Cross Referenced to other VEF Threads...
It's an ISP issue. Maybe a Tutorial on TOR would help... especially me |

Unless I'm missing something really drastic there's not much to know about tor. Download, install, add on an adblock of your choice and get busy. Buttsie knows a thousand times more than I ever will about tech stuff but that's all I did and it seems ok.

This is nothing to do with ISP's, it appears Zippyshare is blocking UK visitors, see here for story:

Technically its still ISP related
All blocks on either side look for your IP address
past issues with it - ie filesonic - were only ever overcome by using a VPN If you use a service that re-routs you through their servers outside the UK you wont be blocked presumably You can test your anonymity with a couple of links on this page after the VPN reviews and what service not to use Best Free Anonymous Surfing Services Last updated 3/2017 https://www.techsupportalert.com/bes...ng-service.htm |

Just grabbed a file from loops/old stuff on Zippy, using TOR.
You may have to try a few "Get a new tor circuit for this site" refreshes to get initial access, then fiddle with enabling various No script blocks, but got it at max speed in the end. |

Is zippyshare blocked in germany now as well? i tried it with a german vpn address and got the same message as i would without it. Tried it again with a dutch one and it worked fine.
Definitely blocked in Germany one of my friends there just got back to me saying he's got the 403 message now but was able to download from there last week so it is a new development. Last edited by m100; April 26th, 2019 at 08:02 AM.. Reason: further info |

Zippyshare Is Going Out Of Business On March 31
.
. My apologies if this has already been posted. I did a search and couldn't find anything. In any case ... . It appears Zippyshare is going out of business and the website will shut down at the end of March. This notice is posted on their blog: . . Information about the closure of the project March 19, 2023 . Hey Folks, . We’ve decided that we’re shutting down the project at the end of the month. Please make backups of your important files, you have about two weeks to do so. Until then, the site will run without any changes. . There are several reasons for the closure: . – Since 2006 we have been on the market in an unchanged form, that is, as ad financed/free file hosting. However, you have been visiting in less and less over the years, as the arguably very simple formula of the services we offer is slowly running out of steam. I guess all the competing file storage service companies on the market look better, offer better performance and more features. No one needs a dinosaur like us anymore. . – All sorts of adblockers, whether built into the browser, as add-ons, or in the form of DNS services. Sure, we all use them, but they take away any control the site owner has over the site. Eventually we get to the point where a vicious cycle begins, in order to pay for the server infrastructure you are forced to place more and more ads, then users fire up more and more adblockers and we get to a point like today. . – Rising electricity prices. Over the past year, electricity prices have gone up 2.5 times, which, with a large number of servers, gives a significant increase in costs that we have no way to balance. . There are still a bunch of smaller reasons, but we could write a book on this, and probably no one would want to read it. . To sum it up, we can no longer afford to maintain the site. . You can send us any comments to (we’ll read them all, we’ll probably respond to just a few): support@**********.com . Thanks for being with us over the years. . See you in the depths of the Internet. o7 . . --------------- . Fast, Free and Anonymous -- I should've known it was too good to last. Rest In Peace, Zippyshare. . .

Farewell Zippyshare! Thanks for the superfast large file downloads!
This is a first for me in my long history of downloading. In the past it was "what happened to Rapidshare???" "Where the hell is Filesonic?" "The end of free downloading!" To be given such a heads up with a date certain. |
