Site's slow, why?

Post by Rayne »

For the past few days, it's been taking me forever to browse this site. I can open hordes of other sites in the time it takes me to open a link here. As such, I doub't there's anything wrong with my connection.

What's going on?

I've noticed the same thing. Pages load forever before they actually open. It doesn't do it ALL the time, but certainly MOST of the time.

DNS Server issues...

Been for almost the last week now, they cant get the normal ones resolved. A lot of ISP's have not changed the settings on the background, so change it in your network settings manually...

Read about it on MyADSL. There is an alternate DNS server you can use. Should solve most issues...

I've been on SS all morning. I saw DAE make a post on there also a few minutes ago, so it's working for him.

Edit: Why Mexico? Just cross the border to Zim and call yourself a war veteran. Free accommodation and everything!
