Wow, the forum is slow.

Must be that Canadian filter that homeland security put in place.

Speed is fine here in Tampa.

I haven't noticed any problems either. Everything looks fine and normal as usual.

There haven't been any recent changes on the servers, but I've notice a few slow periods as well.

Some appear to be due to spambot activity, so yesterday and today I went through the logs and blocked a bunch of IP addresses that were generating the extra traffic.

It's fine here.

You on cable? That'll do it.

Currently, 2 of the 4 main router in Canada are down right now. Depending on which websites you go to, there could be additional lag since it has to re-route around those two.

Just a thought.

They haven't paid the bill, and they have gone to dial up speed.

I've noticed it too. Some of the larger POI downloads are taking twice the time as they used to.

I haven't found it happening with my other primary sites so it must be related to this forum.

Fred

connectivity and speed appear to be OK in Flor-i-duh !

I have noticed slow-ness on the site as well.. for the past week..
I put the path in PingPlotter and didn't see anything unusual there.

It's cause of all the news coming from your home town.
One fire, all that rain, body found, police getting fired at and so on. Every one is talking, bogging down the Internet. Just kidding, I found the same thing, but not just here. Even my e-mail has bin slow. I have a 10 Mbps connection, I normally have no lag.

Downloaded updates for all my favorite POI files this week and haven't noticed any slowness at all.

Was slow yesterday.

Now is OK.

Downloads of POI files are real slow right now. Yesterday too!

You got Internet in New Mexico? Wow.

I downloaded several of Mahoneys files plus RLC & Speed. Everything OK

than what you get in them hollers...

Yup, it comes via pony express. I guess we need to feed them horses.

...in Flori-duh. (considering the blue-haired population)

Seems to have gotten faster in the past 15 minutes or so.

Just because we can 't run fast anymore, or do other things fast, doesn't mean we can't click & drag and read fast ! - that's providing we can remember where we left our glasses !

I notice daily that I can't do many things the way I used to, so I'm slowly joining that group. If I could only remember which button or link I am supposed to click on.

It's good to know I'm not the only one noticing the forum is slow.

Again, this is the only site that is.

Trace complete.

someone poured molasses into the pipe

From here it seems normal, I really haven't noticed any difference.

This is getting worse. It's like a 56K connection. 18 seconds to login.

No problems from here

be connection issues on your end.

in Upstate NY all weekend.

Bill Gates used to say that a lot. LOL

The 2 slow points are: 64.15.3.70 and 74.208.1.54 (te-2-4.bb-d.ws.mkc.us.oneandone.net). Looking in the 'best' column shows the bottlenecks.

I've noticed it too for the past few weeks. It still doesn't seem any better.

I've noticed it periodically but not to bad.

• 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Fifth Street between Country Club Road and Alvernon Way; and on Prince Road near Fontana Avenue.

Not so fine in Chevy Chase, MD. Just navigating around the web site has now become very slow - not just downloads.

Fred

Everything is running smooth here.

Damn Olympics

other sites are normal (fast). Didn't think the site was going to respond before timing out. Still looks like something specific to this site

No problems...........

Here...

POI's download fast again; looks like it's fixed!

Still slow. Downloads take longer and some pages are slow to load.

Mine is back up to speed.

It's still a bit sporadic for me, but far better than before.

Ditto in Northern AZ.

Downloads seem to be working fine here in the Washington, DC area.
