Yes, its the friggin UGO ads - AGAIN 
|
|

The dreaded UGO ads definitely have something to do with it.

I know it because I use one PC behind a firewall and one unprotected. The firewall machine has no probs with the UGO ads, the unprotected machine slows right down when they come on. Go figure?

So how come I can have a problem and I have the UGO stuff blocked? As do a number of others?

I experience the exact same thing. From behind the firewall at work: No slowdown. From my home computer: Unbelievably slow loading of threads. 
I can't say whether it has to do with specific ads, but anyway, it's been like this for about a week now. Any thoughts from the admins as to the cause of this sudden change in transfer speed?

It could quite easily be the result of a sudden summer traffic influx (and not just on ACS).
It should resolve itself within a few days.

DanQ, glad to hear you think it'll pick up speed in a couple of days - that it's only temporary.

Legman,
Maybe because you have broadband at work and not at home?

No, that can't be it. The connections in question haven't changed from what they were before the slowdown. Also, other websites load as they used to, it's only Apolyton that's slowed down over the past week - and only from my home computer.

I've had terrible trouble accessing threads from my home computer over the last 48 hours. The pages just don't quite load.
It seemed to be okay this morning. What's going on? Could it be related to active banners like the UGO ones? They don't seem to allow a gap between actions for the page to load completely.

Very stangely tracerout (tracert www.apolyton.net) does not seem to indicate a problem when things come to a halt.Maybe the program (perl ?) running on the server takes to much time and so the server can not respond.Maybe when someone is making a new post the server needs to index other posts .That could be very consuming if there are a lot of posts like on the off-topic forum.
If the case was just low transfer speed if could be fixed by disabling images !But it is not !

At certain (peak) hours, I even get Internal Server Errors. Time for a bandwith upgrade, Dan?

It is not my decision (re: bandwidth), but I do know it is being looked at...
