...

Problem still exists here. All the same ones don't load.

I don't think ATS can do anything, I think this is related to the connection between ISPs, that's why it only happens (apparently) in Northern Europe.

I'll contact my own isp. See what they have to say.

I tried several free proxies and most did not showed the images.

This Canadian proxy worked.

Still the same problem here too.

I still don't understand why this particularly effects any new
uploaded images, and why the thumbnails are showing
but not the full images?

That Ubint is one nice proxy, its fast.

...

Whenever anyone has problems loading the site images and/or videos, the best way to help us resolve the problem is by do a trace route to: files.abovetopsecret.com

All our images, audio, and video files are hosting via a global "Content Delivery Network" and unless we can see the specific problems (via the trace route results), there's no way we can report the issue to our provider.

Thanks.




(Just post the results here, then alert me via U2U)

When everything is functioning normally, the traceroute isn't needed, only when you can't see images or play videos.

Also, the IP address of your DNS server is a huge help for our techs (when you cannot get to the images).

I'm still having the problem as described,
while using the following dns servers:

212.54.40.25
212.54.35.25

...

And if you try using a different DNS server, like OpenDNS?

I think it's worth the try.

ats started again to work for me

Same here, problem solved. I guess it was ATS isp.

Just as a curiosity, does the trace command show the same result?
