content: Over the past day or two I have noticed a very slow response when opening posts to read. It can take 30 seconds or a minute to bring up the page. Is anyone else noticing the same thing?Oddly, browsing the thread listings is fast, it is just opening threads or posts that is slow.

content: Seems fine my end.No change to the regular daily bandwidth on the new dedicated server.So your guess is as good as mine?Do these dedicated servers have to be reset occasionally?Dave.

content: My guess is that the problem was (it's back to normal for me) somewhere along the high bandwidth links between Europe and USA. If someone still has problems then it'd be a good idea to typetracert eevblog.comin Windows command line (ortraceroute eevblog.comfor Linux) and post the results.

content: Quote from: IanB on October 31, 2011, 09:15:18 pmPerhaps something with HostGator instead of my actual dedicated server box?, as my stats show no change from the norm.I'm now hosting TheAmpHour files on the dedicated server which gives it a spike every Tues afternoon (Sydney time) when everyone starts to download the show. But apart from that, a pretty consistent load on the server.Dave.
