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?

@ KennyR

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

Nothing to see here folks, move along and don't feed the trolls.


Good idea :-)

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

Dear GOD!

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...
