Title: hmm silkroad not woring for anyone else?
Post by: imaslut on July 03, 2012, 01:31 pm
dont have a clue why, every other site i try and go on works fine

but today everytime i try and load the sr homepage, its take ages to load and eventually comes up with a message saying
                                       "problem loading page"
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.silkroadvb5piz3r.onion     
  The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
  If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
  If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."

any of you lovely poeple got some i.t advice for me?
goodvibes {:~

Yeah, I've been connected since yesterday too.  I wonder if they have a problem with users staying connected to the site for long periods of time.  It took me SO long to get the whole TorBrowser things up and running, so I'm damn well not shutting it down (I'm sure I didn't configure it right, because if I close it, it "disappears" and I have to dig through my files to find it, and MAYBE it will open up).  Sure hope I can check my order statuses soon.  Sheesh!

If you do stay connected tho make sure you change identity regularly. In some cases it helps with the problem loading page thing too

I'm having the same problem, about 24hrs now,tried all of the above but no joy. Iv also tried linking directly through vendor pages but it still times out.......
Iv had a look on the tech page and it appears that mostly mac users are experiencing this, anybody have any clue as to what could be going on or another method??

Please explain what you mean with 'change your identities regularly'?  Im a noob as far as the whole tor thing goes even tho I've  been using this site for a year,i just use orbot and orweb or similar.
Ive been trying to log into my account but just getting a blank screen,password works etc but blank screen apart from SILK ROAD ANONYMOUS MARKET at the top. No pictures,writting or account info,just deposited 40 coins as well but cant use them.

Some mod should sticky a post titled something like "I'm an idiot who can't get on SR..."
And then in the post you detail how they should use http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home instead of http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/ if they can't get on, and how to 'Use a New Identity,' since people seem to forget how to click a button these days, etc etc.
Just saying, I see one of these posts every day "OMG DOES SILF RAOD NOT WURK 4 ANYONE ELSE?!?"

Any other ideas bones? I've tried  all that and the usual logging off etc and even came back two days later and still nothing. Now I have an order that has now been automatically finalised and I have not received, and looks like I won't be anytime soon. So fkn frustrating everytime  I try to log on there is always something new and fucked up with silk road preventing me.

not sure bones is really in the mindset to be helpful
try use the link he posted http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home
if not, open a new tab, click use new identity on the control panel. then use that link above. fingers crossed for ya pal
if your still having problems, close the tor browser. click stop tor. then re-open tor browser and go straight to silk road homepage.
if your still having problems, go to your internet settings and extend the page loading time if you can, sometimes tor can run too slow and actions time out
all the best and goodvibes king {:~

Recently I couldn't connect to SR for 4-5 days  :-\
Then someone on the forums (thanks again anonaddict!) said that if the time on your system is wrong, that could prevent you to access some .onion sites. Turns out, that was my problem. Hope it helps, good luck

Another suggestion - are you using any ad blocking software?  I was having trouble connecting to SR a few weeks ago, and it was the ad blocking software that I use (AdMuncher) that was the culprit.  Their ad filters suddenly started blocking Tor sites one day.   Disabling the app while I use Tor solved the problem.

Thanks for the advice guys. It started working again today, still not sure why it keeps doing that but the time loading sounds very feasible I'll have a look, cheers.
