Significant improvement on late yesterday, but still seems slower than normal.

Agree.

Is the speed of the site Neelds fault? Or perhaps the boards? But seriously the name of the thread is a little misleading. I was sure it was referring to the dees playing list.

It's part of the plan to make Demonland the hardest site to play against.

For those having problems, how was it going on Sunday night? Looking at the data, that was when "stress" on the server peaked in the last 7 days. That was match day, so I'm assuming you were all online with torches and pitchforks armed as I was

Right now, it isn't under much stress at all (with ~600 users online).

Only so so .

Stuie was jamming up the airwaves with his funny photos that do things.

Everyone else was jamming it up poor old Mark Neeld.

Weekly meltdown.

I'm finding the site unusable at the moment.

I'm on a Mac Desktop with Telstra. Also unuseable on by iPhone with Telstra.

Can other also experiencing problems report what device you are using as well as your ISP.

Also let us know if your aren't experiencing issues and what ISP you are on.

Not sure if that information will help but you never know.

Been particularly slow for past week.

I expect it will help. It's absolutely fine for me on my Internode account (which uses the iiNet network), but on my Telstra 3G (tethered to laptop, so identical device basically) it is, as you put it earlier, SADB. As maurie said before, the server is hosted in Japan, and each ISP takes a different route to get there, so there's lots of things that can die in between. I suspect (hope) that this is confined to Telstra customers.

Edit:

I'm interested in hearing from *anyone* at the moment on what you're seeing. Let us know who your internet provider is (e.g. Telstra, Optus, Internode, iiNet etc) and how responsive the site is being for you at present.

A month's ban for anyone who I see in the "users reading this topic" list who doesn't respond to the above request.

Found the issue, it's network related (a piece of infrastructure between us and the server - seems only Telstra customers are on that particular path). Will follow up tomorrow - have a couple of solutions in mind, but this issue will probably linger a few days. Hang tight all - thanks for your patience.

Thanks 'Nasher', am on Telstra as well.

Please run with a "Rebuildind server, rebuild expected to last a further 3 to 5 years" gag or similar. That screenshot would make my day. (And I'm currently in hospital - ding my best to get a Jack Viney sympathetic moon boot - so cheering up is a good thing!)

Optus been fine for me.

Seems to be back to normal this morning.

So far so good.

Yep, I'm with Telstra and was having issues before but today it's responding fine

With Telstra as well. Unusable the last 3 or so days. Seems much better today. (Thursday).

Slow Bigpond ADSL.

Couldn't get on at all between 6pm and 12 last night. Lots of whizzing!

Seems fine now.

With Telstra as well. On G3 wireless, which reduces to around what dialup speeds used to be as soon as there are half a dozen mobile users connected, so I didn't notice the problem initially ... or at least until pages stopped loading altogether. Last night no connection at all. Now seems ok.

never thought I'd say this but

Optus if fine.
