Is the forum on a go slow today?

[Somafunk]

I’ve noticed the page hangs every time I've tried to load a new page and often returns an error, is there work going in the backgroun?

 

[fpitas]

I just refreshed a few times, no problem. Maybe your connection is slow?

 

[Somafunk]

Nothing to do with connection, only this forum at the moment on IOS 17.2 on iPad

The internet being what it is, there may be a server between you and ASR that's acting up.

Possibly, I do live in the arse end of nowhere in Galloway Scotland. Perhaps the internet is blocked with all the debris being washed into the drains.

Where I live, "high speed" internet is by wireless connection to a receiver on my chimney. I feel your pain.

I’m seeing the same thing here in Cambridge (just north of London for non UK folk). Broadband speed test shows 150Mbit/s so that’s
OK.

 

[Somafunk]

Perhaps a us/uk server issue then, my broadband is currently at 34Mbit/s

It’s normal for me.

I‘m just back from mums and tried loading ASR on her iPad, same issue with ASR, not with other websites from the US/Europe etc, either I’m jinxed or there is a blocked internet pipe somewhere that leads to my area in Scotland.

I reckon it’s possibly UK wide - still issues for me. Perhaps other countries adjacent also?

maybe you just got shadowbanned/geoblocked, did you take a leak onto someone's lawn here lately?

 

[bloodshoteyed]

but on a serious note, on almost any OS you can do a network traceroute from yourself to the host you're visiting (either by name or IP), there might be a temporary downtime on a hosting site strictly from your overseas connection hub (probably Ireland fpr you guys towards a cloudflare cluster on the east coast od the US, for me it was mostly originating from a french site)

Hmmm?, would hammering frozen sausages into a mods carefully coiffered garden lawn count?

 

[blackmetalboon]

I’m UK based, albeit the sunny rainy south coast. The site has been absolutely fine for me today.

 

[LTig]

It’s normal for me.

Not normal here in Germany but it happens more and more often since maybe one or two months.

 

[Blumlein 88]

Same as LTig for me. Not normal, but there are days now and then when I have the same problem and my connections are fine, internet fine etc etc.

Could it be related to data scraping exercises such as this one?

 

[Blumlein 88]

When it happens to me, it happens from any machine in my home. Also appens on my phone over the cell network. Which may be miles from my home. I'll get nothing, then maybe get a slow load, and slow response when switching forums. Might last part of a day, then it is normal.

I checked the system performance for last 24 hours and there are no indications of any slowdown. Likely it is a backbone, ISP issue. Keep reporting them though in case it is a problem with the origin server.
