    TopBucks sites down?

    just checked some of their sites i get
    "Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access / on this server.
    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

    eg. http://www.bangboat.com
    http://www.asianparade.com
    etc. (probably all)

    how long has this been going on ?

        Completely bypassed them .. I noticed when I pulled up the post on my other computer.

        I can tell you I check the sites many times per day, so I don't think it went on long.

        Ticket put into SysAdmin, I'll keep you posted.

          Can you tell me your user agent or IP address?

          If you could hit me up via email or messenger, I'd appreciate it.

              The issue is due to the user agent having "download" in it and we block that. It affects .016% of our surfers. We are discussing the removal of it.

                  From my SysAdmin on why this happened:

                  "OK, he's getting blocked because he has FireDownload installed in his firefox.
                  We have a block for any user agent that has "download" in it, case insensitive.
                  We block on average 150 per hour. Of those blocks, about half are due to "download" being in the user agent."
