super slooooooww

seems this website is getting slower and slower and slower. I sure hope you guys can step up and crank out summore bandwidth ...even with a sponsor membership the fastest i could ever download was about 300k ..and even then its really really delayed. So one can't tell me its because the site is free ...its slow either way.

I find this website spectacular, but even the best websites in the past have faultered because of poor bandwidth. I realize that pictures take some bandwidth ..but the file is stored on another server...

maybe im being too picky ..but the last time i checked ..broadband is becoming faster and faster ...while this ..and many other good websites are becoming slower and slower.

so, if the hosting servers for files ...even the freebies are bogging you down ..why not start your own server for uploads ..similar to that of the others around?

Our servers are connected to a fiber connection with a thruput of 1Gbit. Speed shouldn't be an issue, are you sure the downloads are from our servers? not from links in the forum?

I don't suffer from these problems

I was told I was a premature ejacu......oh sorry wrong topic.

SUPER DUPER FAST FOR ME !

Works really fast for me too. No problemos!

Fast enoguh i guess

for once in choochoo7777's life he isn't quick...just wishes he was

Some people are never happy.

Not super slow here...just super!


Oh, btw Diz, can I get a raise?

Can you put a number on "super slow". Are you talking about speeds over, or under 150KB/sec? If it's under 150KB, the problem is surely on your end. I hope your're not complaining about something between 150-300KB/sec, WBW has 3million page views per day.

it works fine for me...

well ... i have fiber optic to my place downtown here and have a 25meg connection ... which in reality translates to about 2.7 megabytes/sec optimum download speed.

there often are times here ... say from noon to about 10pm central time (when im checking out your site) it often takes more than 30 seconds to load one page of a forum thread.

When downloading a movie ..even at the fastest ..was 230k with premium membership.

3 million visitors a day ..wow ..thats a crapload .. like i said ... a fantastic site ...

but for comparison ... if i'm downloading a driver from say Nvidia .. it generally says its going 1.5-1.9mb/s ... which is hauling ass.

As far as the fiberoptical connections to your servers ... you can have dial-up speeds with fiberoptical ...or you could have 1000 t3's ... or anything in-between...

My entire point was this .... in todays day and age ... 10meg connections in metro-areas are quite common ... 250k downloads is kinda ice-ageish ... especially for a paying member (which i was upto a month ago).

Lastly, I realize you have what appears to be ZERO advertisment revenue ... that combined with 3 million views = hellafied bandwidth ..with zero advertising revenue ... i cant imagine the hosting cost really. But ... my suggestion ..if you are making decent coin with this website ..as I'm sure you are ... maybe put another 10-15% into bandwidth (something you could purchase only at peak usage times).

As this is the place for feedback/suggestions ... thats my honest and straight forward suggestion. This is probably the best website for this sort of thing I've ever run across ... but my suggestion is simply to make sure it stays that way... and not some ill-conceived ignorant flames from people that have no forethought as to what I'm actually saying or suggesting.

300k is slow? Try a few years on a 26k dial-up, you whiny fuck.

Yeah dial-up is teh suck.

yes 300k is slow ..its not even enough to run the most intensive online games ..its not anyones fault you had 26k ... sounds like you either: a. should have moved or b.invested in broadband much sooner.

and if you find it necessary to flame me for making a valid and worthy suggestion ..fine ... its for the good of all involved.

In the age of 600usd video cards ..and 1200usd processors ... faster speeds is not to much to put on the things to look at list.

It's all fine for me. Currently, my download speed is so fast that I'm not even getting to see a progress bar for files smaller than 2MB.

I get your point: I hate waiting for loading a forum page because the images don't get through. But a) in the forum this is usually because the image hosting sites are too slow / busy, and b) you probably live in the wrong time zone. 1/3 of the members are from the US and probably surf at the same time as you. Consider moving to another country
