Down for me also, I know it's definately Virgin Media as I when I try to connect using my Iphone I have no trouble getting to the rapidshare homepage using 3G but I get nothing when my Iphone is connected to my wi-fi.
try this site, it will help you.

dont for me, virgin media
Yes me also - working yesterday and not today
Id be interested to know if all those affected also cant access Megaupload.com which also has been unaccessible since Tuesday this week
Its definately a VM block - both sites are there if you use anon proxy web site (which is absolutely no use for premium rapidshare and Megaupload accounts)
Either VM have bodged a config - or they are deliberately blocking certain VM areas (surely would be all?)
Im in East of England (suffolk)

The download managers screwed but you can still download files directly just replace the http:// in the file name with https:// worked for me at least anyway

Got This From Their Forums:
"A friend phoned up virgin media and asked and they said it's been blocked due to high bandwidth usage from rapidshare and megaupload and that the block is inforce from 4:45pm and 10pm."

If virgin were blocking the site, https would not work. Its something else.

If they are blocking RS to lower bandwidth use then why not block youtube and iplayer. I'm sure they use far more bandwidth than RS.

So why should they block Rapidshare?
As Paul said earilier it's just a glitch. If you are so sad that your life depends on Rapidshare try suicide.
OK, this is very weird - I just tried a file on Megaupload - and got the following error ;

That IP address is not my IP address.
A reverse lookup shows me ;
host = webcache1-know.server.virginmedia.net.
WTF ?
I have no proxy servers set, which leads me to conclude that Im being routed to the site via a transparant proxy server - if this is the case, its probably why MU (and RS) seem to be screwed via http, but not via https.
If this is the case VM had better turn this off pretty damn quick.
megaupload.com is accessible using its IP address: 174.140.154.20. rapidshare.com isn't. :confused:

Due to the amount of child porn traded via Megaupload and Rapidshare amongst others ISPs that operate Cleanfeed or similar systems to block URLs on the IWF watch list (http://www.iwf.org.uk/public/page.148.htm) often find themselves proxying some of the servers on those websites.
VM aren't going to be turning it off any time soon I'm sorry to say.
It's nothing to do with intentional blocking of the whole thing, specific URLs get blocked not the entire site, chances are there was a problem with VM's filtering cluster or more kiddie porn than usual on RS / MU so more servers getting routed through the filter which overwhelmed the cluster.
Previous posts of mine on this here (http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/34990752-post2.html) and here (http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/virgin_cable/t/3789853-virgin-using-transparent-proxies-again.html).

Well I never thought id say it, but VM are a bunch of **** then. I dont give two hoots about some watch list. They will always find other ways to deal in their porn, its not a valid excuse to intecept my traffic, and screw it up in the process. No wonder people use torrents.

You must be using a public tracker then.
This really is a stupid move! Once things settle down if this block stays in place everyone will just start using the ones that can still be accessed, then move on to somewhere else etc, etc, they can't stop the downloading for long!
Honestly why the hell have they done this?! I will openly admit I've downloaded some stuff, I don't mind admitting it... But still, its unfair to just block the host, I have some pretty important files on there for my web designing, mainly 200-300mb .psd's I've been working on for weeks so I don't clog up my Mac.

So WTF is VM playing at, not everybody who has a Rapidshare account is downloading illegal stuff... Other people like myself use Rapidshare for work, as their servers are reliable and fast. Granted sometimes they s**k, just a little but my account is legit secure and for work purpose why on earth would they block it...
If it us not VM and other ISP's are fine then the issues lies with VM...? I wonder if some plonker has put a filter in place...? BT have done it in the past with the BBC for some reason people were moaning like crazy for days... The Internet is full of p***ed off people not being able to access Rapidshare. So what gives....?

I imagine it would work. I too tried the RS host adding and it worked, so I tried looking for one for megaupload, found it and got it working too. I imagine depositfiles is no different.
I tried adding 80.208.23.35 Depositfiles.com to the host file but it doesn't seem to be working, anyone have a solution ?, not too important as I only use Depositfiles if that's the only one posted. I was mainly concerned about RS as that's what I use most, and I've resolved that issue.

95% of ISP customers go through Cleanfeed filters. It's industry standard. Torrents don't offer the option of uploading something anonymously and having it downloadable anonymously by a whole collection of paedophiles at high speeds simultaneously. If RS et al were to do more to stop this through making users more accountabe it'd be ideal but this would of course kill their business model which is built around getting paid for anonymous hosting of illegal and infringing material.

