Fine here. First I'd check your Hosts file.

check my hosts file ???
where is that file and what should i do with it
i use winXP pro sp2


*edit*
is it this file ?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
the only thing in it is : 127.0.0.1 localhost
what is the ip of rarewares ?

Works fine here too.

You tried every single website in existence?

On a more serieus note, it works fine for me. And since it seems to work fine for so many people around the world, I don't think there is anything wrong with the server. It's probably due to some other problem on your/your ISP's end.

Name: rarewares.org
Address: 66.225.254.3

>nslookup 66.225.254.3

No idea, dude. Works perfectly here :/

BTW, next time you have issues with RareWares, you can e-mail me. I don't visit the off-topic forum very often, so the report can go unnoticed for days.

i found a way to go to rarewares : (using translation web service)
but i can't see the graphics
and i can't download except for files that are there : http://pessoal.onda.com.br/rjamorim

Well, dude, as you can see, it works for everyone except you. Maybe you should contact your ISP about this issue...?

Yesterday my ISP told me it was working for them, did they not know what the problem was.

Well, it's completely out of my hands...

I suggest you try a proxy, as a last measure.

i upgraded my internet connection from medium speed (128 kb)
to high speed (3 mb) with the same isp (sympatico)

the only solution i found is to change my ip (disconnect and reconnect 2 or 3 times)

is someone or something blocking some ip address ?

I don't know what the deal is with sympatico, most notably sympatico.ca because in the past before I blocked them in Hosts, Firewall, Proxy, etc., its IP's were constantly showing up in my firewall logs, trying to do who knows what. Perhaps it's blocked not by RW but on the way to RW. The reason I would even make such a statement is because someone, or some auto blocking, auto rule setting firewall may have noticed similiar behaviour I once noticed.

Not me, for sure. I don't even know what your IP is :B
