SpankMe - Is the KB server on a real go slow???

[crashe]

For the last two days, the KB server is taking ages to upload.

All my other browers are loading up real fast.

Im on at either 48,000 or 49,333bps.
Yep I am on dial up.

But its taking so flaming long to even get the thread open or to even add anything to a thread.

Is this happening to anyone else??????

[thehollowmen]

I'm on DSL and getting upwards of 75% packet loss to kiwibiker.
It has been a few websites that have been causing me trouble over these last few days but kiwibiker has been very slow :-/

Hope you can get it fixed with minimal fuss!

Is this happening to anyone else??????I'm on Jetstream and everything has been A-okay lately. A week or two back I experienced some issues with the site being very slow but it was soon rectified.

Go Jetstream, you'll never turn back to 56k! :yes:

[justsomeguy]

Really slow my end too....... I'm on broadband. Other sites load immediately.

[NordieBoy]

Yep, very slow...

[2_SL0]

Im on Jetstream, its slow. Other sites are fine

[Kickaha]

KB is the only site I ever have problems with

[k14]

Same as above, getting really slow load times. On 256k bitstream and all other sites load fast as.

[oldfart]

if it were a pooch I'd shoot it - very slow - running on 1 cylinder

Only if you can afford to go Jetstream....lol.

[Hooks]

Yep me too ... I'm on jetstream but every now & then KB barks like a dog !!

[Storm]

Same thing here

[sAsLEX]

Im on at either 48,000 or 49,333psi.
Yep I am on steam.


I see your problem..........

[WINJA]

I LOOK AT LOADS OF PORN WHICH LOADS UP FAST I HAVE NORTON ANTI VIRUS AND ADAWARE WHICH ARE UP TO DATE AS I KNOW THE PORN SITES PUT STUFF ON MY PEWTER , BUT ITS JUST KB LIKE IT WONT GO TO FORUMS OR ACCEPT MY POST OR FREEZES THE COMPUTER , IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FIX THIS?

[Coyote]

Look at more porn, get out of here :-p

[StoneChucker]

Go Jetstream, you'll never turn back to 56k! :yes:
Thats a load of codswollip (sp.? hahaha)
The bastards at Xtra, and I'm assuming others, restrict all p2p traffic. So, you can't use file sharing programs! (I like to share my family photos with my nana in SA :whistle: )

Or, have they wised up and stopped that shit yet? When I was with Xtra, they still did it.
Why can't it be like the US (I think?) where you pay a fee, and get FULL RATE, unresticted (speed and traffic type) internet! On proper lines with the right modems, you can easily get a 2MB line. 128KB? Gee, thanks alot telecom/xtra/whoever... Whatever will I do with such speed.

[Zed]

Thats a load of codswollip (sp.? hahaha)Not sure what on earth you're babbling on about SC, but for me, going from using a dialup modem to Jetstream is like upgrading from a 250cc to a 600cc...once you get a taste of the speed you never want to go back! :yes:

[stevedee]

Fine hear telstra clear 256k, no worries

not mine!!! when I share my photos and movie with nana I get full speed with DC++ and bittorrent. A movie on torrent takes about 2.5 hours DL time

what was it again TELECON! Need a fuckin gunmint with a pair of balls bigger than helens to deregulate the telecom industry so we can get ahead of thrid world Internet and phone speeds

Then whats the bird?? 2Mbit?

HEY, if I'm babbling I'm doing well - so no wisecracks :msn-wink:
I was on Jetstart (oops, there might lie the difference...) and decided to change back to dial-up. I guess dial up suits the type of surfing I do.

[Zed]

Then whats the bird?? 2Mbit?Umm...the technology for that speed ain't here yet! :D

[Ixion]

Yeah, it's fucked (note the use of the precise technical term here). Problem's with a site called cogentco.com. Data to and from the kiwibiker site goes through a lot of connections (routers and god knows what) at that site. and it's showing VERY long ping and tracert times, and heavy packet loss. So, basically , data is taking forever to get through that site (sort of like the Auckland Harbour Bridge), and a lot of it is getting lost - which means it has to be resent, so things take even longer.. Need a heavy word maybe ?

