Back to slow, here...
Like an old four cylinder Jeep, with a plug wire off.
1:55 PM EST.

The rest of my knucklehead sites are flying.

I wonder if it might be a bandwidth issue when too many people are trying to download the Nav OS ver27 at the same time?? Look at the thread views, it's up to 28,000 now!!! There must be a way to fix this??????????

Slow here too. Started Friday and hasn't gotten any better

I'm convinced that it's not a server issue but rather a router issue somewhere in the internet. We aren't the download point for V27, it's on a site called megaupload.com which has no affiliation with X5world.

I'm on a dial-up connection at the moment and the speed is good even with a 50kb connection.

We'll continue to try to figure out why some are impacted by this and some aren't.

Was very slow before noon today and slow in the evening again. I was getting "page cannot be displayed". Other sites were fine. This has been going on for few days.

It be slow as of this posting.

hey guys. sorry to hear about the problems.

there was a brief DNS issue on Mon from 10:30-11:00 am through the gateway that our hosting provider uses. this was quickly resolved.

first of all, the site does not slow down because of user quantity or bandwidth. we have 2 terabytes of bandwidth available, and have never had or experienced a server load of greater than 0.10, even with 150+ members on the site downloading simultaneously. our peak was .3

the problem is here:

there are 14 steps between you and the x5world server, md. all it takes for one of those to timeout, or slow down, and bingo.

this is a function of your ISP provider. somewhere, when things slow down, you all 'share' a common slow pathway to the server.

the reason it is the same handful of people everytime is just that. whatever ISP you are using daisy chains you all through a similar route.

i don't have a solution for this. i've not had any issues since we moved to a dedicated server. we are running a DUAL xenon 3.4mhz pentium machines with twin 160gb HD and 2 GB of memory on a fiberoptic backbone.

doesn't get too much faster than that...

the only thing i can suggest is when the site slows to try a friend's ISP or internet cafe/free hotspot and compare. if they don't use the same ISP and the site is status quo, then there's the problem.

wish i had a better fix!

Great explanation Drex, thanks!
