firstly, I do not wish to break any rules of this forum, so I am not making specific references towards what has catalized my original post and concern here ... I do wish to mention a certain website that was taken offline last year but apparently now back online again simply will not load up here in the Land Down Under ... I've been researching what little information I can find around The Google about whether this website-of-mention is indeed alive & active, let alone if there are any possible regional restrictions in place etc ... I recently conrfirmed that someone else from (let's say) Europe says they can load said website okay in their area, of which I've heard our U.S. cousins are allegedly getting through okay as well.

so, this begs the question ... does anyone know what may be occurring that prevents me (from Australia) from accessing said weblink and/or if there is any other viable sources of fan-edits ? some hints have abound that virus/malware checkers or firewalls are the problem ... I run AdBlockPlus as a religion, which I have not yet disabled, but seriously doubt would be the reason for this problem.

any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
