The IP addresses of the server(s) have changed. You can access the web page here: http://206.248.62.8/index.html

Once the DNS entries get updated over the next 72 hours things should settle down and everything should work better than it did before.

Ni! :cheers:

to update your hosts file so you don't have to wait for your dns server to update to the latest settings for the distributed folding servers, take a look at the following page that describes how to update your "hosts" file to get rid of annoying ads:
http://ssmedia.com/utilities/hosts/

-----------
at the top of the Hosts file, add the following 2 entries for distributed folding:
----------------------
206.248.62.8 www.distributedfolding.org
206.248.62.8 anteater*.distributedfolding.org
----------------------

if you save with wordpad or notepad, it usually sticks a .txt extension on the file; so you have to delete the original HOSTS file, and rename HOSTS.TXT to HOSTS.

both sets of dns servers that I use still haven't gotten the updated info.. so this is the only way I could get my buffered structures to upload and get the faster update.. (speed!!!!)
