Re: Dead (not responding) mirrors

Hi, The fact of traceroute is not working is not an assumption the site isn't. Some providers and companies think blocking ICMP messages is a good practice. This breaks the route discovering method used by traceroute. But this not avoid the site to be reached. A better and simple method to test the site function is: telnet br2.php.net 80 or use a browser ;-)) There are other heavy methods of testing the availability and itegrity, such as WebWatch from 3Elos (www.webwatch.com.br), but the service is paid.
