It is still strange though, that the referrer would onyl work *through* the proxy and not w/o, while it is exactly the opposite for any other site...

Bâshrat the Sneaky: What kind of DL manager blocker are you using exactly?
Is that anything special, proprietary or just some basic hosting setting?

I'm blocking all known download managers through a .htaccess file.

Is it STILL not working?

I've removed all banned IP's. If it doesn't work now, then you MUST be either blocking referers or using download managers.

But now I have to rebuild my entire blacklist... sigh

Ok, for any of you follow T-Online users, try the following proxy settings:

www-proxy.t-online.de:80
ftp-proxy.t-online.de:80

The latter is not needed I guess, but if you want to use the proxy, at least take the right one

Oh, and as a sidenote, using that proxy already gave me a couple of referrer errors on other pages.
This again shows that the problem lies only in conjuction with driverpacks.net
Every other side does NOT like proxies, I guess.

[Posting a new thread because I want to see whether the IP changed]

Lo and behold, using the proxy it seems to be working!
Still doesn't like my DL manager (as expected) but plain ole IE6 gets the goods!

EDIT: As expected, it's showing a different IP (no, I didn't log out or anything).

Either it's indeed some referrer stuff or it must have to do with the IP...

All I know is that it had been working fine for over a year and only started when you did some measures to counter DL managers to reduce workload from your host.

This is really the only page giving me those problems and since I can dl all the other packs just fine (I assume they are on the same host, are they), I doubt it's my ISP.

I am DLing a lot of stuff, including many sites that do use HTTP referrers (which will render my DL manager - GetRight - useless unless I enable special referrer options) and I have never had any problems.

So, I doubt it's a general problem with the ISP.
In any case, I can give them a call on Monday to be absolutely sure it's not their problem, however, it would only affect your site, which makes it even more strange.

Since I have not got around to it I will try their proxy right now, maybe that changes anything...

T-Online isn't blocked. You're all in the 84.* range, which isn't blocked. Some subranges are blocked, but not yours (yours are: 84.131.*, 84.132.* and 84.177.*).

Helmi, if you want you can see the .htaccess file and see for yourself that it *should* work just fine. I'll talk with RogueSpear to try and find the cause.

This is a ridiculous question, but could it be possible that T-Online is blocking HTTP referers? That's the only thing I can think of personally.

Ok, I just tried it from my Vista RC2 installation, just to make sure it isn't some misconfiguration with XP (you never know...).
Doesn't work either.
May try later with a Linux Live CD but I have little hope.

Bâshrat the Sneaky, please try to get a workaround for us T-Online users (which is, btw, the largest ISP of Germany).

For the time being, I will just dl the testing DriverPacks (just finished getting the latest ones) and well, start testing on them
It's merely a minor inconvenience for me since I'd get the testing DriverPacks anyway, but I can see how big a trouble this must be for the average user!

However, I'm not using their proxy or anything.
Maybe I should and try if that works, huh?
