Archive: Accessing SF from China


Could you attach the file
I am a Chinese.
I cannot visit sourceforge.net for many days in my country,
and I wonder the new version very much.


Hotice send me an e-mail and I will set you up with a different download location. You might want to contact your ISP about this.

Welcome back Justin! :D


Contacting his ISP isn't going to help really... :)
China's "Great Firewall" blocks SourceForge among other sites, see here for further info. on this.

Funny, it blocks SourceForge but it doesn't block stileproject.com. :D


hotice might wanna try Peek-A-Booty

You can use a foreign proxy, then you can reach everywhere :P

it's useless, I connect to internet through a proxy server in the LAN.
could you move to another site such as codeproject.com

Codeproject doesn't provide in services (such as cvs, bug tracker). There's not really much that can be done other than providing an alternate location. If you ever want the latest version, just drop me a note and I can send it to you.

I split this discussion from the main thread so people can find it more easily.


Hi,
I sent a PM to hotice that I'll set up a script to reache SF.
I'm waiting for his answer.

If it works, I'll perhaps post the URL here.

hotice - this may not be relevant in this case but just in case you don't know ... some sites block ICMP packets (which is what ping uses) but their web sites are still fully functional so ping is not necessarily a good indicator to use.
