Thread: Are we to popular ?

Over the last week or so cruising the forum has been veeeerrrrrrry slow(for me at least)
I generally click whats new select thread then first unread and bringing up page often is taking over a couple of minutes and timing out.
Bottom of page is saying waiting on NZHS
Been threw comp and deleted all sorts of shit,defraged .Connection seems to be same as always at 100 somethings per sec.

So is it some thing wrong here( my PC) or is the forum just to busy at certain times. ?

I'd say it's your connection. Download MalwareBytes and run that. Often malware slows down your connection. Another thing to check is that you haven't used all of your broadband data and have been reduced to dialup speeds. Run SpeedTest and tell us what upload/download speed it returns

The forum is running very good software on very good servers. We aren't anywhere near capacity yet!

I was thinking the same thing -its been a little slow to get to a thread sometimes for me

my download speed was .26 and upload was .14, that seemed slow on the big dial

That's SLOWER than dialup!

Did the first thing, It fixed 100 errors for free of 40,000 or something
Did the second one it was 2.34 Mbps down and 0.52 up

I did the malware and my computer is clean

Hmm, it's free, it should have fixed them all, unless you downloaded the wrong thing.

What was the file that you downloaded called?

Yeah, malware won't slow it down that much. I'm surprised it's still functioning haha.

That was definitely .26 and not 26, right?

.25 and .14 when I did it that time. How much is 3500mb in gig? 3.5g?

That's ridiculously slow. Dialup is .64. Gotta be something wrong with it.

And yup, 3500mb is 3.5gb.

that may be why, we are on a 1g plan and used an extra 3570mb.

You'll be paying loads for the extra data. 1gb is hardly any. Used to be ok, but many websites these days are designed with loads of images and stuff and they use quite a bit of data over 30 days. I downloaded 8gb in two hours last night

Who are you with for your broadband?

telstraclear,

24 bucks for 1g and an extra 12 bucks for the extra mb's, I bet its capped once going over the 1g

Downloaded speed test thing an run it,rechecked speed now 3.24 down 0.56 up and a tune up utility's Icon on desk
