Ausfish Server Issues???

[Poodroo]

Just noticing a lot of late that anywhere from 7:30pm onwards most nights that the pages become slow to load and even have troubles logging onto Ausfish often getting this message.

The connection has timed out


The server at www.ausfish.com.au is taking too long to respond.



* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

What is everyone else experiencing?

Thanks,

Poodroo

Yeah much the same message here to,just took over twenty minutes to load three pics into the wanted section,I thought it was just me because I'm on satelite type broadband.

Woefully slow here, on broadband.
Too many big adservers and banners....but, I'll get over it....
(and please dont respond with a post saying get Mozilla....)

same here, & once it times out i have to go to another site & come back 5 mins later as it is still hung.... & i have Mozilla

Just one of those things with the number of people looking at the site.
It's a bit like the line to the sheila's dunnies on a Saturday night in the valley.
Too many people all wanting to do the same thing.
Just look at it as a gauge of success.
A few neddy furums the cook visits are just the same.
If Ausfish wasn't so good you'd be able to do what-ever you want when you want.

Days are great

PS we have Mozilla too

Thanks, am aware of it. Mainly in peak times around 7pm.

Have another server upgrade planned. Will take about a week by the time the parts arrive and everything is swapped over.

Try logging on with dial-up, log on at night and by morning its loaded hehehe

lol webby. ADSL was at jimboomba when i lived there........i think they bypassed munruben mate and headed for flagstone instead!

Hey Steve, just a thought.....
Site was crap to log into tonight at 8:48 my time.
I noted that there were 200 members and 349 guests viewing our pages...
Whilst I know it can be a sticky point, how about changing the V-Bull settings to make voyeurs register to view posts?
The situation whereby you allow guests to view, and then make a decision to join would no doubt be gone now with this forum??? The 'client' base is huge.

would sort out the greenies and anti fishing mobs locking up server resources.....

other option is load balance across two replicated servers using an F5 box or similar??

What are you doing lining up at the sheilas's dunnies on Sat night in the Valley???

DR you really don't want to know.
Just turn around and pretend you saw nothing.

Waiting for the cook after a great Chinese chew and spew.
What else would I be doing??

[Simmo2]

Last few days have been shocking.
Noted the other night, at 'prime time' some 700 viewers....only 150 odd were members. The rest surely are bots etc.
How is the new server going Pete?
If I were on dial up, I would no doubt given up on Ausfish by now! Its bad enough on ADSL!
I notice the hang ups on actually displaying the site are whilst the browser waits for media on network etc... is there any way maybe to make them secondary to the main site? Or just get that big new server cranked up!

I have never had a problem at this end, always very responsive
