Very slow DH

dipstick · Sep 8, 2003, 04:39 PM

I've noticed that when more than 100 members/visitors are on the forums, DH slows to a crawl. It's been like this since last week and it's extremely hard to even get in. Just thought I'd let you guys know

Thx

Yep, I noticed this aswell. Just come back from a week long DH vacation and I can't believe how slow this is. I would compare it much more to 56k dialup.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised to find that it's due to the new Omegadrivers being announced. I'm sure plenty of people are downloading presently.

Here its slow too at the moment

Zardon · Sep 8, 2003, 05:44 PM

the server can handle 150 fine, there is another problem and im just home and seeing its slow as well. ok well time to wreck it then until andrew gets here.

i have noticed too! it gets a little frustrating to see "server too busy try again later" message

Zardon · Sep 8, 2003, 05:55 PM

any improvements?

Logla · Sep 8, 2003, 05:58 PM

Not taking quite as long but its still a bit slow.

Zardon · Sep 8, 2003, 05:59 PM

also please remember guys this server not only hosts driverheaven but it hosts omegacorner as well ...... and the hits between the two are quite phenomenal ...........

I myself have noticed no slowdown. Also using dial up here. I agree that since Omega has introduced new drivers we are getting hammered and a slight slowdown is to be expected. If it becomes worse we will look at helping it out.

dipstick · Sep 8, 2003, 06:28 PM

Yeah, that would explain it. Didn't notice the new drivers come out

I have noticed a little slow down earlier today but seems better now.... I actually thought maybe the slowdown was the network here at work......

I am a very effecient 56k'er and doing the best I can

For me, it was very slow during the anticipation of the realease of the Cat 3.7's, I too was getting alot of 'server busy' messages. Well, I haven't gotten that since the 3.7's finally released, but it seems the forums have never fully recovered since and have been somewhat slower than usual. But I'd have to say that right now, they seem to be pretty much back to normal for me. At least, when I clicked on my shortcut for the DH homepage, it came up almost instantly.

.. alot of people durring the 3.7's were nailing F5 like it was some new fad.... it was crazy....but since..... meh, it's been super fast...... still is..... haven't had a problem really...... (i have uncapted download/upload speeds)
