freaksister 0 #1 July 19, 2001 I was just curious if anyone else has been having a difficult time with dz.com lately, like SLOW page downloads! I have a cable modem and other websites are NOT this slow! Blues,Sis It isn't brave if you aren't scared... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhuurrr 0 #3 July 19, 2001 yep, me too. On a DSL connection. I normally get downloads @ about 1.5Mbits per second.J-------------------------------http://www.oneeyedjackproductions.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tee 0 #4 July 19, 2001 I just moved to a new city on Monday and thought it was due to my new connection....guess not. Tee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donna 0 #5 July 19, 2001 Same here! I've been trying to catch up after not being online last week and it's taking forever for the pages to load. I only have a 56k modem with slow phone lines so I thought maybe it was my computer but other pages were loading normally. Hope it gets better as I still have 500+ posts to catch up on! You guys talk a lot! Skies,D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phastasphuk 0 #7 July 19, 2001 Na, haven't noticed any speed drop, but I have a satellite link bouncing across the world with the whopping speed of 4-5 k/S, so it must be something wrong with yer computer/connection!chrisHow would you like too stick with meHow much do you love to freefall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axe96bam 0 #8 July 19, 2001 I have a T1 line and it is slow for me as well. Maybe HH can tell us what is going on? Could it be that there are too many of us for the server to handle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhus 0 #9 July 19, 2001 yep- slow here too. Maybe if enough of us keep complaining we will convince dropzone to buy a new server! To their credit, they are doing quite a bit of processing so that each page is custom built depending on the user making the page request. But... they do need to fix it because it is running REALLY slow.jhus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymedic 0 #10 July 19, 2001 slow here too, i figured it was because of my dial up...I hate dial up!!!!!Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westcoastchica 0 #11 July 19, 2001 only slow for me in the forums. when i bounce around the rest of the site, everything runs quicker. maybe it has something to do with the traffic in here...i dunno. but yeah, the forums are totally slow for me too.

AggieDave 6 #12 July 19, 2001 I had dropped HH a private message about that a few days ago. He said it was my connection, but I'm on a 100mbit network that's on a DSL...usually everything is really freak'n fast. huh...AggieDave '02-------------Blue Skies and Gig'em Ags!BTHO t.u.

Pammi 0 #13 July 19, 2001 Quote Maybe if enough of us keep complaining we will convince dropzone to buy a new server! I doubt it since 'they' is just 'he' and he just moved it to a new server I believe. Also, he is the one who has been paying for it all out of the kindness of his heart, so I'm grateful to get whatever he is willing to provide.

what42 0 #16 July 20, 2001 Quote Maybe if enough of us keep complaining we will convince dropzone to buy a new server! To their credit, There is no "they". It's just Sangiro to the best of my knowledge and he pays for all this himself. If you'd like a faster server please send him some money to help pay for it. I'm sure we'd all appreciate the extra speed but until then I'm happy with what the service he's provided for us.Wesley--I'll see you at 13,5 amongst the clouds.

jhus 0 #18 July 20, 2001 Sorry, didn't mean to be too critical. If Sangrino put this site together out of the "kindness of his heart", then that is completely amazing. I could not even imagine why someone would do something like that! Having a little hobby site is one thing... but this is no "hobby site". This is a very complete, well rounded site- and it has to be a full time job for one person to keep up with. So my compliments to Sangrino on the site as a whole whether you make money off it or not. And if you really don't make money off of it, then you are one extrordinarily generous dude!jhus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #19 July 20, 2001 No he doesn't make money, he loses money. You can give him a donation on paypal, there is a link in the pub I think, or somewhere else on the site. I did and I got a personal thank you email! :) Sangiro is a great guy and yes this all started as a hobby. We love our Head Honcho! (It helps that he is a hottie, too!)

flyingferret 0 #20 July 20, 2001 Well, I work at an ISP and at least in Central Texas, the net has been hell the last few days. Everyone is still trying to figure out why. So far, we have found two reasons. A) a train wreck in Baltimore took out UUNET's eastern backbone. B) there is a new IIS worm out and a nasty one-- http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Advisories/AL20010717.htmlMalachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
