    The HMV web site has been down all day yesterday and today, at least for me anyway. They must be losing thousands, on probably the 2 busiest buying days of the week. I suppose they can afford it, but it seems a long time to be unavailable. :confused:

    Maybe it's just you.

    That's strange HMV is accessible through the proxy www.anonymouse.org, but not directly from my browser using www.hmv.com. I wonder why that is? I've even assigned myself a new IP address by restarting my router, still unavailable. I can access every other web site as normal. Maybe they're having huge demand and blocking selected foreign IP address ranges? I get the message: Failed to Connect:Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at hmv.com. So looks like it's being blocked.

    Some people were having a problem over on HUKD a few days ago as well: http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/227567/anyone-else-having-problems-with-hm/ so looks like I'm not alone.

    Could be DNS issues, maybe give opendns a try and see how it goes.

    True it could be DNS, I've just tried on another computer, and it's the same. I don't need the site urgently, so I'll probably just wait. Thanks for replying anyway Jor el.

    Last night i got the "down for essential maintenence" message and today I get "internet explorer cannot display this webpage"... Tried PC and laptop.
    Deleted files and cookies and all that on the PC and rebooted, still internet can't display whatnot. :mad:
    Can get on other stuff fine.

    I asked my mate, they got on ok.
    Any one else unable to get on?

    It's not down, and don't drag up old threads.