[sAsLEX]

Umm...the technology for that speed ain't here yet! :D

pretty sure it is!! http://orcon.net.nz/products/bitstream/ yip first ISP i tries near the bottom!

[SpankMe]

The server is running fine and no-one in the US or UK accessing my SV site is reporting any problems, so I guess it must be one of the many servers between here and ServerPronto in the US which hosts my server that is causing the slow network response.

[scumdog]

Yep, been really slowww here for a couple of days, mainly on KB (my main site).

[Ramius]

I have noticed it with a lot of internet sites. I use Orcon Broadband here and many sites, especially this and CNN take forever, on most days. However, it can't be just Orcon either because I have a friend down in Christchurch (yes, I do have friends :drinknsin ) and she is getting the same issues. When connecting for a video conference either one of us would keep dropping the cam connection. :whocares:

But on the good hand, LIMEWIRE is downloading crap like a rocket, that is when I am not browsing. :niceone:

Yep. See the long times and stars on those xxx.cogentco.com lines ? Sometimes the times go out to +1000 and lotsa stars. Don't know who they are but theyre between us and the kb server, and they're slow.

[Hitcher]

Umm...the technology for that speed ain't here yet! :D
You live in the wrong city! 2mb delivered to the door here, and connected up to at home yesterday courtesy of TelstraClear's fibre optic network. Now I just need to get the email sorted...

[Hitcher]

Kiwibiker was down all last night? Couldn't make any progress between 6:00pm and 6:00am.

[John]

Kiwibiker was down all last night? Couldn't make any progress between 6:00pm and 6:00am.
Yup, spank sent out an email to everyone:


Kiwi Biker server is down and a fault has been submitted to the service provider.

We will try and get the site back up as soon as possible.


Its still getting there, still having a few time outs.. (but that could be the american routers or sumin, telecoms peering is playing up atm to)

[Hitcher]

Yup, spank sent out an email to everyone
Changed ISPs yesterday. No mail at home yet.

[bugjuice]

Telecom own all the phone lines and everything to do with them in NZ, apart from parts of Wellington and Christchurch. The stupid fuk-wit commisioner was BS'd into thinking that NZ would go down the drain if he forced Telecom to open up the lines to competition. So the best he did was to force them to wholesale to competition instead and resell what Telecom sell. Utter BS.
Now this thing with jetstream, competition is now allowed to resell jetstream, cos the commisioner wants to boost broadband uptake in NZ, so this is how he thinks it'll be done. Which is total BS. Telecom overprice and restrict the service. Utter BS.
And at the end of the day, all competition is doing is reselling Telecom. Telecom still own it!! And the margin for the competition to survive on? fuk all. Stupid commisioner and stupid Telecom.
/rant

[SpankMe]

Well back up again and on a new server they told me. But how can you tell. Maybe they just switched off the old server for awhile :blink:

[Lou Girardin]

I LOOK AT LOADS OF PORN WHICH LOADS UP FAST I HAVE NORTON ANTI VIRUS AND ADAWARE WHICH ARE UP TO DATE AS I KNOW THE PORN SITES PUT STUFF ON MY PEWTER , BUT ITS JUST KB LIKE IT WONT GO TO FORUMS OR ACCEPT MY POST OR FREEZES THE COMPUTER , IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FIX THIS?

So that's why you type in caps, only using one hand.

[crashe]

Thanks SpankMe for doing all you can to keep the site up and running.

Yep, it is a real pain in the butt when it loads up real slow....

Since Im stuck at home for the next few weeks doing nothing I am using the comp more and more... when it isnt too uncomfortable to sit that is.
So Im on this site a lot more.....lurking.

All ride safe out there and keep on smiling. :ride: :ride: :ride:

[Zapf]

I think its a Telecom issue. I heard from up stream that Telecom has been doing routing changes all weekend hence it was really slow, but not sure why it stopped totally yesterday.

