From experience, this is usually because my ISP does really, really stupid things. So stupid, that every now and then I have to use Tor just to get stuff working.
So some actual cases:
- From time to time an image or animation on mspaintadventures would only partially load. I stop it, and refresh. Reloads exactly up to the point where it gets stuck.
- On some people's websites, I have to get updated .zip files. I have to either download them via a shell server, or get them to rename the file so I can get an updated version.
- Not really caching related, but sometimes I end up with weird routing loops while trying to access obscure websites such as Google. (In reality, it's almost always something like Cloudflare or Akamai.) This is when I resort to using Tor.
Anyway, if you're running Windows, or can run Windows programs, mind doing me a favour?
- Install the IndieCity Client.
- Create an account.
- On the Explore tab, filter by "In-progress", then select the "Dev Tools" subtab.
- Select pixra, and install it.
- Run it.
- Enter in some random filename like "butt.tga" and hit Enter.
My twitter account is @fanzyflani (oddly enough) if you want to get in touch. And of course, there's a comments box down there (I think), and a few on IndieCity.
