Slow To Connect To Neowin

[+Gary7 Subscriber²]

The last hour or so it has taken me as long as 1.5 minutes to connect to the forum. Are we having problems?

Same here and the site is rendering very strangely.

Yes but once I do connect it seems to work fine. Posting takes some time though. I cleared out all of my cookies and did the CNTRL-F5 thing but it did not help.

Yes, I'm having the same problem :(

It's better now, lightning fast (Y)

It's been working great for me for the last hour or so.

I saw some slowness earlier (during peak hours), server was probably just overloaded.

Works fine here.

I'm getting them myself

I don't know if this is related but when I am on the main page, I get the error page that comes up when the site goes down telling you to goto the IRC, I refresh and it goes away. I click on a link to go else where on Neowin, and I get the same error, refresh and back to normal.

No problems at all over here. I've been using NW back and forth for past hour or so...

Just wanted to add that I am getting a few IPS Driver errors as well, just within the last 5 minutes. I even had one in the recent forum activity area.

Been having that behavior intermittently since yesterday, both front page and forums.

It tells me there's been a database error, and after a few refreshes the page eventually loads.

been getting IPS error today, whatever that is!

i use k-meleon 1.5.2 and i've been having problems as well. usually i can't load pages (or it takes an extremely long time for them to load), network timeout errors, ips driver errors. this makes it almost impossible to browse neowin.

when i try to browse with internet explorer, pages freeze for 5-10 seconds or so. i can see from the task manager that the cpu usage jumps up to 50%.

Apologize in advance for bumping an old thread if I shouldn't have, its not that old.

Last few days, about a week or more even maybe, browsing Neowin forums has been a struggle. It seems fine and super fast bout 70% of the time, but then I just get pages that take foreverrrr to load, load all messed up with no formatting if they do, or just get this timeout error, constantlyyyyyyyyyyy.

Connection Interrupted

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

I've tried adjusting different stuff in Firefox, no pipelining, ipv6 on and off, no adjusting of connection limits, and just using another browser entirely, Google Chrome (official version not the dev version) and IE8 (that ships in Win7 beta). Having exact same problem in every browser no matter what I do.

Before say check firewall/network settings, I have, and, Neowin is the ONLY site I have this problem with.

Its becoming reallyyyy irritating.

I've had problems with the site for some time now but I blamed it on my browser (Maxthon) what happens is it takes several seconds for a page to load but after it does it freezes there and my browser is completely usless until it lets go (usually 20 to 30 seconds if I don't click on things longer if I do). The only other places I see this type of thing are sites with very aggressive ads that try and force their way thru the popup stopper or something. If when the page is frozen, if I click too much the browser becomes completely unresponsive and will not come out of it. I suspect that either the site is trying to show ads that my browser fights with or the site might be infected with malware. There are some really sneaky and troublesome site infections floating around. Within the same page, like editing this post, theres no problem it just happens when changing from page to page or opening the site to log in.

I am still suffering from excruciatingly long load times about 70% of the time, sometimes the recent forum activity box doesn't load at all and other pages will load with what seems like no formatting from the CSS.

Starting to wonder if something is up with Windows 7 or Firefox :/

No, I am having the same problems at times. It is probably due to heavy traffic on the servers, but that is just a guess.

Does anyone from the staff ever read these posts?

[NoneAvail]

Yeah it's slowing down again here on my end. Posting takes a good 30sec to complete. Arghh

[fix-this!]

very slow here too all of the sudden.
