box.net access issues (possible solution found)

Box space is still not working, its been down for days. Great work btw.

OK UPDATE:

Check your firewall settings. I use Zone Alarm and Firefox 3.

I hit on the idea of using IE 8 which is also on my machine. I tried to access Box.net and ZA slammed down like an anvil. Alert alert Box.net is know to distribute spyware, rape your daughters and eat your dog... etc.

Would you like to continue to use Box.net.

Yes.

Went back to Firefox. Voila, it works!!!!

Try it.

Box is fine from here. Maybe your ISP blocking it?

Shouldnt do. Im on an unlimited service no restrictions.

Ive double checked my firewalls, nothing wrong.

Did a full cookie delete same again, Box isnt there and keeps coming back as broken.

This is annoying this means 2/3rds of the oxps i want to use i cant get hold of. Is there another hosting alternative?

I can download from box okay... it's just very, very slow. Has been for a while.

Funny.
I had no probs whatsoever downloading from Box...

Only thing is that the Ring Racer d/l-link goes to Sign Up / Registration -page, not to the download.

Others work just fine.

Both ability to download from Box and download speed seem to be unaffected for me..

It's down for me too. Firefox reports "Problem loading page - The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

I'm using Firefox too with no probs - on a Mac though if that makes a difference.

I had to enable scripts for box (in noscript) and allow its cookies.

Box.net discussions moved out of Thargoid's thread.

It’s puzzling me… today I was able to upload to box faster than I could download. I’ve tried all the firefox tweaks that come to mind, even tried dragging IE (horrible) out of the cupboard… all to no avail. But at least I can download… very, very slowly. <scratches head>

Box.net can be weird. My rig runs Ubuntu Karmic and I use Firestarter (firewall) and am hiding behind a router. I use Opera as my main browser. It'll happily download from box but won't upload. Firefox (on the same computer) uploads quite happily. I haven't tried a download using Firefox, but would expect it to be OK.
