Site seems very slow.

[amarsh64]

Hi All , For a  month or so  now the forestry forum has been  loading very slow from my home pc. I only go to the sawmill section to see what's new. All other internet sites that I go to load fine. I have lots of net Speed with Starlink . Anyone else having this problem ? VPN on or off is the same . Btw I have tried multiple browsers with cache and cookies deleted and no change.
Thanks for any info.

I gues I should have read doc Henderson's post right before mine . 
Guess I have my answer.

It has been slow for me about all day......still is.

May be a stability problem as well, click on new posts, it shows up, then jumps to home again, after several tries it will hold.

[amarsh64]

Still super slow. Does not matter what time of day. Oh well , I guess it will right itself eventually .  

[JD Guy]

Same here. I've been offline for a while due to some health issues and just now being able to catch up. Happy to be back though!

[Onthesauk]

This morning it timed out, now just really slow

[amarsh64]

Seems semi normal today so far. 
Fingers crossed.

Lightening fast this morning!!!

So a couple days ago, a member accidentally erased one of their picture albums from the gallery. If you are seeing posts with missing pictures, this would be the reason why. I've been working to restore this album from one of the backups, but it has been proving slow going because I was running into a speed problem trying to download the 40gb backup file with it dropping to 5kb/sec shortly after starting the download. I Finally threw up the white flag after checking all the culprits I thought it could possibly be and getting nowhere.

I decided to ask for help from the server hosting company. The IT gentleman got back to me a few minutes ago, and I believe he has killed 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak. I'll just paste his msg here, but this most definitely fixed the download speed for getting the backup file local so i can retrieve the album, and also seems to have fixed the speed issue with the forum bogging down.

Hello Jeremy,
I believe the network on the server might have been getting rate limited. When
the server was set up originally, it was set up for a 10Mb (10,000kbit)
connection, with 100Mb (100,000 kb) burst. Your server is typically using
~1250KBs which is 10,000kbit (or 10Mb). I'm thinking that the download would
start fast, and then shortly after our server would see the average bandwidth
was going above 10Mb (the commit rate) and would force everything to slow back
down. When you would reboot the server, it would stop the traffic just long
enough for the average bandwidth to drop down below the 10Mb commit rate.
I've gone ahead and changed the connection on your server to a 100Mb line with
1Gb (1000Mb) burst. I believe that this should fix your issue.



I am hoping to get the missing pictures up and restored by late this evening *fingers crossed*. Also, if anyone would let me know if you have noticed any changes in speed for the better since early afternoon today.


Have a great evening everyone!

Seems faster to me now.

[WhitePineJunky]

Seems faster to me now.

Same here holy smokes it's way faster as of today this past couple months has been very slow for me 

[thecfarm]

Much better now!!!
Thank you!!! 

[YellowHammer]

I am seeing much faster throughput.

Like when we first got 10/100 Ethernet and some devices had trouble auto negotiating and folks would be stuck at 10   were you paying for 100 this whole time? I smell a big credit on the bill coming...

[thecfarm]

Booming!!!!

Ya know, its totally aggravating when ya struggle and struggle, worry and work for hours and days and long nights looking for a solution to a problem and you find out that someone, and this is the same someone that just dumped our files on the server and charging us $$700 on the changeover, doesn't do the job you were counting on them to do.  One little tick on a selection not made.

[Magicman]

Off and on slow today.

[Nobohdy]

Is anyone having trouble posting this evening? Dad says he is having all kinds of problems at the cabin trying, but ive no issues. wanna know if anyone else is running into the same issues that he is, currently?

[beenthere]

Not having any problem. Sorry to hear the boss is though.

Things working OK this side of the World. I had one timeout earlier today, but otherwise it's worked fine. 

I can see how being cut to 10mb would be painful    Site being scraped by Google etc would use all your bandwidth, probably all the time. 

Obviously bandwidth costs money, but you should be getting what you paid for. We pay a bit more for a 950 / 500 gb connection here, which is frankly overkill for a home account. If I'm downloading large files, like disk images or games, the bottleneck seems to be the slow hard disks I have, not the Internet. So basically I can't saturate the fiber link, even from fast servers like Steam, because the PC can't write to disk fast enough.

The FF is working well up here in Manitoba.
Posting, loading and ads are all behaving as per normal.

[beenthere]

Can't help the speed of the boss's internet service when quotes of large images are included in our forum messages, such as nativewolf sent this morning. We can help the forum out with prudent use of the forum, seems to me. No disrespect intended here to anyone.

Everything has worked fine here for the last few days.
