Cannot Access Megaupload

I've been trying to access Megaupload for the past few days now. I know they had a DNS issue at the end of November, but it seems to be working for people now.

I'm not sure if that's related, but I can't access it at all. No ping response either. I've tried using opendns and Google's dns servers as well.

Strangely I can access it on my phone.

Anyone else?

What ISP are you with? Try 'ipconfig /flushdns' too, within cmd

traceroute megaupload.com

Hmm, yeah that fails on the 7th node. Guess it's a problem somewhere down the line then.

Try connecting via a VPN, see if that goes through.

Could try changing the routing so you go to the US servers instead of via Europe. Adding the following to the host file will do that.

Code:

69.5.88.211  www.megaupload.com
69.5.88.211  uk.megaupload.com
69.5.88.211  www.megavideo.com
69.5.88.211  uk.megavideo.com

I had to do it awhile ago when stuff was getting lost somewhere in Germany I think.
