    I figured it out. The traffic rankings are on www.alexa.com now, instead. Guess info.alexa.com is not public anymore.

    I was able to get to info.alexa.com, however at home where I have Mediacom cable internet, I can't get any Alexa pages if they start with www.alexa.com. If there is something like http://pages.alexa.com/???? I can view those pages. Don't know if Mediacom is considering Alexa spam and somehow filtering them out.

    info.alexa.com works fine for me. And I can access the normal homepage as well. I did get a message like the one in question about 3 months ago but can't remember what I did at the time to get around it.

    Works for me as well. Not sure why you are having that issue. It is strange though.

    I had the same problem wit my cable connection.

    Is it possible that Alexa have selected a range of IP addresses and banned them to make it harder for cumalative DOS attacks, by zombie computers? (London!)

    Anything is possible. I have seen where a particular IP was blocked, effectively taking down all the people in that network.
