Title: Silk Road never loads
Post by: sativo on November 02, 2012, 07:26 pm
I have tried countless times for the past 4-5 days to connect to the silk road and it always times out.

I restart my tor constantly, never works.

It works maybe once a day for about 5 mins then everything times out again.

Forums, other websites work fine and load fast enough.

Anyone else have this problem?
Its very frustrating, trying every 10 mins non stop I have connected once all day and it stopped working after I clicked a vendors page.

I think it's maintenance. We have indications that SR is updating its servers. It will probably come back bigger and better.

No, that would be a tad misleading. We've been here for about 5 months, and we've never seen this level of connectivity problems, no matter the level of growth.

I have had the same problem, I had SR bookmarked and have been clicking on that to try and get in with the same problems, it worked instantly when I went to Wikipedia and the SR page and clicked on the addy there. Hope it works for you

if you add index.php to the end of the url, so that it is http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php , it will work for you. if that doesn't work, try changing your identity in tor.
