Some may recall that I posted here a while ago about not being able to access a certain SR competitor's website. I could ping and tracert to it no problem, but couldn't access it through any browser.

The same also happened with the Sky One website for a period of about 2 months.

In both cases, the problem pretty much resolved itself - I've no idea how, because I didn't change a thing... I just tried it one day and it worked.

I now have two other sites which I could access several months ago, but can't now.

One is http://www.kephyr.com - home of Bazooka Spyware Scanner. I've uninstalled that software because I simply can't update the definitions database. This has been the case for about 14 months now.

The other site, as mentioned in another thread, is http://www.freshdevices.com - which I tried tonight for the first time in about a year.

I can ping and tracert both sites, but simply cannot access them in any of 4 browsers - IE, Netscape, Firefox and Opera.

I know it's not down to any of my settings, simply because I've accessed them before and have not made any configuration changes.

I'd say it's down to NTL, but others here are also on NTL and when I've asked previously, they've had no problems accessing these sites. It's really bloody frustrating.

I also have another issue which I'll be contacting NTL about later this week - namely that any mail sent from my own domain to any ntlworld.com address gets retried a number of times, then rejected outright. It doesn't appear to be their spam filters, as I've disabled them on my own NTL mail account and messages are still rejected.

Nope, doesn't work.

I can see the rough cached image, but all the links for files go straight to kephyr.com/freshdevices.com

Same with the download sites for freshdiagnose.

I've got the Bazooka install file but can't update.

Also some of the downloads you're after might be found on mirror sites and I know there's update files for various security programs at download.com .

For sites that you just want to browse I think search engines like Google take pictures of them and store them.

There's usually a link to these saved copies when you look for the original with a search engine like Google.

I think it might be 'cache' or 'cached'.

Edit: Here's the cached version of kephyr.com from yahoo [URL]http://216.109.124.98/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&p=kephyr&u=www.kephyr.com/&w=kephyr&d=PIiSomFULgyE&icp=1&.intl=uk[/URL]

Does that work?
