Same for me. Almost unusable recently. And we have /very/ fast lines to the US.

I've been suffering general slowness, and several boards I frequent went down... maybe all those people downloading the Unreal Tournement 2003 demo? 
"I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."

you have been Slashdotted (a bit)
Celestia was linked in a discussion on slashdot.org, and because of it's many readers / users the site will be slower a day or two...
It was in a thread about a Demo disc of Open source - Software for Windows users...

The slashdot link is definitely the source of the slowness right now . . . 130,000 hits today so far and counting. That would be manageable, but a lot of the visitors seem to be downloading big textures, too . . . All this from a link on the discussion page. We're completely hosed if Celestia ever makes slashdot's front page.

Even my "poor little" Texture Foundry site is suffering: 1200 visits during the last 2 months and now another 1000 visits within the last couple of days.
Frightening;-)
