Help! Anyone experiencing dead links from Vimeo? I cant even get into the main page!

Tripp Woelfel · April 21st, 2009, 07:43 PM

Works fine here. Main screen works and logged in without issue.

I was on it few times today with no problem, your local provider must have it blocked !

No, its still alive, but for how long? A drop in service and quality after paying for a Plus account is a sure way to get people to migrate elsewhere. Especially when YouTube is offering better quality for free now.

Its still blocked locally somehow. I managed to access it via a US server. Its strange! When I hit Vimeo, Video Sharing For You I get an error as below. Its so frustrating...

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Sean, it is blocked for me as well. I have tried it from 4 or 5 different places in the past few days and get the same error message as you.

Wonder who to contact about this? Obviously I can't look for an email contact on vimeo. :)

Sounds like an ISP issue. You might want to contact your provider. Whatever's blocking you is probably happening there.

I did as Tripp advised and contacted my ISP, Singnet. They gave me a proxy server setting to apply and it works.

Sean, I will PM you the settings.

No problems here ... I am on Pacific Internet's Cable modem service (using Starhub's infrastructure). A friend of mine also got the same problem.
