We have received messages from a loyal listener in Tehran, Iran, who informs us that he suddenly can't download episodes of the show. Instead, he gets a "3259" error. This happens either in iTunes or direct from our site.

When he travels outside the country, however, he has no problem. So this seems to indicate that we are being at least partly blocked in that country.

The folks at our Web host are looking into this to see if we can help the listener find a workaround. So was it something we said?
 
Let me just add a follow up. We appear to be available from different test points in China that I examined, so that's a relief.

So the major villain these days is Iran.

It's a deep ground penetrating ordinance piece.

But I doubt that Iran will receiving any.

Its that doubt of yours that makes the encounter so much more likely.
Your poker hand is raised, and the stake on both sides is too high for any to fold.

Am taking bet's now.

When you're being banned by oppresive regimes, you know you're doing something right.
 
Curious that some shows get through. We don't. At the end of the day, it appears that he might have to try a proxy server and see if that works. Our host found a few oddities with the listener's IP address, but nothing sufficiently obvious to figure out what's up.

Could be the fact that the Shaw (sp)? of Iran was mentioned in a episode where they talked about that encounter with the "AMERICAN" made jets in the 1970's?

Just askin'.
 
All fun and games aside, do you suppose Gene, and/or Dave that this is because of your ethnic background? Care to speculate?
 
Totalitarian goverments usually ban things because they can. It's a warning to their people:"Don't mess with us, we are powerfull". Or, maybe the Ayatollah's prefers C2C:confused:

You would have to ask the person from Iran, who had the problems. Are all UFO sites down, our just the Paracast, If all are down, it not likely than, it Gene and David's ethnic background was the problem.
