Papers Past Problems?
« on: Friday 31 March 23 12:31 BST (UK) »
I have been trying to access New Zealand's Papers Past for the last couple of days but keep getting an error page coming up. (Error 20 The proxy failed to connect to the web server, due to TCP connection timeout.) Does anyone know if there is an ongoing problem, or maybe the issue is at my end?

Grateful for any thoughts or info.

I got the same message just now.  I don't know the reason for it.

Hello.

I lost access yesterday lunch time. Had been using it extensively over Thursday, and Friday until then, sifting through 3,000 broad search hits, and are only 700 in.

Had a look just now and appears to be working okay.

See they have a survey going on as well.

I got a similar message the several times I tried to reconnect. I had just assumed, that other users in my household, were competing for the avaiable, copper wire conectivity/capacity.
