A-P is always down , or is it just me ?

[Chaxo]

I want to know ..

Is it just me ? or is anime-planet usually down ?

[Oehr]

in the last 3 weeks it wasnt down for me once. cant remember what happened before that time.

so yes, its you. though i have no idea why.
just try the usual things:
- start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig /flushdns
- get rid of internet explorer(if you are using it) and use firefox, opera or something better than ie: anything
- clear your browser cache (somewhere in the options, depends on the browser

Next time a-p appears to be down, run tracert to see where it times out.

[sothis]

yeah, the site has never been down for me either.

if you try all the options that oehr suggested (except the switch browser one which is ridiculous), do this for me:

type the window key + r
type cmd
type tracert anime-planet.com

right click, then left click at the top left of the text that's outputted, drag down to the bottom right corner, then let go and hit enter. then ctrl+v to paste the results into this thread.

what might be happening is your location is trying to access the site, and along the way there's a dns problem somewhere. if i know which step is dying for you i can try to see if my ISP can contact them (but this would be an external problem not related to the site or server)

Down for everyone or just me?

I never knew a site like that existed, pretty damn useful! But yeah, the site hasn't been down for me either, in fact I think only once since the re-launch.

I think a-p might have been down mometarily once or twice since the re-launch, but I can't think of any specific instances (and I know it was never for more than a few mins, if even that).

The most likely answer is what soth said about some problem between your isp & the server. As a temp fix, you could try getting to the site through a proxy, such as this: Anime Recommendations, Reviews, and More! Anime-Planet
You usually won't be able to log in properly via a proxy site like that, but you can at least view the site & see if the site is really down or not.

A more permanent potential solution (if you have admin access on your comp and/or router) would be to try using opendns, you can find more info on it here:

It's been down twice for no more than 2 hours each since I've been here.

Not too big of a deal.
