100M : Rapigator website

[ultimate]

I am having time out problems when I tried to connect to Rapidgator.net, I can access the site using Zenmate or with BT but not with Virgin. Any one else experiencing this problem?

[SnoopZ]

Loads fine here on my Virgin account.

[ultimate]

Thanks. It is loading for me now.

I hate to say access to Rapidgator is dead again and only at Virgin, I can access it via Zenmate and my BT connection. There is something wrong somewhere.

Did a traceroute results as follows:

On a similar theme is anyone on Virgin able to connect to arstechnica.com

Unable to connect using my home broadband for the past few weeks and it is a major US tech website but loads just fine on other ISPs.

No problem here in Cardiff area.

My tracert also times out after the same point so that could be routers configured not to respond to pings which is not unusual.

Not strictly true - that specific issue is caused by routers configured to not generate ICMP time exceeded messages, not necessarily anything to do with pings. Traceroutes never "ping" any "routers" anyway.

Access to Rapidgator.net is dead again today at 10:07am. Did a tracetcp and the result are as follows:

Still up when I checked @10.19

[ultimate]

I can access the site with my BT line too, and also Virgin with Zenmate, just not Virgin on its own.

[pip08456]

I actually used my neighbours VM connection to check.

[ultimate]

Access now restored. Rapidgator confirmed that there were not blocking my IP address, and yet when I used another IP Address by swapping the router, I can get through. So the cause remains a mystery.
