anybody notice dvdrhelp.com being slow lately?

In the past week or so, it seems the site is lagging a lot. It's not my connection, I have a T1 at work and 1.5MB Cable at home. Slowness at both places all the time now. I sometimes wait a minute for a page to load. I even ran ping/traceroute a few times and got similar results.

Hey Baldrick! Is everything okay?

If money's ever a problem, let us know. I know it costs to keep something like this running. I may pitch a few bucks your way if it is needed.

Just checking! Wouldn't want this online gem to disappear.

Yeah I have noticed that aswell and we are on T3 here at my office.

I'm trying to figure it out also.....I have just fixed optimizing the database and it helped a bit(the mysql process don't take 100% cpu now and then as it used too). But the apache/php process is still at 100% cpu almost all the time...I'm trying try to find out what pages that causes it. It is probably something I have changed lately....or maybe the new php version that I'm trying.

I agree it was kinda slow on my cable line. normaly the page loads up in less than a sec.

No slowness here on DVD-RHelp Forums. No problem even on an old Win98 computer on my network.

it has been a little faster for me lately :P

I think we are beeing dos attacked when the site is incredible slow. I checked the logs and found some ips that reloded the first main page several times per second.

I found an apache dos mod that I will try to install to prevent this.
