Is MT struggling for bandwidth?

[satans.barber]

Hi,

I've noticed in the last few weeks that MT pages seem to be loading really slowly at most times of the day. I'm on a 576kbit DSL line but even when I'm not accessing or downloading anything else, MT pages are only loading at 5-10Kb/sec which seems really slow, especially when there's lots of avatars etc. to load.

Maybe the fish are eating some of the packets when they go under the Atlantic

MT's moving about a Gig a day. We still have plenty of available bandwidth, but we hammer the CPU pretty good at times. I'm still researching a new data center. I ended up losing just under $200US a few months back when I tried getting a new box from what I thought was a reputable host. (They delivered a buggy, unsecure, incompletly setup box).

When you have the connection problems, could you do a few pings and traceroutes and send them to me please? I've had a few hiccups myself but they usually seem to be my ISP. More info will help.

Thank you!
Bob

Oh year....send to webmaster@martialtalk.com heh

Ah, if the CPU load on the server is high that'd explain it

We need a whipround for a dual 2.5Ghz G5 or something!

I'll try a traceroute next time it's slow but now you've mentioned it I'd hedge my bets on a laboured processor, which is fair enough.

Cheers Bob,

Ian.

A Dual P4 2.5+Ghz would be sweet.

The saddest part is, for what I'm paying now, I have specs for 3x the hardware at several other nocs...I just can't afford to eat the setup fee and a double billing for the month to move at the moment.

Time to buy some lottery tickets!
