    And you have a fix ..


    "
    The issue appears to be with IP 2.19.145.39 which is what images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com ultimately resolves to when this issue is present.

    If you can manipulate your local hosts file with an alternative IP address it works:

    92.122.17.240 images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com"




    Let me know if you need help finding/modifying the hosts file

    That may work, but it's a bodge, a workaround, it doesn't resolve the issue at the root cause and i'm betting the root cause is the ISP blocking the IP address.

    The root cause is Talktalk - they are garbage ..


    There seems to be an issue with their routing around the north-west


    They regularly mess up their routing to one of the businesses I "look after" on a freelance basis,
    which makes their mail servers inaccessible.


    This, coupled with their aweful "tech support" and huge splurge of users data, makes me wonder why anyone actually stays with them .

    So what do I do what for TT muppets to fix the issue or go with the "bogged fix"
    I don't want my PC messed up?
    Thanks

    It is not going to mess your pc up.
    It just tells your PC the correct IP address in relation to the requested URL


    Nothing more, nothing less


    That's what the hosts file is for :)
