not only is it slow speed wise, but still claiming no views/votes on my Destination entry although voting started over an hour ago.

What's interesting is there is almost x2 the amount of guests logged in right now...
340 peeps logged in...yup it's going to get slow.

i've noticed this has been happening a lot lately. perhaps some bandwidth usage management is in order. maybe a cap on instances/seeds/processes... depending on what server dpc is run on.
paying members get priority, followed by registered users, then guests. |

Yes its slow but what about the voting - it's 2,32 and 1 view and nothing else..are people actually able to vote or is nobody bothering due to the impossible slowness?

I think I figured it out....every new challenge, the early voters are always low voters....mean voters. This must be a conspiracy to stop them from being able to vote!
Right before the slow down, I did get the "site temporarily down for maintenance" - maybe D&L are the conspirators! |

| 3 hours ago, I tried to log in, took 45 mins, then couldn't go any further and I have high speed. Up for middle of the night snack now. Still slow but better. |

It's caused by all the bandwidth being used up by satelite transmission as opposed to landlines. Must be some heavy duty voting going on somewhere in the world outside North America.

I know exactly why these things happen to servers:

This same thing was happening in April, I think it was. I think the solution was to do away with the forum search. The site would be running at a normal speed for a few minutes, then down for a few minutes, same as is happening now. I offered up my solution back then that there's a faulty router somewhere along the line, probably not a very expensive or difficult thing to find & swap out. There must be some high-end techies who can give some opinions. Heck, it's definitely not due to increased bandwidth use, I don't think the use increased THAT much over night. It just feels to me like a router is periodically bogging down & dropping packets for a while, then picking up again, so swap the damn thing out & be done with it, holy crap!
-edit..... or maybe a faulty NIC in the server. Is DPC on a server farm, or a single server?
I'd like to hear some opinions from techie experts (I'm not an expert, but I can always find a way to fix stuff that's broken, and something here is broken).

| It's not a network/router/nic problem: The machine is otherwise responsive, but HTTP (even 1.0) requests are slow. I'd lay my money on mysql as the ultimate culprit, although you can almost always work around its lameness. |
