Is Free Republic under attack? (Updates at #72 and #80)
Rolf

Posted on 02/01/2010 5:56:30 AM PST by ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY

If this issue has already been addressed; my apology. I did a search for the subject, but found nothing.

Is anyone else having problems accessing Free Republic lately? Ever since the SOTU address, it's been almost impossible to access the site. Usually, I just get sent back to my orginal website instantly. At other times, after a several minute delay, I'll get a "connection could not be made/server proxy error; site down for maintenance or heavy traffic.

I don't think it's a problem with my computer because I can get to any other site in a snap.

I would answer yes, but it rarely connects long enough to post a reply.

Can you see me now?

Unable to access for the past couple of hours. Even now it is sluggish.

traceroute and ping to freerepublic.com times seem about normal so I suspect it is not a DOS attack.

I would guess the web server application is in need of some nursing.

same here....I just got back on and was going to post a vanity post to say the same thing.

we are either under attack, or Jim ‘Thompson’ needs to upgrade his servers.

It’s been since before the SOTU address. I’ve had intermittent problems for at least a week or two before that.
