Anyone else seeing occasional sluggishness from the forum?

I'm wondering if Samson's had a haircut - occasionally, I'm seeing a pause of up to 10 seconds after hitting 'post'.

Testing..

Simon · Apr 18, 2008, 12:54:46

I've been getting it with Pals too, and other websites, occasionally.

Inactive · Apr 18, 2008, 12:54:53

Nope, all OK here at the moment ..

Malc · Apr 18, 2008, 12:56:59

I'm getting it as well, but I'd out it down to being at work, were we're on poopex.

Rik · Apr 18, 2008, 12:58:51

Odd...

Ted · Apr 18, 2008, 13:05:35

No surprise to me, you've obviously broken it from over use

Usually for me, over my work connection it is all nice and quick!

Obviously not on Poo-pex / Toscalli then.

This is what I've been seeing over the last few weeks, Rik, on lots of sites. I click a link and nothing happens, but clicking it again loads the page instantly. I thought it was my router, hence the reason I bought a new one.

What I can say is it's not DNS as I use OpenDNS and I know you use IDNet's, Rik.

BT, but as part of a £24m a year contract with them

Recently the connection has been satuated but we just got some more bandwidth. I ping the bbc @ 3ms!

Just happened to me too, when I posted a reply in another thread.

Rik · Apr 18, 2008, 15:16:03

Thanks.

It is happening to me on a few sites today,Thinkbroadband is very slow.

ps I timed how long it took the original of this post to appear - 11 seconds

Rik · Apr 18, 2008, 15:22:47

That's about the delay I'm seeing, Alan, but intermittently.

David · Apr 18, 2008, 20:15:11

I've had identical symptoms too for several weeks. Not regularly enough to be a real problem, but irritating. It seems a different problem from the speed issues I've had, as when the link does open it opens quickly.

I also monitor a couple of binary newsgroups using a Teranews account, downloading headers only. For the last 10 days, the downloads have become painfully slow: 100 or so at a great speed, then a 5 or 10 second pause, then another 100, and so on. Previously, 1000 would come down in one go at my maximum connection speed. No idea whether this is a Teranews problem, or my exchange, or IDNet, but it is similar to the delays being noticed when opening links.

It doesn't appear to be the server, that was checked yesterday and on Monday. I wonder if this cable which BT are going to repair has anything to do with it?

Sebby · Apr 19, 2008, 09:16:00

I think it could well do, Rik.
