflix says it's up and running again.

Glitches knocked the Online DVD rental off its Web site for about 11 hours, inconveniencing many of its 7.5 million subscribers.

The outage could mean some customers will have to wait longer than usual for their next rentals.

A company spokesman says technical troubles blocked access to Netflix's Web site about from about 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern. That's the second-longest disruption since Netflix launched its service 9 years ago.

A spokesman says many DVDs that normally would have been mailed out today may not be shipped until tomorrow.
