Has anyone else had problems accessing Distrowatch lately? |
|
I'm getting "Address not found" when I click on the link, although I haven't seen anyone else mention that they have the same problem either here or elsewhere;
http://www.distrowatch.com/
Has anyone else found the same thing?
Thanks in advance,
CP .

Same here, no problem.
Maybe clear the cache? Or try another browser?

Thanks to everyone who's replied. Just looking at the answers and people's locations; could this be a UK-only (or Europe-only) problem, since the Americans here seem to be able to access the site without any problems?

So that is very fresh.
Could it be your ISP but two persons having same problem
would indicate a cable or a DNS thing?
Tell me what you want to look at there and maybe I can
copy text and links so you can download the iso of something? or link to a review. What can be of interest?

Still no connection today. This time on XP using Firefox.
I can live without it though, won't be hitting the happy pills.

NO DISTROWATCH Subject description: A SOLUTION |
|
I also could not get DISTROWATCH here in the uk.
It seems to only effect talktalk users ,But there is a solution, if you use the tor network (in the puppy repo) it will connect to Distrowatch
It looks like a talktalk server issue .......HOPE THIS HELPS.

I'm on TalkTalk, so that must be it. Their broadband speedtest has gone AWOL too for the last few days.

Yeah that's right, I'm with TalkTalk too! Sad to hear about the broadband speedtest; I've thought of changing to a different ISP but I'm on a generous download limit (80 GB per month) with TalkTalk and I'd be lucky to get the same elsewhere for anything like the same price.
I'll give tor a go, it looks promising.
Cheers,
