Website Speed

[Andy]

We have been having issues with speed being random for a while. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are in the process of moving to a new server that does not share internet speed with other servers. It also has a faster internet speed than what we have now. After the switch, there shouldnt be any issues ever again hopefully.

Thanks for hanging in there and we will keep you posted on whats happening.

Hey lem, what kind of server we running on?

[Andy]

Well, it just seems that the other night it was CRAWLING! I think it happens when someone on some forum is trying to upload something. Not sure. I'm still kicking it around. Some members on other forums notice it and sometimes people leave because of it. The server is top notch, but the internet speed at the servers location isnt so much.

We have a:

Red Hat Fedora Core 2
Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0 GHz
RAM: 2GB
Disk Space: 120GB
Bandwidth: 500GB a month

here is a good site to gauge speed (internet) on.

Take the Speakeasy Speed Test and test your connection speed! By measuring the download and upload rate from the following locations you are able to accurately judge your current line throughput or internet connection speed.
