GTPlanet has been very slow to load any of its webpages for me today. Other websites are fine, so I'm wondering if you are experiencing any trouble or if maintenance is being done. Thanks!
 
gtplanet.org has all you need if theres downtime or server issues. Currently its ok for me.
 
It's been slow for me too. Might be something locally, I'm about 100mi from Pittsburgh.
 
It is likely a local network issue with your ISPs - everything's been fine with GTPlanet's infrastructure today. If those of you who are having problems could paste your trace route results here that may reveal the problem.
 
This seems to be linked with the slow load times.

Happens at least once a day. :confused:

I honestly don't know what you mean by "trace route results" (Yes, I'm a technology noob). I tried clearing my browsing history to speed things up, so I may not have it. I have Verizon as an internet provider, if that helps. GTP is working fine now.

Trace Route is a command you can do in your windows command prompt that shows where your connection takes you before it gets to where you are going.

The command is "tracert"

Code:
[SIZE="4"][B][U]To use the tracert command in cmd do this.[/U][/B]
1: Click Start
2a: Type in cmd in the search bar(for vista/7)
2b: Click run and type in tracert(for XP)
3a: Right click and select run as administrator(vista/7)
3b: Hit enter(XP)
4: Type in this command in the command prompt tracert www.gtplanet.net
5: Wait
6: Right click and select Mark and then highlight the text from 01 to the end on the tracert results.
7: Hit enter to copy
8: Post here[/SIZE]

If you did it right you will get something like this.

My connection has to go through 19 places before it comes to gtplanet.net.

Also try this command ping 72.251.193.205

Which will give you this.

This will show your latency(ping or delay) since I am in Australia 250 is normal for me but I have gotten 500 on US based servers before which is high.
