Megaupload

Ditto the above.

My wife is getting really upset because she cannot get the ebooks she is desperate for

I'm also having problems connecting to megaupload using sky broadband

My browser won't connect to the server most of the time, and when it does - it normally takes a minute to load.

i can confirm.....

megaupload is downloading as a free user with good speeds using JDownloader

just tryed it like 2 mins ago....

i dont use MU as there is hardly much stuff available......

using -
firefox ver 6.1 + flashgot add on + Jdownloader


but....
A lot of the files i went to with MU get either were not available or, i got the 2 min countdown then back to another 2 min countdown ect....

I have just come to use MU, I use it now and again to download the odd film (not porn), and now I cannot use it. I am a fully paid up member too, just last week I paid for my yearly subscription to MU.
Is it blocked for good or what? It is a right royal pain in the backside. This is taking things too far with SKY, I may just leave them for one of the little ISP out there.

This is the message I get when trying to access MU....

The requested URL could not be retrieved

You know Im all for the eradication of kiddie pron from the web and the prosecution of those that deal and traffic in it.

But to block an ENTIRE COUNTRY for the misdeeds of a few is f****** retarded to the extreme. Its the take a sledgehammer to crack a nut scenario all over again. Why dont they just motion MU to remove the content, then get the IPs of those uploading it so they can bang them in court? They could also very easily have the web sites hosting said links taken down.

Absolutely unbelievable. Whotf are these people who have so much power they can turn a countries access off just like that? What makes me even more angry is that the main profiteers in all this are the media mafia themselves aka the copyrighted content providers.

Don't work for me either, but tbh if it is because of the reasons you state, so be it.

[Isitme]

Do what the kiddie porn downloaders will be doing and use something like Hotspot shield

[NewsreadeR]

It's working for me now.

I am not able to load it yet using http://www.megaupload.com/ but I am not convinced this is a IWF problem. It is a DNS Server problem as stated in the error message. My reason for saying this is that if you try entering the URL, MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service you will find that you get through.

The actual URL is 174.140.154.22
