error message

Hi, can you please try again... I tried to reproduce the error and I couldn't. Maybe it was temporary.

It is now the 25th Jan, I didn't have this problem anytime before yesterday but now I am getting this unaccessible problem, ie error message. Can anyone please try to help me out?

I can't get to auctionsniper.com, use snipe it now, or Sniper Browser... this is the only auctionsniper.com page I can access. The pages never load, I never get an error messsage, even after 10 minutes... everything worked fine last night. HELP!

You are not the only one. However I seem to have won a snipe in the meantime. I just hope AS comes back in time for me to cancel a snipe that I was too lazy to create a bid group for ...

AMH, can you get to this page:
http://support.auctionsniper.com
I can't.

I can't access that page so I doubt any of us can, but it'd be nice if we could all keep each other updated as to when we can access our snipes again.

Update your snipes now things seem to be back working again.

I had the same problem and lost a bid that I would have won because of it. But I'm hoping the item will come forward again.....

Apparently AS came back on line shortly after 5 PM EST. By that time, one snipe I had scheduled lapsed and went unbid. I manually bid on three others and won them all, with AS coming online belatedly and sniping the last two of them for me anyway. So that cost me two snipes. I figure AS owes me one of those for the one that went unbid. URL will be furnished privately to AS on request.

Can't get anything to load--what's going on here???

I have been having that trouble all day, but it wasn't only AS, several other sites wouldn't load either, kept timing out or getting the "Site busy" notice.

Lead, Follow or get out of the way!

On the evening news there's a report of a computer virus, a worm, that spread to a high percentage of the world's servers. It knocked the World Wide Web for a loop. (This worm does not affect PC's.) I suspect that's what happened with AS and a lot of other things.

I was just coming on to post this and see you beat me to it--seems it messed up the internet and caused problems everywhere--well I for one am glad it wasn't my computer doing a swan dive!

Here are several articles on the Internet worm that slowed the Internet, and crippled many places. Including the facility where we colocate all of our servers. In many places entire countries networks were clogged to the point nothing worked.

While we cant control the internet or these vicious hackers who wreak havoc on the entire world, and economy we still offer free credits to anyone who has a missed snipe.

You can get your free snipes at:

I appologize for the late update on why things were missed, but the news didn't break until early this morning as to the cause and we spent all day working with our colo to ensure they got all the bad things worked out with their other customers to the network wasn't clogged. We make no money when we dont snipe. And we lose additional money for the free snipes we then credit. Which ends up costing us about double what the missed snipes would have brought in. So believe me when I say we never ever want to miss a snipe, it costs us dearly. And we're just a small operation. I can only imagine what these hackers cost the world in lost productivity and revenues. Certainly in the hundreds of millions. And yet will they ever be caught? Probably not. Hunted down like the criminals they are? Not likely. Our legal system, and abilities to catch them just aren't up with the technology out there yet...

Anyways, I am again very sorry for any snipes we missed, and hope you will please accept the free snipes by clicking this url:
