Hi,
recently a few people told me that they weren’t able to access http://www.roxbytes.com and they all came from South America. If you are from a South American country, could you have a look at the URL above and tell me if it works without problems?
Could you also try to access these sites:
http://roxbytes.atw.hu (it might not work neither if you can’t use http://www.roxbytes.com )
Please also try to open these sites:
http://pietro.webdomain.hu/roxbytes/
and
http://pietro.mnws.hu/roxbytes/
On the last two URLs there’s just a page with the word “Test.” on them. Please tell me if you can access any of these pages and let me know which of them loads faster for you. If they work for everyone, I’ll move the pages from the current server to one of these.
Of course, people from other parts of the world can also try it so I can see which is the best place to host the html files.
Thanks,
Pietro

I’m from Brazil (South America).
I can tell you that http://www.roxbytes.com and http://roxbytes.atw.hu links don’t work.
http://pietro.webdomain.hu/roxbytes/ and http://pietro.mnws.hu/roxbytes/ works, but the first one is slower to open ( as @harriej said).

I’m in Australia and I can’t access roxbytes. The 2nd link didn’t work either.
http://www.roxbytes.com/ appears in the tab but nothing opens. Thats on FF & IE6. I’m on Dial Up.
I’ve also tried it at amtes with 1.5mb ADSL and it didn’t work either.
The two test files did work
Cheers
Dave

The ATW’s nameserver is not correctly configured. :(
If you try to access any subdomains under the ATW.hu your ISP can’t use the primary nameserver (ns1.atw.hu). Probably that’s why people from far countries are unable to access Roxbytes.
(The secondary(?) nameserver (ns5.atw.hu) responses only, but secondaries aren’t indexed everywhere.)
edit:
The NIC’s domi gave the following results:
M-PNAM -I- [atw.hu] primary NS name: ns1.atw.hu
M-PADD -I- [atw.hu] primary NS addr: 195.228.157.230
M-PGET -I- [atw.hu] getting domain from NS ns1.atw.hu...
M-PRZO -W- [atw.hu] cannot download domain from primary ns1.atw.hu
M-RERR -W- [atw.hu] SOA parameters don’t comply with RIPE

Hi, I´m from Brazil and I can´t access Roxbytes... please, do something... I miss this site as hell !!

Try it now: I’ve removed everything from atw.hu and copied all the html and the downloads to another server - the one you’ve found the faster. The main URL of the site didn’t change, make sure you ALWAYS use http://roxbytes.com to get there, since similar problems might occur from time to time. If you use the URL above, you’ll always get to the actual and up-to-date site.

Pietro,
I am from the Netherlands (not South America).
I could open all 3 webpages.
However, I noticed that http://pietro.webdomain.hu/roxbytes/
took the most time to open.
Maybe this info helps you.
