For the last month everything has been progressively slowing down and it's now to the point of only working about every 4th or 5th reload, that is if anything loads at all.

I was back on dialup for a little while yesterday and it seemed normal. Been working great with my broadband.

for me, this site is sometimes slow on sunday, but normally works just fine...

There is no reason for it to have been slow here as everything else has been normal. Perhaps just bad timing with other local traffic but it doesn't make any sense for it to effect only one site. It's fine now and has been since I whined about it so maybe that's what fixed it.

Glad you broadband is working for you Quasi. smiling smiley

Yeah, I've been taking a few days to get an idea of my baseline of normal usage and the other night I couldn't sleep so used the dialup at the odd hour of the night so as not to skew my findings. Man did that suck. Even when it's shows little or no siganal the broadband absolutely kicks dialup's ass. And, so far, my usage is well within my limits. I think I've got a winner.

Cool news. Now if we could perk up on getting some interesting uploads it'd be great. smiling smiley I've got nothing to offer at this time. Wish I did.

If by "entertained" you mean going out for a cup of coffee and a newspaper while a pic downloads, you've done enough.

Just experienced a considerable slow down for a few minutes.

And again when I clicked to post the line above - took several minutes.

Yeah we run our database backups on a Sunday. Pretty sure that's what you're all banging on about.

The hamster runs flat out for a while, but it takes longer than I'd hoped so I dunno, might need more guts in the server or something. A bit frustrating really :/

It probably set off their residual fecal matter sensors. Try sending one that you haven't already tested.

So.. who here has any technical skills (enough to install linux and do some specific config options), and is willing to receive and potentially send a package for me? smiling smiley
