sysopt running a bit slow today

[Axel]

I don't think it's anything on my end - I'm on a LAN >> T-1 connection and other sites are loading fine -

Is one of the servers down?

[drojman]

I was having the same trouble earlier this afternoon, and I am on from work right now where I have an isdn, and other sites loading fine.

It seems to be working ok now though

[Amarok]

have not had any trouble loading from my end at all today either at home or at work (adsl at home or t-1 at work)

I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm a DSL connection, and this site seems to get SLOWER and SLOWER everyday!

It can take up to 1.5/2 WHOLE minutes to load the General Discussion page. (for me).

AND.. Its ONLY the Sysopt pages, all the other sites I visit daily are fine.

After calling Info Pop corp. earlier,I found out the problem (now taken care of) one of the Squirrels on the wheel died.

It was slow for me earlier today - late morning, early afternoon. It's fine now.

This site has become extremely slow! I feel as though I am on a 14.4 modem. It is not my connection because all other pages load fast.
Just went to the Bandwidth speed test (http://computingcentral.msn.com/topics/bandwidth/speedtest500.asp) and here are the results.

Raw Data:
If you're just dying to see the raw data used to calculate your download speed, here it is:
· download start time: 955121438623
· download end time: 955121440716
· download time: 2.093
· download size in thousands of bytes: 500
· estimated line speed (K bits per second): 1949.4
estimated line speed (K bytes per second): 238.9

Now what is going on with sysopt? There has to be a reason for this. It has been this way the last few days.

Strange just installed IE5.5 and it is now normal. But the other sites I have been to today have been fast all morning.

Looks like the technical issue has passed - I'm not having any trouble today - things seem to be back in order.

This has been a problem for some time now. What's going on Sysopt?

hey guys,,im using 56k dial up here in australia,, i usually check out the forum once or twice a day,,but the times i check it out are not peak times over there,

Whenever you experience a slowdown, try doing a traceroute to sysopt.com and email the results to me at sdw@sysopt.com. If you don't have a traceroute utility, I'm sure socalgal will post a link to one here, or anyone else, please feel free. The traceroute will probably **** out one or two servers deep within Globix.net, which is normal.

The main page seems to be slow as molasses, but after I get into the forums I am ok.

[jad1097]

I will do that Scott, thanks.

Usually the site is fast but sometimes it is extremly slow.
