The slowness!

rjenson,

Our datacenter experienced extremely slow response times today, as you can see from your ping results (I was also getting the same times from here in Kentucky). Although I don't have confirmation from them yet on exactly what was causing the slowdown, it looks to me like most all of their traffic was being routed through only a few connections, causing extreme bottlenecks. Try a ping again, you should find everything back to normal. Our server itself has been running great and the problems today were no fault of its own.

For the record, GTPlanet is on a Dual AMD Opteron 242 server with 2 GB of RAM and a 160 GB hard drive, running Fedora Linux.

I had some problems when the new server came online, but it is as fast as it has ever been for me.

Has your attempts to connect just slowed down, been slow for awhile or always been slow?

It's still kind of slow for me.... I had to switch to GTP Lite, so it would be as fast, as it was before......

I noticed right away today that GTPlanet is running much smoother. So are we on the new server now? I see that you're saying we're on a dual Opteron. Here are my ping results from this morning:

Code: 
rob@4300:~$ ping -c 3 [url]www.gtplanet.net[/url]
PING gtplanet.net (205.209.148.120) 56(84) bytes of data.

3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2931ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 79.901/81.366/83.580/1.625 ms

Still not as good as the bbc :ouch: but quite a bit better, nonetheless. I'm also proud to see that we're on Linux. Even though I mostly use Linux, and when I'm on Windows I use Firefox, I still wouldn't like GTPlanet to be responsible for something like the latest major IE exploit ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3840101.stm )

Good job on the site, Jordan, keep it up! Oh, and it's rjensen, no 'o' in the last name :sly:
