Forums running slow?

opethdisciple · 8 Jun 2012 at 23:39

Any one find there is a lot of waiting on the forums today?

I.e I click a link and it takes a few seconds for the page to be retrieved.

RomanNose · 8 Jun 2012 at 23:41

Nope.
Do a traceroute and see what's happening, open up cmd and type
tracert forums.overclockers.co.uk

Cleeecooo · 8 Jun 2012 at 23:41

Fine for me. However, sometimes I get the rpoblem you describe.

trigger-happy · 8 Jun 2012 at 23:43

your probably clicking super slow

MagicBoy · 8 Jun 2012 at 23:44

Nope, fine here.

Try upping your overclock.

Why is hop1 an american address and not your isp?

opethdisciple · 8 Jun 2012 at 23:55

Scrape the previous traceroutes, I was doing it from a website.

This is from my PC, using Google DNS:

Mine is running fine as always.

Dist · 8 Jun 2012 at 23:57

Sometimes around midnight I get problems with OcUK (and nothing else), but not always, and after a few min everything seems fine again.

opethdisciple · 9 Jun 2012 at 00:10

Everything else is running fine, just the forums seem slow.

Shayper · 9 Jun 2012 at 00:11

I seem to get a few problems with my browser taking ages to connect. Only happens on my uni internet (which is usually bloody fast, 100mbps)and my phone internet.

Both of which are unfortunately much faster than the internet in Norwich, which connects instantly but then takes ages to load said page

Scougar · 9 Jun 2012 at 00:12

From time to time OcUK takes a dump it seems and just bails. Leave it a few mins.. come back and all is good. (Even from my work connection).

This I'm guessing just after midnight it when they run there back up program?

Fire_fly · 9 Jun 2012 at 00:20

Mine sometimes runs slow, but it has always done it. I though it was just the severs being busy.

Jimbeam3678 · 9 Jun 2012 at 00:29

Funnily enough running a tad slow now

Disco Boy · 9 Jun 2012 at 00:38

No. Did you try restarting your forums?

Throrik · 9 Jun 2012 at 04:31

Re-install the Internet.
