ParticipantWell, I’ve been trying to download a few patches from http://www.mess.be, and I can’t seem to get anywhere. When I hit the Download File button, a new window opens containing the Mess.be homepage, with no download occurring. Anyone know what might be causing this? I have no pop-up blockers enabled, I run Norton Firewall, on EI 6, WinXP. I have emailed the site admins reporting this, no reply yet though. Thanks.

ParticipantHey dude.
Actually, some bunch of idiots attacked the MSN Messenger and MsgPlus community yesterday. They entered the IRC chat for Mess.be and took down site by site, also attacking each person in the chat, by giving off 250 PM killing their computer and internet connection.
You can check out my site for more information about this. Also with a list of sites that were effected.
Most of them are up now, but may be experiencing problems like you have said.More info at http://www.pluslite.com

ParticipantYah, I noticed it was down earlier – damn idiots – but I’ve had this problem for a few weeks, just never bothered to ask about it until now. Thanks though.

ParticipantIt doesn’t download on my work computer either. I tried downloading from mess.be with both IE 6 and Netscape 6.2, both with the same results outlined previously. 🙁

ParticipantThe MSN Messenger community sites have been hit yet again by service of denial.
These include:
http://www.msgplus.net
http://www.mess.be
http://www.msnfanatic.be
http://www.winbeta.org
http://www.neowin.net
http://www.webtech.tk
http://www.itselephants.comBe forwarned to stay out of these sites IRC channels, especially mess.be’s. Spammers come in at about 300 at a time, and crash your computer at your finger tips.
If you want to download the latest version of Plus! grab it here: http://www.pluslite.com/Downloads/Plus/Latest/MsgPlus-220.exe
You are still are eligible for the Nintendo Game Cube contest when you download it from there.July 15, 2003 at 7:17 am #59637shifter
ParticipantWell, hopefully they find better things to do soon. What a dumb thing to do.
Anyway back to my problem, which doesn’t seem to be related at all to those spammers (I wish it was then I would know what was wrong – keep us posted detn8r). Ok, I have tried again on a third computer and still the same problem. No download, just a new window containing mess.be. I can’t possibly be the only one with this problem. Still no reply from mess.be, likely too busy worrying about keeping the server up and running with all these damn attacks. Well, I’m not in a rush, so I hope they get that sorted and protected against these spammers, so we can all continue our messing and such.

Memberwell shifter
today only i downloaded patch for 503 and it downloaded fine… i think the site is up again!!! just try it outJuly 15, 2003 at 5:27 pm #59636shifter
ParticipantNope, like I said, I don’t think the attacks have anything to do with this problem. I can usually find the patches elsewhere, but I would like to have the option of using Mess.be. I’ve had this problem for at least a month. I just never bothered trying to figure it out until now. The Mess.be site seems to be working fine except for this.
When I click the Download File button, It opens a new window and I can see it switching from the download link – In this case for JnrzLoader – http://www.mess.be/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=download&id=365 to just http://www.mess.be
I think this problem has something to with Dwergs use of Frames, and not allowing certain pages to be linked directly. For example :
JnrzLoader for MSN Messenger 6 – clicking this link will bring up the mess.be homepage instead of the Page containing the download. Which is exacly the same thing it does when I try to download.July 15, 2003 at 9:40 pm #59642coolguyj2
Memberhey shifter
i downloaded the file Jnrzloader for MSN 6.00503 and it’s working fine for me
if u want I can send u via mail!!!
mail me
also, when u click the link first u r taken to a page with following detailsQuote:quote:You’re trying to download a file that’s only available directly through Mess with MSN Messenger (http://www.mess.be) – the only site you should visit to mess with MSN Messenger 😉 If you receive this page through another site, please tell the webmaster not to leech files from us and if you want to, you can notify us as well through the contact form on http://www.mess.be!so, they think u r stealing their links and hence u dont get permission and are fwd to their home page!!! go to the home page and go to
download(drop down menu) and then select search our files… and type in the box what u want!!!I got it that wayJuly 15, 2003 at 9:57 pm #59644Mr.Curlynose1
MemberWell, I’ve not been able to go to http://www.msgplus.net for the last few days, and I wanted to know why. But, apparently, it’s back now, since many of my friends can load the page!!! Maybe those idiots blocked random IP addresses from the sites! I can only load about 2 of those sites that you posted which makes me suspicious. I haven’t had any problems with other sites than those either. Could someone contact Patchou about this because msgplus.net is the main site that I want to get to.

I get redirected to the mess.be home page everytime. Read what I posted earlier, it hasn’t changed. I get the home page whether I download through them or if try to direct link the file. Telling me to try it over and over again is not fixing the problem.
Thanks for the file offer coolguyj2, but as I said, I can usually find what I need elsewhere.
