Title: Downloads impossible - the IP address is used elsewhere!
Post by: miko2d on January 31, 2001, 11:01:00 AM
 Hi guys,
 It is impossible for me to download patches or updates from your website download page http://www.hitechcreations.com/. (http://www.hitechcreations.com/.)

Example:
 The URL for the download of the latest version is ftp://208.221.133.59/AH1056.EXE
 When I click on it I get "[Network Error: Connection reset by peer]" message.
 I have no problem downloading other files where address is specified symbolicly as www.hitechcreations.com (http://www.hitechcreations.com)

 I did some investigation and here are the results:
 1) tracert 208.221.133.59 is successfull but it indicates that the target site is amasuperbike.com !!!
 2) Entering http://208.221.133.59/ (http://208.221.133.59/)  into the browser opens the same web page as http://amasuperbike.com (http://amasuperbike.com)

 Obviously, ftp://208.221.133.59 tries to access ftp server on amasuperbike.com site rather then the one on your site www.hitechcreations.com (http://www.hitechcreations.com)  and fails.

 One of you - HTC or AMASuperbike - is using the IP address 208.221.133.59 by mistake.
 I posted a note "Download problems" in the Technical Support Forum on January 8th but there was no responce.

 My company's ISP is www.appliedtheory.com (http://www.appliedtheory.com)  (New York City)
 I will be glad to supply you with more information if required.

 Anyone have any ideas?

Wasn't the AMAsuperbike web site originally suposed to be a game that some former ICI guys were working on?  I followed it for a bit, but lost touch with it.

It seems it has now become a news site for the real thing.
