Ahhhhhh!
for the past week or so, i have given up looking at the forums
They just keep getting slower and slower... :evil:

Today i waited two minutes to change to a forum page
then i only read two new posts, then gave up on the rest :evil:
then i came to this section and clicked to post this rant
which took another 6 minutes :evil:

Have you tried doing a tracert to see where the slowdown is? For the past few days I've had unusually good performance (about 100-120 ms to http://www.shatters.net). Maybe it has to do with the time of day and what else is going on on the net...

I could do that
But you would have to remind me on the run command, if you wouldn't mind
as its been ages since i did this once before.
But I forgot the command to type ?

tracert is a CLI command. In other words, you need to type it into a "command window." There's an icon for the CLI window buried somewhere in the "all programs" window. It's a box that looks something like
[C:\]
However, I find it easiest to open it from the Run command.

Specifically:
Open the Start menu
Select the Run menu
In the new Run window, in the Open: field, type
cmd
and then either [Enter] or select the [OK] button.
In the new "command window", type the command
tracert http://www.shatters.net

It'll probe each of the network routers between your system and shatters.net and tell you how long it took to get a response. It'll look up the name of each of those routers, too, which can take a while. Eventually it'll list http://www.shatters.net.

Does this help?

Yep. Thanks Selden, I remember it now

Ill try it the next time things get really slow again
as it seems to be intermittent.

Ill try it and see if I can find what is causing the problem.

Hi Darkmiss

Some tracert data usable for comparison collected during forum slowdown experimented in Italy are already available in the thread
