DVDTalk is loading slow or not at all again. Any help?
 

Ok, so last night I did a weekly run of AdAware and Spybot to clean out any spyware. It ran fine as usual, cleaning out about a dozen cookies and the like. The computer ran fine for the rest of the night.

When I turned on the computer and tried to visit this site today, It wouldn't load at all. I tried again later and it loaded, but very, very slowly. (took about 20 seconds or more when it usually takes 1-2)

I don't have any idea what's going on, but I guess it's a problem with my machine. Any help is appreciated.

I'm running Win XP home and IE 6.0.

Thanks,

jw

DVDTalk is extremely slow?
 

Anyone else experiencing DVDTalk very slow to access? It took ove a minute just to load this new thread page.

I am having the same problem. I am submitting this reply at 12:35pm, February 2, 2001.

It isn't your problem. The site is off-and-on very slow.

Yep, absolutely craaawwwwllling for me as well.

I have to keep another window open with porn just to have something to do while waiting for DVD Talk to load. -wink- :D

Seems to be server side since the ping speed is normal. For me that Thirst banner loads and that's all I see for 30 seconds and I get all freaked out. :D

Router issue. It is being addressed, I'll let you know when I have an update.

It's working better already. :):):)

That router has been working very well for a while now. :up:

The router which services the site needs to be replaced so expect outages and poor connection speed today

thanks for the update, i thought something was wrong with my computer too.

Y2K stikes again

Hurry up....I want my DVD Talk!

You can hit the stop button and the rest of the page should load while we wait for the fix.

:(

Yep... I'm having trouble too!

Seems to happen more often with that scary ad with the teeth! -eek-



[edited to add: That, and the several minutes of '502 timeout errors' that I got while trying to post this. :(]

Back in the saddle again....

All through last night and since around 255 pm I have not been able to access the site at all.

ditto with rypro. on my dial up the load is normally terrible but at this point i can hardly load half a page before something locking up.yet the post was a response to a thread created on 4/6/03! -eek-

Finally it's back on... for a while. Still having some hiccups but at least the pages still loads. :)

still slow for me too...

I've been having trouble also. Slow or not at all. :(

Ditto - slow for me. Just thankful that it is not my POS computer that is causing it this time...

Groucho :lol:


It is still really, really slow for me.

Its on and off for me, too.

Yea I been having problems too, isnt it ironic, when I tried to access this thread, it sat there for a long time then I got a page cannot be displayed thing.

If this post gets through, then I guess it's getting better. It's really a pain to try and post a reply to a thread only to get a "The page cannot be displayed" message.

Slooooooooooooooooow Connecting

Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon and evenings were running slow but not 32 minutes plus. I am new to the group, but I sniff I want a new server problem IMHO. ;)

Incase people aren't reading the first page of this thread.... We are currently working on replacing a faulty router which is causing problems. Should be resolved by the end of today

Hey Geoff. The web site is loading really slowly. I'm trying to figure out if it is my computer or your site. Thanks for listening.

;)

When you said a router needed to be fixed, I thought you were talking about me. I went out and bought a new router b/c I thought it was my computer! See this thread: http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=284015

Damn you for fixing the problem on your end! :lol:

I've been noticing that it was really slow and sometimes wouldn't load at all. Hope everything's okay now.

not fixed yet... New router in place but still working on settings to support the traffic.

The problem now should be resolved. Thank You everyone for your understanding.

This new router should result in a faster load of the site across the board.

:up: thanks geoff.

Well, it seems to be working better for me now! :up:

But it was REALLY slow yesterday. Anyone know what was wrong???

<just kidding>

:lol: y2k: hope ya read geoff's posts and are making funny. if not, shame on you. -ohbfrank-
