WWW and FTP.POVRAY.ORG have now been moved to a new site. We would appreciate
it if users could inform us (via a followup in this NG) of any problems that
they may experience.

We'd like to publicly extend our thanks to NetPlex (http://www.ntplx.net/) for
volunteering to provide the site with hosting. The POV-Team has purchased a
4gig hard disk which is installed on the new machine and which will therefore
allow us to start restoring the site to something more substantial (for the
past 10 months we have been limited to only 140mb of disk space total).

-- POV-Team

No problems at all :) I browsed around today, testing and the connection was 
very good. (I'm in Sweden, time is 4.50 pm CET). Downloading 
POV-Win (4352 Kb) took 91 seconds. 

*Phew* Glad this mess got worked out, I got worried there for a moment :)

  I have no idea why is it so fast. I just tried it again:

nethack3.1.3.tar.gz: 2086286 bytes received in 1.67 seconds, 1221.76 K/s.

  I am in assari.cc.tut.fi and that nethack-file is located at ftp.funet.fi.
I don't know which type of line there is from here to outer world.

Well, no way I can get that sort of speeds, still the new POV-Ray site looks
much faster than it used to be. That's only my feeling after  a few trials
here in Ireland.

That's Sweden, one e and no q's. (No, I didn't say there were any q's, just
that there shouldn't be :P )

Secondly, you need to start at a University to get that speed. I'm on a
100 MBit house-net that goes directly to the main node in southern Sweden
for the Swedish University Net (34 GBit) about 300 feet away. 
I have pulled about the same speeds Mika mentions later in the thread half 
way acccros the country. 

At home though, it's the same old 3.7 kB / sec maximum.

Mika probably did the same as I did: Got lucyk and ended up on a fast line :)
My schools net sure has made me spoiled and picky.... one tends to do that 
with transferrates that go up and beyond 1 MByte / sec :) Also, pretty fun
to play Quake over the net when the server is less then 100 feet away :)
(Did someone say "ping"? ;) )

Probably just a transient failure.   You should probably try again.
Also, you should probably take note that the message you responded 
to is over two years old.

A number of sites were having this problem last night. The simple fix 
was to turn off javascript in your browser.

What appeared to have been happening was this:

1) the site uses an off-site advertising agency (okay)

2) the off-site advertising agency uses javascript in their 
advertisements (bad) but puts the javascript in a separate file (good).

3) the off-site advertising agency misplaced their javascript file 
(naughty).

(4) when Netscape discovers that a javascript or CSS file that a page 
"needs" is missing, it erases the page that "needs" it and gives you an 
error (silly).

So, whenever you load a page using that advertising agency, it inserts a 
javascript request into the page you're viewing, your browser discovers 
that the javascript file it is requesting doesn't exist, and your 
browser tells you so.

Turn off javascript and your browser never requests the javascript file 
and never discovers that it is missing. You still see the ads, though. 
I'm sure you're thrilled about that :*)

Set up an internet connection for a friend last night, and what's
the first site everyone tries (and always works)? 

This was an old PC with an old version of IE on it, we just got
what looked like the page headers at the top of the page, and nothing 
else worked atall.  The background was the same orange colour as usual.

I'd call it road centerline stripe yellow but that's too long to say.
Been wondering if the changes will get back again or another revamped set of
pages are in the works still.  The response last time wasn't overly
negative, just never going to please everyone.
