Forum slowdowns and outages this afternoon
 

Around 1 pm EST I couldn't access the forum for a while, then it came back up around 1:20, was working slow but ok. Then started haning and then went down again around 1:30 or so, before coming back up. I wasn't able to get a tracert during the slow period.

when it's down... need those traceroutes

Whats a traceroute? And how would I do it?

I ran one, but my ctrl-c of it didn't take and I had closed the window thus I lost it.

Go to start----> run

Type "command" and hit enter.

When the DOS prompt comes up type: "tracert www.dvdtalk.com"

Then right click and hit select all, then hit ctrl-c to copy, then paste it in a thread here.

Thanks. :up: Ill do that next time.

for the forum you'll want to trace route forum.dvdtalk.com

Good to know.

For what it's worth without a trace, the main site was down in addition to the forum for me yesterday afternoon.

It's really slow again. My traceroute to forum.dvdtalk.com is still running... I don't want to paste it all in here, since it has a bunch of work IPs in it.

Major problems this afternoon. Very slow, no ads or forum buttons or other images displaying, script errors, and the site was just totally timing out for a bit. Here's a trace from during the time out period.

Seems to be back to normal now.

We've received reports that Cogent is having issues in general with their network.... We're not on Cogent so there's little we can do to deal with them..

forum quite slow at 3:15 EDST traceroute follows:

took four minutes for page to load, and it was just the forum menu.

I've been getting hangs of and on all afternoon. Here's a trace minus my work IPS (which were all 1 ms).
