Trouble with pprune

[captainsmiffy]

Anybody else been experiencing long-term problems here on prune? Lots of us in the middle east certainly are having their fair share of troubles. Some threads just open fine but others seem to hang and then you get a network error message coming up. Been going on for weeks now. Where does the problem lie? There is a thread ref this on the middle east forum but, guess what, for me it hangs.....!!

Would appreciate help here.

I was in ME until yesterday, for 2 weeks, and had problems on one network I was using but not on another. It wasn't the site being blocked, as many were, but just hanging and/or getting a redirect or network error message as stated below.

Currently in UK and having no problem, so there is definitely something going on.

All OK here in Australia.

AFAIK Prune is UK based but I don't know whether their servers are, or if they have different ones around the world that sync up. Mod care to embellish?

Quite a few ME countries filter their net, and you could just have a flaky connection. Have you tried going somewhere else in the country / city concerned?

S'pect someone/thing has chopped the cables in the Med again reducing bandwidth.

PPRuNe servers are in LA, USA. Site owned and operated by US company.

Lots of reasons why websites might be iffy in the ME right now. Physical problems and censorship.
