Disciple
Guys need ur help here.when i try to access rapidshare this is the error message i get
"
Cannot download the file because of timeout
Details:
Cannot connect to rapidshare.com:80
"

My q is
1)has the isp ie idea blocked this site?.
2)is it the problem with rapidshare servers.(unlikely).Do any of u guys face this problem ?.
3)If the isp has blocked the site how to bypass it.Will calling them up and telling them to unblock work? or is it a temp problem bcos of network congestion?.

ur replies are solicited.

thanks
john

how come?.
I am a priemium user.can u please explain?

I am not saying they have banned it, but it could be a reason.... Ask someone with the same isp as yours if its opening at their end, only way to know if the isp has blocked it or if there is a prob in ur computer
 
thanks tejo.
basically my info is as follows.

General Information
Hostname: 115.69.159.xxx
ISP: Idea Cellular Limited
Organization: Idea Cellular Limited
Proxy: Suspected network sharing device.
Type: Cable/DSL

So if any guys on idea are facing these problems please do share.

thanks.

Try going to some free online proxy site like this and opening rapidshare.com, if it opens then the case may be ur isp has blocked rapidshare or vice versa, if it does not open there too then a prob in your computer maybe.

Yes i have done that.It opens thro proxy.So either its been blocked by idea or there is some problem with their network.

tried contacting the network admins of idea but since today is a sunday no one is there.thot networking was a 24/7 job.What an idea to keep sunday off.

thanks tejo.
 
I had some issues similar to this lately. At times the site would fail to load & my downloads would just pop up with error. There was no chance of banning my IP as it is dynamic. I had to wait for sometime & after a router reboot it would be back up again. Had been going on randomly since the underwater cable cut incident. I just renewed my premium a/c again so will keep it under observation. It's definitely nothing from Rapidshare's side. That I can bet on.
 
guys talked with idea sysadmin.He says that it is not a problem from his side.i believe him.I ran a tracecert and this is the result.

Thanks scarezebra.The issue is not for few hours but since the time i bought this netsetter.Even though i had a very bad time with idea guys i again went for it thinking of rapidshare downloads even at the speed of 10-15kBps.Its two days since I bought it.If i cannot use rapidshare might as well return it.
