I frequently download unreleased bands and publc releases of linux distros from suprnova.org. Recently, however, I have been unable to connect to the page directly. Usually I just see the java ad and the main page errors out.
You can prove to yourself that it is not your computer’s fault by using a proxy server or a proxy service Like Proxy Solution:
Next, you can see where you error occurs by doing the following command from a dos command box:
tracert suprnova.org
The following results suggest that this is not the fault of the user’s computer. Instead the route is getting lost upstream:

You can confirm this by doing a traceroute from another computer on the web somewhere. Here’s the results from http://www.net.princeton.edu/traceroute.html
tracing path from www.net.princeton.edu to 69.50.170.99 …

10 69.50.170.99 (69.50.170.99) 84.559 ms 87.131 ms 97.180 ms
So as you can see, our path cannot get to suprnova’s ip address of 69.50.170.99 while other computers on the internet can.
What can you do? Obviously, somebody upstream has decided to block suprnova to a large part of the world. I don’t know if it is the ISP or who… but somebody is blocking it.
For now, the only work around is to use a proxy. Some good proxy sites are the following:
