There was a widespread issue the other day where people couldn't access SR, but it worked when they used a link directly to a vendor page so try http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/467ed442f4/230 maybe

I am in US and have that issue from time to time but restarting tor usually clears it up for me. Are you using tor browser bundle or just tor and firefox with tor button. Linux Windows, or OSX???
Title: Re: Is the site down?
Post by: NACKWOLFE on June 30, 2012, 04:27 pm
OSX and the tor browser.
Have restarted many times but still not working but as a test the armory is fine...
any help would be appreciated

Quick update, I ran SR on another computer and it worked no issues. Are you guys having a problem running a mac? My original error occurred on a mac

I have a triple boot PC with os x, windows 7, and linux. I don't have a problem getting here on any of the operating systems. In OS X I compiles tor from source and then install tor button in firefox. I also created a start up script to run my bitcoin miner and added tor to it so tor will start when I log into the computer.

I'm running it on a mac, will give it a go on a PC connected and see if this help.
Every other onion site works so strange that it's just SR, maybe something to do with proxy settings??
thanks

Same here, I haven't been able to access in the last day or so. I'm using a mac, I don't really have  a pc handy that I can try, please keep the thread updated thanks!

Post by: roughrida420 on July 02, 2012, 09:48 am
i definitely would not log in through that site. if it doesnt have the captcha im pretty sure its not right
Title: Re: Is the site down?
Post by: NACKWOLFE on July 02, 2012, 05:37 pm
Just an update.
I've logged in on a PC on the same network connection with no issues...so it looks as if it's a mac specific prob getting into the site.

Post by: Breaking Bad on July 02, 2012, 09:28 pm
It's not, I am using Windows 7 and tried restarting tor but still can not connect... I was on this morning, but since after work, nothing.

EDIT: Nevermind, tried restarting again and it seems to be working now.

This may be a stupid question but does your system have the correct time? That may cause a problem connecting to some .onion sites.
Title: Re: Is the site down?
Post by: StrawCat on July 04, 2012, 01:59 pm
Update from me, I'm in my *fourth* day without access from my mac, luckily I found my roommate's old PC and I can connect with that (at least I could finalize my order  and not leave the vendor waiting for god knows how long).
So yeah, it definitely seems to be a mac problem...

You sir are a genius and if I could give karma I would give you a couple of bags full.
The clock on my system was about 10 min fast,  I fixed it after reading your post and now I can access again! It's a  miracle! Thank you  ;D

Has got me back on the site.  thanks for that, lifesaver!

as a side note it was still working on the PC which was also slightly out. Perhaps macs are more sensitive?
cheers
