Slow, slow, slow (III) !

Will it ever return to normal for more than a day or two?

Took me about 2 minutes to get in here this morning. Who knows how long this post will take.

Weird, JJ, you're not that far from me.

To Forums Operations:

about 3/4 of the message on the forums (using the html format not nttp I don't use that way) I have to stare at a blank screen with the message in status bar waiting for "wwww.adobeforums.com....".

Yesterday it was about 4 messages (all in the afternoon), ones in the morning were near instantaneous.

the day before and the previous week or so it was nearly instantaneous.

I'm figuring every last one I read tomorrow will have a 5 minute wait.

One word:

Unusable!

whoo! i can kick in 10 bux or so for a processor upgrade! :)

(just kidding!)

I'm not convinced the slowdowns are adobe traffic related (where a hardware upgrade would help) as opposed to tie ups at the isp/backbone level. still hardware upgrades couldn't hurt (famous last words!)

I thinking of dropping a sniffer on my end and seeing if i'm getting many of those infamous comcast RST's...

While I have experienced some of the slowdowns being discussed, I have not seen any yesterday or today.

There are plans to add more hardware, but contracts need to be ironed out and things like that.

Have they got a better company than WebCrossing to handle the Forums?

Maybe they need to start looking? :-(

The delays are unconscionable.

Fix it, or stick an M80 up the collective arse of Adobeforums.com.

ah so thats out. but still get the waiting for message. it took like 5 mins for this to come up.

The security system at the ISP doesn't accept pings or traceroutes. I believe that they always time out.
