Tijnema, Thanks a lot for answering.
Can you do me a favor please ? Can you try to connect to these two websites I recently tried to connect but couldn't because of the problem mentioned earlier ? www.kbfx.org thepinkfloyd.co.uk torrentsworld.org I just wanna know if I'm the only one facing this problem. At least, we can confirm that it is indeed a problem on their end and not something on my end. Thanks again.
