    I clikced the link & it ate all my bandwidth for 10 minutes until I cancelled it.
    Is there anything worth seeing on it?

    Ping does not mean that the web server is up and running. Only that the machine that the web server runs on is up and running.

    It's working for me, but it did take a /long/ time to respond. Defo not your browser.

    what isp are you?
    I reckon its eircom. possibly no one has ever gone to that ip on its server and it doesnt know how to?
    Might try a proxy after and see...
    any other tips?/

    Proxy is your best bet at this stage. Try the google cached page thing too maybe?

    I'm in work. It's a corporate connection, so they're their own ISP effectively.
