galdran Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I don't know if the problem is with my provider, or nexusmods, but thought i'd post here incase anyone else is having problems. I am unable to access all other sites attached to nexusmods http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/ for example and of course http://forums.nexusmods.com I can even connect to the site from my work computer. I thought at first it was a problem on my computer, power cycled the router, flushed the dns. Then I did a tracert and discovered that it was making it to the final hop and then nothing, which would lead me to believe the problem is on nexusmods end. But yet I can connect from my work computers. So i'm at a loss. Anyone else having problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pevey Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Have you tried it again recently? The Nexus often has little issues that pop up and then disappear. Weekends in particular have a heavy load. The Skyrim Nexus is remarkably stable given the huge number of mods in that database at this point, the number of previous user downloads that are tracked in the database, the high daily traffic, etc. Whenever I get frustrated with an occasional slow load time or timeout, I try to remember to be grateful that the infrastructure that supports our hobby if provided to us for free. :) And it does improve over time. Of course, if you're saying you've had absolutely no access for days, that's a different story, and I'm not sure the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galdran Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Its been about 3hrs. I thought i'd post here and see if its a widespread problem. Not really going to worry about it until its been down for at least 24hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezarr123 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Same issue here mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galdran Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well, I thought the issue was fixed because I was able to access the site last night for about 30mins before I went to bed. But today the same problem is happening again. Doing a ping, it times out completely, doing a tracert, it gets all the way to the final hop (Skyrim nexus) and times out.

Pevey Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 As it turns out, the Nexus has been under a DDOS attack for a few days now. There is a post about it in the news section of the Skyrim site. Of course, good luck getting to it. :( Not much we can do except weather it out. The script kiddies will get bored eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
