Connection speeds - something wrong with the server?

[rxmd]

Yesterday at some point RFF was displaying the "could not connect to database" error window for a while and then started to be really slow. Since then it has been serving up pages at a crawl. Is something wrong with the server?

Not to slow here 5 or 6 seconds to see this message uploaded opps more like 25 sec

I have been having problems too - I have often been getting database errors in the last couple of days.

Same here in Oz - other sites, both local and international, seem OK.

Me too. Can't connect sometimes.

 

[biakalt]

yes, RFF has been slow indeed, for the past 30mins

Also here. Every link requires multiple refreshes to finally load.

I've seen the database message 4-5 times on Saturday and Sunday, posting a message takes an age (failed a couple of times)

 

[Nigel Meaby]

slow here too and sometimes getting the "could not connect to the database" error

 

[Keith]

Godawful here as well!

Getting home after a day away and catching up on threads was an excercise in patience!

Same here, very slow and "could not connect to the database" error sometimes.

I'm glad it's not just me!

 

[anthony_semone]

this loadup took 28" FWIW, www.stevehuffphoto.com is showing the same delay. Not so with www.fredmiranda.com or anybody else on my list