Online backup services or perhaps given you're a web designer your own FTP server didn't appeal I take it?
Sounds like it was two separate things, a DNS problem which will likely be Rapidshare's fault and the standard Cleanfeed filtering issues.

The source of some of the issues is a paedophilia filter. Not really about having a fascination just stating a fact.
After deleting some files and doing a scan disk in safe mode it appears that megaupload is working again.

Seems this is quite common.
http://www.ispreview.co.uk/story/2010/05/14/rapidshare-block-panic-strikes-virgin-media-uk-broadband-users.html
I usually just switch to https to upload and download my offices video and PDF stores. Works fine.
http://thenextweb.com/uk/2010/05/14/uk-isp-virgin-media-blocks-rapidshare-and-megaupload
A Virgin Media spokesperson said: “We are aware of an issue whereby certain file upload sites were unavailable for Virgin Media customers from late evening Thursday 13th May. Virgin Media did not block these sites and we are investigating the root cause. In the meantime we have implemented a workaround, and customers should be able to now access these sites again. We apologise for any inconvenience."
I am firmly of the opinion (and the sites involved) this whilst possibly a mistake - was an indication of what they may need to do in the future and which legislation may force them to do
A dry run to establish impact? Who knows for sure
I think was is clear unless this were something all ISP's had to do, then VM would most definately have lost customers
A taste of the darker side of how it could end up - from my pov - very alarming indeed
If Virgin Media actually tell us what caused the problem and how they rectified it then perhaps people won't be thinking of anything sinister.

actualy scrub that ok now
I am firmly of the opinion (and the sites involved) this whilst possibly a mistake - was an indication of what they may need to do in the future and which legislation may force them to do
A dry run to establish impact? Who knows for sure
I think was is clear unless this were something all ISP's had to do, then VM would most definately have lost customers
A taste of the darker side of how it could end up - from my pov - very alarming indeed
The explanation Ignitionnet posted was (as usual) correct. It's down the VM's implementation of IWF filtering. It's not the first time it's happened, and doubtless won't be the last.
The first link confirms it:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=virgin+media+rapidshare+iwf
Which link? All I see is people guessing it was the IWF Filtering - Virgin haven't confirmed what the reason was
If IWF filtering was the cause then it wants turning off immediately - as its a complete and utter failure.
It has zero effect on those its targeted at since they can bypass it in seconds by using any one of the methods posted, so the only real effect it has is to periodically screw up everyone elses access.
Epic fail, remove.

Paul M, BenMcr,
I totally agree with both of you.
By the way it was announced on Sky news that the p2p namely Limewire has been forced to close, I never used it anyway but I suppose it will disappoint some.

Apologies, you're right. I misread the article.
Fileserve say they are being blocked form it but only free users as pay me users are just fine is this right it does not sound right to me.??
And wish they wouldn't do this its really stressing me so bad.
Think have to chose a different net provider and hope they are not so harsh.
I got my files using the https route. Hoe do this as tried but wouldn't work.
sharingmatrix also seems to be gone to is it??

Fileserve choose to block multiple connections from a single IP address, so will hit issues with the IWF filtering.
The IWF filtering is there to make child porn less accessible.
Moving to another ISP isn't likely to help you, all the larger ones have IWF filtering.
What are you using Fileserve for, people may be able to suggest alternatives?
Are people reporting problems connecting to rapidshare as free users?

Hi
Just registered as I've been having issues with sharingmatrix for the past month. You get a 10 minute clock which counts down to zero then resets back to 10 minutes. I tried to upload a font (31K) and that continually cycles, doesn't upload.
I've also had issues with certain files when downloading from newsgroups, the dl speed drops to about 1kbs.
Does anyone know of a workaround?

I just tried an upload test and it seemed to be fine.

I tried again and it cycles. Are there any tests I can run to see what the issue is?
Are you using any proxies?

Mostly text files and patches for av equipment. I have a usenet account so don't use these filesharing websites for other content.

No.
Here are a couple of hosting sites you could try as an alternative.

or

The issue isn't with hosting, I have my own website, the issue is downloading specifically from sharingmatrix.

Fair enough, but you appear to be having trouble with sharingmatrix period, so I suggested alternatives that may not give you problems downloading.

I am already aware of them, I'm trying to figure out why I am only having problems with sharingmatrix, whether this is due to VM or another issue.
I take it the files you are trying to download just happen to be hosted by sharingmatrix.
I think the best idea would be to call VM and see what they say about it, certainly won't do any harm.

It may just be a problem with their server and not anything to do with your connection, try them again later.
