I assume that I'm in a range of blocked IP addresses: does it work for
anyone else in the UK? (Does anyone have a mirror?)
Confirmed that it fails for me in the UK too, just sits there and
eventually times out. But it loads up fine via a US VPN. (Or at
least that particular link does.) Why block anybody? Not even a
redirect to an explanation.
I can't get to it from home, but I can from york.ac.uk
I wonder if it's an unofficial server with restriction to academic
sites? At York, we often put restrictions in place on web servers other
than the official one, as a matter of curse.
For what it's worth, I had no problem accessing it from my home here in
the USA with RoadRunner as my ISP, so it's apparently not an academic
restriction.
