Has www.aminet.net Been Hijacked?

@ Billsey

Ya , some companys make it so fun when trying to deal with them , its like they think if they make it hard enough most people won't even bother.

I'd say don't give up just yet and try a bit more before you give up in desperation. Then if you do get some kind of explaination at least you'll know whats up with it.

Chow fer now T.  :-)

It works fine from here too - on Safari 1.0

[lorddef]

Maybe the DNS lookup table in safari has been modified so aminet.net goes to aminet.org?

Either that or its your ISP being dumb.

[lempkee]

yeah happens to me alot, i forget the address

amiga.net  , annlu.org  ,aminet.com etc...


ohwell i hope you get it sorted soon..

glad i am on ibrowse 2.3 as that popup link was tempting so i checked it out..got a you need ie or netscape bøa bla to view this site...so lol

cheers

aminet.net works fine for me (on BT Internet).

Hmm, no pop-ups here on aminet.org, maybe it's because of this? :-)

The reason for the 'redirection' might be a timeout in the lookup, then browser does the 'name guessing' job (.com, .net, .org) and ends up at aminet.org?  The bad name resolution then gets cached?

[Billsey]

You know, that might have something to do with it. Danamania, what type of account do you have---56k, 28.8k, or broadband? I'm on a dialup that is supposed to support 56k, but that doesn't ever connect beyond 33.6k.

For now, I'm just gonna go to us.aminet.net, as that one doesn't redirect on me.

[Billsey]

Just checked the source code at www.aminet.net from work. There's nothing there that would do it; no redirect at all, and the title indicates that typing in "us." instead of "www." just brings you quicker to the same place.

We're getting it narrowed down, though. :-)

I get forwarded to here.

Incredible! An Amiga-oriented site (aminet.org) that with IB2.3 without spoofing requires:

"This site is working only under IE 4 and higher and Netscape 4 and higher.
Please update your browser"

With spoofing ON, it redirect to . ..DomainSPA.org page.

Checking user agent is such a retarded way of checking the capabilities of a browser. Sites that check user agent should be banned from the internet until they learn how to code.

@ KennyR

While I agree with your first statement, you do seem to love the idea of banning everyone left right and centre

That's why we call him a NAZI.
"I don't like guns, ban them!"
"I don't like marriage, ban it!"
"I don't like capitalism, ban it!!"
"I don't like rich people, ban them!"
"I don't like religion XY&Z, ban them all."
"I don't like jews, ban them!"

That is his main philosophy. "Ban what I don't like", "Fund what I do like out of tax payer money"

[KennyR]

And people who don't want stuff banned should be banned too. :-P

[KennyR]

Huh ima, you're far closer to a Nazi than I am, Mr. Greed is Good.

[odin]

Nothing to see here folks, move along and don't feed the trolls. Like I am doing now.... :-o

Good idea :-)

Or I could just gag the trolls instead... locking thread now.

Dear GOD!

@ imaboringperson

Why the heck did you have to go and say that?  This isn't comp.sys.amiga.* you know...

@ KennyR

You could have tried not rising to it...
