Can't download from plugins.ghisler.com

[Halvar]

Hi,

I'm having trouble downloading plugins from the plugin page (https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm).

I'm trying to download e.g. https://plugins.ghisler.com/fsplugins/wmdmplug.zip
and I'm getting: "The server at plugins.ghisler.com is taking too long to respond."

So it seems to be a problem with fileburst.com. Is there a mirror somewhere?

Works in your post

Perhaps the automatic url replacement did not survive the recent move of the website to a different server, but still works on the forum.

Try again. Works for me now.

Does not work here.
Tested with Firefox and MS Edge.
No other problems with any other pages.

Very strange.
1) The forum changes my post from my original urls on fileburst to urls on plugins.ghisler.com
2) The DNS name plugins.ghisler.com is unknown here. Ping says unknown host, Firefox says unknown host, and I tried that from two different clients in two different LANs at different addresses in my city (both Vodafone). But: Edge finds it and downloads the plugin.
3) The link from the TC plugins page (on fileburst.com) doesn't work in Edge either.

So what I take away is that fileburst.com is down (and has been down since January according to their HP) and plugins.ghisler.com isn't known on all DNS servers.

Google DNS says domain doesn't exist (= NXDOMAIN):
https://dns.google/query?name=plugins.ghisler.com&rr_type=A&ecs=&disable_dnssec=true

According to nslookup plugins.ghisler.com only resolves to an IPv6 address:

Code: Select all

C:\>nslookup plugins.ghisler.com 1.1.1.1
Server:  one.one.one.one
Address:  1.1.1.1

Name:    plugins.ghisler.com
Address:  2a01:4f8:1061:12fc::2

Those with functioning IPv6 connections probably can access this host, the others won't be able to.

PS: The Quad9 servers resond with NXDOMAIN.
PPS: It looks like sometimes the Quad9 servers give an IPv4 address and Cloudflare responds with NXDOMAIN. So this is definitely a DNS problem.

Now it works for me

Sorry, I had to temporarily move ghisler.com to the host of ghisler.ch because the hosting provider of ghisler.com (ramnode) lost connection to the internet in their New York region because of a cut fibre cable. The problem was fixed after a few hours and I redirected DNS back to the original server. Unfortunately plugins.ghisler.com was missing in the DNS entries of the temporary server. I have added it now for the next emergency.
