Most of the time I can not acess this site. Thought maybe something to do with my computer so I tried my phone,same thing. Then I disabled the wireless and I could acess the site. Could my ISP be blocking my access? I use RCN.

I have had similar issues off an on the past few years here. What I usually do is turn off my modem for a little while and then turn it back on again. It might be some weird IP issue.

That is weird, I wonder if there is some sort of privacy parental block type of setting that is blocking your access? Maybe try calling them up and asking them if there is a way for you to access/adjust the list of the sites that are being blocked?

Also check to see if they are implementing some kind of bandwith limits on you. Cable companies have been trying to implement bandwith limits on home users. The logic for this is that there is bandwith available for them to make money from streaming paid movies or TV shows onto your computer instead of having BW available for you to DL other stuff content aka links for clips on WWoW which may compete with them. RCN is not a big cable company like Comcast or TimeWarner but they still have limits in how their network is useful. :Kool

Thanks for the advice guys. I don't have issues with other sites. And trust me I DL a lot more there.

It's working today. So good news. It's just odd that times it doesn't work.

For a couple of weeks now, I've had a similar problem- a couple of times a day, I get a "server not found" error. It only happens at home, and when it does happen, it's only this site- pages that are open in other tabs continue to load.
It's not my connection dying, not content blocking or bandwidth limits from my ISP... and if the problem's on the server side, it's so intermittent and brief, it's possible that I'm just trying to log on at the very nanosecond that a blip is occurring.
It's not a big deal to me. Just don't want DrGonzo to think he's the only one with this problem.

Thanks! glad to know i'm not the only one. But like I said, if I use my phone over 3g it always works.

I doubt it was just a coincidence you were able to get access to the site again on the 1st of the month. Must be a monthly bandwidth limit that kicks in toward the end of the month? Problem might not be on your end, just a guess on my part because I'm not tech guru with servers etc.,,,
