Over the last week I have faced the problem of a damn slow connection to ADT. Its no fun when it takes up to one minute to switch from one thread to another.
it's ok for me-in fact better than ok according to dnsstuff.com's ways of checking. it could be completely different across the pond or even across the country-but what's coming in and out of maine seems to be fine.
BTW, I put a block on a couple of European based ISP's proxy servers a week or two ago. It doesn't look like Juha's post at the top of this thread is from one of those ISPs but it's hard to know for sure. This could be contributing to the problem.
I did some work on the database server yesterday. (That's why the site was offline for a couple hours.) The site and forum appear to be workign faster and are more stable now.
I did some more maintenance this morning on the database server. The site appears to be performing much faster here on the LAN. Hopefully that's the case over the internet too.
For me, too. I thought it was because I switched from cable internet to DSL yesterday, but every other site I usually visit is loading fast. ADT is taking up to 15 minutes (if at all) to load in the forums--particularly The Porn Pool and Polls. The rest of ADT seems to be fine, except these here forums.
thanks for the feedback but we are very well aware of the problem. I've mentioned a few times recently that our bandwidth is seriously maxed out and I'm trying to fix it.
Why is is that Opera ver 8.51 appearantly doesn't adhere to the HTTP cache control headers that we send out? What a waste of bandwith. 10,000 hits to the forum today from one user.
yesterday we sent you about 80MB from the forum at a little over 10,000 hits. that's a lot of repeat data going over the wire that shouldn't need to be resent for every page.
de25ge - I think I'm going to start banning all of the IP addresses that you've ever used to visit the forum. You are single-handedly responsbile for far too much of our bandwidth usage. You use more in one day than all of the people that visit our site from AOL. Please do something about your local browser cache settings.
The fun thing is google said the same to me, I don't know what it is. I'm using IE now. I don't know what it is, maybe the router is not good and generates problems.
I used an other isp abroad(for 3 days) which had a direct internet connection. Firewall and Kaspersky told me every 20 minutes that hellkern attack was blocked but that didn't interest me, because it was blocked and I have no sql server.
At home I looked into my router protocol and saw a TCP FIN packet was send to test for open ports. I don't know.
google only said something once, when I accessed cached adultdvdtalk sites.
