(vanity) Is anyone else noticing that Freerepublic is loading very slowly?

[hecht]

[iowamark]

The hamster is tired.

[thefactor]

I've noticed.

FR wouldn't even load on my phone the last coupla days.

[Doogle]

had...note: HAD that problem for two days....seems to have cleared up this away....

[radiohead]

I couldn’t get FR most of the day yesterday.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Yes.

[SMARTY]

Yup...

[MNJohnnie]

No everything is fine. It is just your imagination. /S

I still can’t connect at all using Opera. I have to use IE instead.

[Retired Greyhound]

Are you logged on?

[Doogle]

I might add, I also did better using Explorer but now that it’s running better I’m back on FIREFOX

[mcshot]

Or the server needs oiling. Haven’t been able to get on for a few days. I’ve been lost and relegated to watching the oil leak.

FireFox takes forever and ever; IE is very very slow. Any PC gurus know why and what we can do????

I noticed yesterday on my droid also

My pages load in a few seconds. Seems a little slow, but nowhere near the week or two page load times you’re experiencing! That’s series.

[Man50D]

It’s been loading extremely slow since FR was brought back on line yesterday.

[lbryce]

I along with others trying to log on couldn't get on to the Free Republic site the entire day Saturday and had experienced the same problem you've expressed. I did see a post that explained the slowdown due to Free Republic switching to a new IP #.
You might want to do a keyword search using +New + IP #, see what you find.
I don't experience the downloading problems anymore.

It took about 36 hours to load as of Sat night.
