Anyone else having trouble accessing Stardock's site?

August 24, 2008 2:01:57 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
As the title suggests, I can't seem to access Stardock's website. I keep getting an error message "Connection Interrupted".

Happens when I click the blue Stardock orb at the bottom of the page, when I tried a link in one of the posts from this forum, and even when type www.stardock.com into the address bar.

Tried with both Firefox and Opera.

No issues with any other site.

Anyone else having issues? Site down for maintenance or something?

Working fine here. If you open a console window (cmd from the Run box in the start menu) and enter the command tracert www.stardock.com, does it complete or does it stop partway?

So SD.com is fine? Checking...

Edit: I still can't access Stardock.com, but running the tracert command, the very first one times out.

I'm wondering if it has to do with my ISP Qwest...

It completes for me, Kryo, but I still get the Connection Interrupted message when I try to access the site.

tracert www.stardock.com
Unable to resolve target system name www.stardock.com.

Belay that. I get the same thing for forums.galciv2.com that clearly I can access so for me this is probably a proxy issue. But I haven't been able to get to stardock.com all day.

Update: cannot access stardock.com from FF3 or Opera. On a whim I fired up IE and tried and... got in. So, looks like possibly a browser issue?

Perhaps you just got lucky because I've been trying with IE7 all day and still no joy.

I'm getting a 502 Proxy Error if that's of any help.

Just tried again with IE7 and got in. Still can't with Opera and FF3. Definitely something weird going on though.

*edit* Just got in with both FF3 and Opera. W00t!

i've been getting timeouts as well as long delays in loading since the "update" to the forums, but it's not every time i click a new link or submit a reply, and it doesn't seem related to peak hours usage.

that's what you get for trying to run your server on a VIA Nano

I can't access my posts, nor reply in forums, using FF3...unless I use IE Tab, in which case it works fine.

Any particular URLs? I use FF3 exclusively with no issue.

We were disconnected from ICO last night around 9pm here; neither of us could get back on all night (tired till midnight). I just tried, and now I can.

Yeah, ICO's overnight downtime is unrelated.
