At seemingly random intervals, EoFF just starts to go extremely slow for me. It happens now and then, often after I've been at the board for a few minutes. I normally browse using the 'archive' feature, but even that get affected.
The problem's not with my internet connection; other sites are unaffected.
Same here.
It's been doing it to me too. Since I'm on dial up it's pretty bad, a lot of pages time out while I'm waiting.
Yeah, happens to me too. I just restarted the http server and things are blazing fast again.
Yes, it is working quite fine since this evening.
You mean you caught it to?
Our traffic is up about 200%, so that could be it >_<
Better put a (tighter) speed cap on the downloads :p
Site was down for me for a few minutes, but now it works. Still having the slowdown as well. :(
Everything is slow for me, but yeah, oftentimes it gets as slow as a old man's gangster flow. And times out.
If you can tell me how, I'd love to hear.Quote:

Well, thing is that I'm on a unmetered 20mbps server, and we've only used a max of 11mbps or so... so really html/mysql should really be loading no problem.
It's been okay for me until today, when I couldn't access the forums (but still the main page, weird).
The server speed itself is probably the limiting factor...running a busy forum takes a lot of juice, and vBulletin is known to use a lot of resources.
Same here, although when I went back from the site, everything worked fine, so I can't say exactly what changed it. If anyone wants to report any dead times, please ensure that you let us know if the frontsite is loading or not as well as the forums. :)Quote:

Lightning fast for me again, I was wondering what was going on xD
I know for a fact that the server went down for 4 minutes earlier. If this continues, I'm going to contact my host.
Was really slow just 2 mins ago, has sped up now though
Yes, there were a few minutes today that nothing was opening up, other than that it's just mostly been slow.
Ditto on the forums not opening at around 2am, but the mainpage still loading fine. I can never tell if the speed has to do with the site or with me though, since I share a network with the rest of the apartment complex.
Just got a message saying Server too busy, its 10:46 GMT, just so you know :D
Yeah, sorry. I turned on something in the vbulletin to have a max on the load. But I turned it off now.
Thats ok, was just informing you :D
I just had a connection refused error, and then I had a "Problem with the database" error. About three minutes ago.
So far as mod_bwlimited, who knows. I don't know anything about admining extremely high-traffic sites. I have experienced random forum-slowness though.
Alright, well, here is what my host said:

The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
I couldn't get on at about 4:45 p.m. today.
EDIT: And as I was trying to post this, it gave me a Server is too busy. message.
EDIT2: It was 5:45 not 4:45.
Sorry, I thought I turned that "feature" off but apparently I left it on. Off now.
Well, I would have thought so too but there has been no downtime since...Quote:
