Slow page loads

robx · Post by **robx** » Mar 11th, '08, 01:47

Is it just me or is others having this problem also?

Everywhere else i go is fine, only d-a is slow load and sometimes does not load at all. I have tried getting on d-a from several other computers ( 3 other from home location, 3 other from school campus location), they all are having very slow loading time on d-a, or does not load at all.

You're not the only one. Been experiencing this today and last night. In United States as well if that helps.

Eh.. I was having problems earlier too with the page loading really slow but it should be back to normal.

robx · Post by **robx** » Mar 11th, '08, 02:21

i have just been recently getting this the last 2 days. I have had no modification, software, hardware added onto my pc. So i really wondering what it could be and if there are more out there experiencing the same thing.

I can attest I was having the same problem this afternoon.

The page loads are REALLY bad in Hawaii. Tried it on three ISPs - same results on all of them.

Glad it's not just me. Slow loading + frequent timeouts, it took me three tries to post a message a while ago. This just started happening to me today BTW.

Though the wiki pages are still lightning-fast, everything else under the d-addicts domain seems affected.

I think it's the Apocalypse. Everybody get their last words out now...

I love jholic.

Really, though. Glad it's not just me. I kept resetting my router, closing my torrents, sweet talking my browser, anything to get D-Addicts to go faster : /

robx · Post by **robx** » Mar 11th, '08, 06:03

Oh my goodness, it took 1 hour and about 100 retries to get here. Hope this gets fixed soon.

It's the penguins! They are coming! Albeit a few years earlier than expected... Oh well. The result will be the same. All the infidels will be fed to orcas or turned into rotting fish! Praise the Great Penguin! Repent sinners!

But anyway. Right in the middle of Europe, same problem Talked to a friend of mine in Japan, talked her into just loading the site (she usually avoids such places), same problem.

Good to see it's not just me. I was already wondering "did my ISP crap out on me?" cause last year, when I changed to them, I had MASSIVE problems for almost a month.

Did another ship bump into a data cable somewhere in a random ocean?

Peggy · Post by **Peggy** » Mar 11th, '08, 08:05

Slow for me also here in S.California. about two days ago when it slowed down. Now it is 1 a.m on Mar.11th and I hoped it would be quieter and faster. No luck.

I think it's global Warming melting the heavy layer or something.....MAYBE ?????

No MUST BE !!!!

this too shall pass.

Same here in Australia. Slow as and takes 100 refreshes to get the site up.

been having problems too since this afternoon..
what could be the reason.. is it really the penguins.. lolz..
hope it gets fixed soon...

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » Mar 11th, '08, 10:48

I have had the same problem for the last 2 - 3 days. Usually it doesn't load on the first try, then only loads on a refresh and verrry slow, almost a minute to come up. This problem is with D-Addicts only.

Nonbirira · Post by **Nonbirira** » Mar 11th, '08, 11:06

Haven't had any trouble until this morning but now it takes FOREVER to load - if at all. And it's only d-addicts! Relieved to find it isn't just me! Oh, I'm in Japan by the way.

Ruroshin · Post by **Ruroshin** » Mar 11th, '08, 12:16

Apparently the log file reached 2GB and caused the server to really slow down whenever it tried to update it. Anyway, made a few tweaks. Let me know if it slows down again.

battlegirlai · Post by **battlegirlai** » Mar 11th, '08, 12:44

whatever you did, ruroshin, it worked ^_^ thanks!

and i don't need an apocalypse to proclaim my love for jholic! have more faith in yourself, trance. nothing ventured, nothing gained, you know? ^_^

hmm i can access it easily with IE.. but i cant load at all with firefox.. i dont know why ><

rairai · Post by **rairai** » Mar 11th, '08, 12:57

it's okay now.. wheee..

robx · Post by **robx** » Mar 11th, '08, 14:08

It is back to normal. YAY, it all started for me 2 days ago, well 3 now, but it was slow, then got slower, then slower, then it suddenly stopped loading most of the time. That is a huge freakin log too, 2GB?
Its no wonder the server would take forever. Must have been a huge load on the machine to try reading 2GB every time someone did something lol.

I'm running into the same problem on my Apache installs. Apache doesn't work nicely like IIS, where IIS creates a new log each day. Did you find a way to do the same?

Post by **MoerkJ** » Mar 11th, '08, 20:56

doing the logrotate daily instead of weekly would fix that.
i think last time we had to switch from monthly(?) to weekly.
you can also turning off the standard access logging and just log the errors & warnings.
all that depends on site traffic of course

Like MoerkJ suggested, logrotate daily would improve it somewhat. For D-A I just turned off the access logging altogether and just kept the error logging.

Seems the same problem is cropping up again.

Nonbirira · Post by **Nonbirira** » Mar 12th, '08, 22:27

Yep, same here. Was fine for awhile but now just as slow as yesterday - if it loads at all.

robx · Post by **robx** » Mar 18th, '08, 01:51

its been very hard to browse d.a recently. strange thing, i had to double login to get logged in.

tsurashi313 · Post by **tsurashi313** » Mar 18th, '08, 01:58

Before I was logged in, DA was acting really slow and then when I wanted to log in, it five tries, but after I logged in, DA returned to normal.

Or maybe it was right timing?

Also whenever I am downloading from a torrent here, DA acts slow... ?? Maybe that's why its slow for me sometimes but I highly doubt its the reason though.

furransu · Post by **furransu** » Mar 18th, '08, 10:20

Still very slow and times out consistently. Not sure why or what is the cause but I hope it gets corrected soon.

Parab · Post by **Parab** » Mar 19th, '08, 14:31

The same with me.
Started may be one week ago. From time to time opening is very slow, then suddenly it gets ok - in a matter of seconds or minute, then again very slow. And sometime the pages cannot open at all.
I hope it will get better!

almost EVERYTIME I had to double login to get logged in. strangely, not this time though. =\

page is still loading very slow in my part of Australia, although it is better than the last 2-3 days where I gave up after refreshing it 10x and still wouldn't load.

Takekaze · Post by **Takekaze** » Mar 19th, '08, 17:00

Currently I consider myself lucky when it loads at all.

Well, a classic OTK (over the knee) spank might work, then again... it's a server so maybe not.

abcd99 · Post by **abcd99** » Mar 19th, '08, 17:59

It really depends. Sometimes it's really snappy. Sometimes it's really slow. When it's slow my Firefox says "Connecting to static.d-addicts.com..."

Based on windows xp pro
You can attempt to add static.d-addicts.com to your host file.

go to My Computer -> Windows -> System32 -> drivers -> etc
Note that the existing files in this directory does NOT have extensions.
Open hosts file with any text editing software ( I use notepad )
at the bottom add
127.0.0.1 static.d-addicts.com

Note: If you have a router and static dhcp address assigned, use the ip assigned by your router instead.

It may or may not help. I have just inserted it into mine and so far so good.
Good luck everyone.

wannaberich · Post by **wannaberich** » Mar 20th, '08, 01:13

I had problems loading d-addicts recently also. Just upgraded my new internet security, which identified a vrius. After this installation, I have no problem so far...the speed is much faster than what I had experienced these past few days. Don't know if you have the same problem, but just thought I share this with everyone.

Bodhi · Post by **Bodhi** » Mar 20th, '08, 01:32

I haven't made any changes but the site seems back to normal for me. I found this on slashdot don't know if this was the cause of the past few days of problems.

ISP Dispute Causing Connectivity Issues for Customers
from Slashdot by Zonk
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "A peering dispute between Telia and Cogent is causing routing and connectivity problems for many internet users. Cogent shut down their connections to Telia over what they described as a 'contract dispute' over the size and location of their peering points. Telia attempted to route around the problem, but Cogent blocked that, too. This has caused a lot of trouble for sites which are not multi-homed. Groklaw, for example, is on a Cogent network (MCNC.demarc.cogentco.com), so any Europeans connecting via Telia can't get through."

Interesting. But, I don't believe it is a routing issue. During my troubleshooting, pings to www.d-addicts.com (same server/IP as static.d-addicts.com) were really good. It is just that access to port 80 (the http port) lags. I tried using my web sniffer, and, as someone else indicated, it does point to static.d-addicts.com. I believe static is just an alias within Apache. It appears that the www portion of Apache is responding with decent speed, but not static. From what I understand of Apache, it should be generating separate logs for each virtual site. Therefore, it could still be logging issues on the static virtual site.

Just to report - today everything is fine. Pages are loading with the usual speed.
It seems that the problem has been removed.
