Since terrapin's site was hacked I'm not able to get to UBRS no more. But some days
ago I got access for some hours and it worked without any problems. After these few hours it's impossible again. Don't know what's goin' on there. http://www.forosdelweb.com/images/smilies/chillando.gif

Greetings,
SSB

Nothing has changed here. I really cannot know what's goin' on there - at your end of the cable...;)

Me, too - very mysterious...;)

SSB

Can you do a traceroute to UBRS?

Could you tell me what this is and how do it?

BTW: Upload to UBRS works without any probs.

SSB

UBRS has various servers - check wikipedia.org for traceroute...I really recommend to check this, too.

Thanks, mate - I'll do that...
__________________________

Did it already [I hope I got it right]:

- got many IPs for 'U-Boot.RealSimulation.com' and 'mpgtext.net' by tracerouting
- tried every IP
- result: no one works for me -> no access ["timeout - server doesn't answer"]

It's an enigma...http://pro.imagehost.biz/ims/pictes/209192.gif

Hi terrapin,

yesterday I tried the link that you posted 2 days ago in the 'new OFF face skin' thread.
What happened? I got access to that page!!! DL was impossible, though.

Today I tried that link again. Guess what happened?
Nothing - no access anymore.
Do you know the meaning of that?

I think someone is fooling me.

So long,
SSB

Can you traceroute to either 80.67.16.8 or 72.9.244.130? They are the host servers. They use aliasing to redirect the domain names to the respective servers so using http with those addresses won't resolve, but it's an important test. If you can traceroute to them then you have net connectivity to the servers and the problem lies higher in the protocol stack. If you can't the you have a more fundamental network problem. In fact, if you can't, please send me a copy of the traceroute via PM.

No - the error message quoted above came from a severe database error lasting today for about 18 hrs...:cry: ...but now all is fine again from my POV

Could you please remove the 'db' part of your original post ASAP ? It *could* be of use for the 'dark side'...thx!

Done.:up:

I've had a look at SSB's traceroutes and, whilst he can get to www.u-boot.realsimulation.com, it's definitely breaking down between gnax.net and planet.dnsprotect.com (which hosts mpgtext.net). What's odd is that my traceroutes also go through gnax.net to mpgtext.net. I'm at a loss to explain it.

My traceroute:

So now you're at your wits' end, too?:hmm:
Thanks mate, though.

That's the state now:

- I'm unable to get to UBRS home page
- with terrapin's link mentioned above I'm able to get directly to the SH3 download center
- but the most download links don't work for me, though, some few do.

Hey terrapin,

what's goin' on? Suddenly it works, got access to home page. Nothing changed on my side. Maybe a miracle...:o

SSB

Nothing changed with the server config/routing since Sept. 23rd...

Do you have good connections to the pope's chief? :D :up:

It's worse than to UBRS...http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoti.../happy/046.gif

:rotfl::rotfl:

I've just been informed SubSim has uploaded MultiSH3 1.0.1, and Martin updated the UBRS copy a while back, so everything should be sweet now.

Yes, it is - hope it remains

Thanks for help,:rock:
SSB

I've been requested to expand MultiSH3 to try to make the process of creating multiple installations of SH3 easier for less experienced users.

What I could do fairly quickly (real life permitting) is write a V2 to cover the following areas:

1. Modify the SH3 save folder as V1 does now;
2. Do the actual file copying;
3. Provide a wizard to guide users through steps 2 and 1.

Going further, such as trying to help users install or configure SH3 Commander especially, would be more problematic although I'm prepared to entertain suggestions.

I would welcome thoughts or discussion on a MultiSH3 V2 in this thread.
