Http Server crouwded (or however you spell it)?

[TheDigster]

Hi, quick question. How is your webserver holding up? Because i'm wondering why your site keeps loading slower and slower (compaired to a few weeks ago) on my wireless HvA (school) account and on my crappy chello account in Amsterdam NL.. Is it something related locally here? or is the site just plain busy? Pinging resulted in not to shabby results so me thinks the latter?

I just wanted to say - works fast for me... but then decided to check the AviSynth forum first - oddly enough it took quite some time to load. But still has been working within the ok-> acceptable range for me :)

The news section sometimes takes a little bit longer to load, but in general it works fine.

The news section sometimes takes a little bit longer to loadIt should.. at the end of the month, the amount of data to be transmitted is considerably more than at the beginning of the month. There are 7 servers used in round robin fashion so you don't really know where you'll go.. since the servers are located on 3 different continents, it's only natural that if you are sent to the one the farthest away from your location it will take a bit longer than if you're sent to a server that's in the same country.

May we know which continents?
My guess is:
1)USA
2)EU
3)Asia

Never knew doom9 was global big :)

My guess is:That's entirely correct. Though when it comes to number of servers, number one and two are reversed.

ic, go EU *proud* :)
