ThaSauce Won't Load

[DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff]

Does anybody know what's up with Tha Sauce? It doesn't seem to be working on my computer. I thought it might be because I got Vista a while ago but it worked for first few weeks I got the new OS. Is the site under construction or currently down or am I just being shat on?

[The Unsung Plumber]

Loads for me.

Edit: Windows XP SP2

[DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff]

Therein lies my problem. I've tried it on a few other people's computers but mine is the only I know of that it won't load on. Does anybody else have Vista that can test it?

[suzumebachi]

I seriously doubt Vista has anything to do with it. You're also not the only one. The server is up and running just fine, but some people simply aren't able to access it. I dunno if it's some kind of weird DNS error, or if there's a backbone out somewhere, or what. But it seems to be pretty intermittent. Out of curiosity, what ISP are you on?

i had trouble a couple months ago connecting to TS, turns out my router's DNS was screwed up or soemthing, because after resetting it everything was fine

APRIL FOO-

[Black Mage]

Looks good on my end.

I only bring Vista into the equation because it's the most recent major change to my computer.

I've been using Comcast for about a year now and, considering how many other people use Comcast, I don't think that's the problem either.

Yea, I can confirm it definitely ain't Vista =P

[Pavos]

Works perfectly for me... strange stuff :S

Since I started this thread I've tried loading Tha Sauce on numerous occasions, I've reset my router, I've tried both Firefox (my default browser) and Internet Explorer, I've checked my firewall's settings and have discovered nothing out of the ordinary, I've even tried the simplest of things, ie: restarting my computer and switching to other accounts upon start up.

This has been going on for a few weeks now; I've only recently become fed up with it enough to ask other people for assistance.

Maybe your ISP blocked it (or a group of servers/IP addresses that it's included in)?

[Ramaniscence]

Now this is weird...I can access the site just fine, but if I try to access it via IP it doesn't work at all. And if I pin it it won't reply at all...

Tha Sauce Won't Load

That's what she said.

[DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff]

Comcast's Terms of Use says that they reserve the right to block any site they deem offensive but what the hell's so offensive about Tha Sauce? I'm sure most of you have Comcast and it works just fine, right?

Does anyone know how to check to see what site's have been blocked by your ISP?

[analoq]

i've had problems with the frontpage not loading now and then, Xerol looked into it and he thinks it was bots causing problems.

can you access any other parts of the site? for example, try these:

http://forums.thasauce.net

http://compo.thasauce.net

Now this is weird...I can access the site just fine, but if I try to access it via IP it doesn't work at all. And if I pin it it won't reply at all...

that's not an indication of anything wrong, many servers turn off ping response to avoid DOS attacks.

as well, it's virtual hosting so going by the IP address wouldn't take you to ThaSauce in anyway.

cheers.

I've tried similar things in the past. I've even googled thasauce and clicked on links to random threads. No pages will load at all.

This is such a bummer.

[suzumebachi]

My guess is somewhere between your computer and ThaSauce, a major line is down. I figured out that was the case last time I was having problems by checking http://www.internetpulse.net/. But several weeks? That's just... weird. You'd think they'd have fixed it by now.

[DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff]

A friend of mine told me to delete all my cookies. Just as a heads up, that didn't fix anything either. This sucks, I really like Tha Sauce.

Once again, does anyone know of a way to check what your ISP has blocked?

[analoq]

you'll have to contact your ISP about that. figuring out which sites are blocked would differ between ISPs.

go go gadget trouble-ticket !

[Xerol Oplan]

Did you try flushing your DNS cache or doing a tracert?

Pinging never works for some reason, I think the host we're on doesn't respond to pings or something.
