well, this thread should hopefully die now because it seems the proxy problems haveb een sorted, if anyone still experiences any problems, post here!

Most sites work fine, its just now and again that I get a few sites that like to resist..... eg. EBuyer.

Chrysalis · 24-09-2005, 13:29

heh they not sorted, someone probably grabbed a few url's of this forum that were repeatedbly mentioned and fixed it specifically for them. Their are new problems that surface daily, and maybe in a few weeks the specific problems that were fixed might resurface again.

I have a daily problem getting Intel.com, have to switch proxies to get there.
This is with the swansea proxies, nthell says i'm on cache 5, i usually switch to cache 7 to solve problem.
This has been occurring every day for some months now.
Also get intermittent connection problems with thisissouthwales.com, adobe.co.uk, www.digitv-forum.co.uk. all solved by switching proxies.

I allways thought it was just slow loading pages - but i downloaded this proxy tool for firefox - if a page loads slow, change it and its fine.

You're on cache 5 for ntlhell, the proxy you go through depends on the individual site due to load balancing.

Downloads is still "freezing".

I know about switching proxies and how to. Proxomitron can do it for all your local browsers in Windoze. Set browser HTTP proxy to localhost:8080 (default) after installing proxomitron. Set up ntl proxies in prox and use that to select proxy.

Thing is it's not something I want to do or should need to.

Yeah it freezes on nott 1.

I use proximitron so if I need to cycle I just enable proxy in browser which is set to proximitron and can cycle with that easily.
