When I access AoMP3 from work (large US defense contractor), I get a message saying the site is down for maintenance when I try to order. When I look at my balance, I get the note saying I can't refill it and there's never an invitation to go to Sparks.

When I access from home (way out in the sticks with only dialup available, which is why I like to use the fat pipe at work), I can order and refill my balance and the Sparks invite is there. If I order something from home, I can then go to work the next day and download it.

Is AoMP3 blocking certain IP addresses? Could that be a reason why so many people are having problems refilling their balances?
I think they are, yes, but it may not be just that simple. If you look at the Relakks thread, you'll see that one person can refill when they use the VPN tunnel but not when they don't, which suggests an IP based issue, but then another person can't no matter what, which seems to indicate something else.

It surely is a quandry!
