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

[hecht]

for the last week or two it is taking a long time to load ( if at all) What gives?

[School of Rational Thought]

Yes.

It was down much of Sunday in total.

ya i actually just posted the same question, did not see this yet. I can not get it to load at all on my pc, earlier it was loading really slow. There are no problems on my MAC though.

Seems to be fine with me. In fact, my posts are showing up as soon as I hit the post button, where over the last few weeks, it was delayed in showing up in the thread.... Just from my uneducated view point.

Yes I have noticed, even diss-regarding all of the server crashes.

I thought maybe I was having a meth flashback...

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

I'm using Opera and FR loads like greased lightening.

DannyH crashed the kernel . . .

I think you're right! That was the thread I was on when FR went down at 2:45 am Sunday! He just wasn't getting the respect he deserves!

It’s because of the oil spill.

You nailed it ... Thank you ...

It's Net Neutrality in action.
All traffic has to be cleared by the WH.
We can only read one page of FR for each page somebody reads from DU.

Note: Today this is sarcasm. It may be real tomorrow.

I’m getting very worried.

[Kimberly GG]

I’d like to know if this is a legitimate problem we’re having or if someone outside is messing with the site?

It’s like having dialup again...testing my patience.

[Vinnie]

I’ve noticed it also. I can get to the home page reasonably fast but the ‘latest articles’ or latest posts’ pages take forever.
Been that way for 2 wks or so.

Yesterday FR was down all day. A crash.

The hamster is tired.

Here - have a new one!

Make sure you click around to keep him happy and well fed! ;^)

[Fast Moving Angel]

Way cool ... like having a pet hamster without the hassle or the mess. Thanks!

[SoothingDave]

It was down much of Sunday in total.

In toto, too.

[Cindy]

It’s either a slow load or down for me on both my servers in the last couple of days.

My husband, who has his own server is experiencing the same thing.

[Mtn Pass]

You bet,mine has been very slow. Couldn’t get in untill late Sunday.Slow today.
