I've been scraping a website for a few days, I scraped heaps! All of a sudden the site wouldn't load on the computer (times out) but will load on the other one I have (one internet wired router - so denifitely the issue is linked with the computer not the internet).

I can't access it using python, not even via selenium webdriver.

I am on Windows 10 if that matters.

Things I've done to resolve it:

  1. Check if the site address appeard on the blocked list at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts and it did not.
  2. run ping [website] command on the cmd on both machines and gives the same correct output

Any ideas?

  • Wow! It worked :) You saved my life buddy. On a side note, it seems to load pages slower, is that true?