I have tried connecting to KB thru a few different providers and all the same.

problems seems to have been from [cogentco.com] was getting over 1000ms tracert's

Was rooted. Then was totally fu**ed. Now is good. Blame Telecom, cos we hate Telecom and they are good to blame.

That is most probably the best technical weenie bullshit to english quote I have ever seen :niceone:

2mb....errrr

We are on 10mb 50 /50 assemetrical ( now I am not a computer person so ,,,, ) and most people here are on 40 ,,,,,and in the last 6mth 100 has come down to 1900 yen a month cheaper than th 6500 we pay now ...( ive been saying to the boss ( wife ) we should change


BTW isnt telecom owned by the people still....Stuff , trade me and this site load up slow on my computer ....seems like the wire out of NZ has a corroded conection ,,,needs a bit of CRC on it

How can other people transfer data to to other countrys when the average is 2mb .... :no: :puke: ...ie Sending a funny advert from the tv ..or a large file .....

Telecom ( and especially batandball or what ever your name is .you need a good :buggerd: then a good :bash: on the bonce .......

Reading Zapf's post it says to me that it died OUTSIDE NZ. On the weekend it was 10 hops (via telecom) to leave the country from where he started the trace.
Last night (via telstraclear) was 6 hops to leave the country from where he started the trace (and it died), and now it is 8 hops (via telecom) to leave the country from where he started the trace.

That right?

Yeah, the problem was outside NZ. But we'll blame Telecom anyway, cos they are evil and we blame them for everything

Thanks Ixion :killingme wish my computer would phrase it in that way. All I get is "you have performed an illegal operation" and it makes me wonder how it knew that :whistle:

You want to watch that doesnt happen agaoin. I mean, who wants to go thorugh the cold sweats, the nervousness, and all the angst. Better to keep logging on for the daily hit

[pete376403]

Telecom own all the phone lines and everything to do with them in NZ, apart from parts of Wellington and Christchurch. ..... Telecom still own it!! And the margin for the competition to survive on? fuk all. Stupid commisioner and stupid Telecom./rant

Stupid commisioner sure, but with Telescum doing around $2 mill per DAY profit after tax, don't say stupid Telecom. Rapacious Telecom, Evil Telecom, Bastard Telecom but never stupid.

[thehollowmen]

Is this happening again?
I'm getting 75% packet loss to KB, and it has been going on for the past 20 or so hours...

I'm getting withdraaaawl symptoms.
I'm even contemplating going to the BRONZ meeting to get my fix

[SpankMe]

Sites running fine.

[Lucyloo]

Mines running really slow too!!!
I may have to do some work if this continues!

[thehollowmen]

Sites running fine.

Really odd. Might have to work out what's happening here in the SI then, as uni, work and home connections seem to keep timing out to KB and running really slowly when I do get on.

oh well... hopefully it is just high user load :-)

[Flyingpony]

Running rather poor from Chch.
Slowly getting better.
Might be a Telecom problem?

[erik]

It's going really slow for me too at the moment.

Other sites seem to be working ok.

[inlinefour]

Every so often I get the same thing. KB on go slow. Must have something to do with the servers getting a real hammering? I'm on jetstream also, but hey, we are all lucky to have such a great site :clap:

[SpankMe]

If you try using a US proxy (216.159.37.58:80) things will run better. It's just accessing the site from NZ that seems to be the problem.

Telecom needs to sort out their routing.

[Mooch]

From London many NZ sites are running slow or timing out over the last couple of days. I'm getting long delays on mail sent to a couple of my USA from NZ accounts , UK to USA is fine so must be paths out of NZ at times, KB is running fine (hosted in the US ?)

How do I do this please ???

[zadok]

Jetstreem has been mentioned. What is the download speed?
Keep an eye out for ihug as iinet here in Perth have bought them out. iinet are now the third largest telco in Oz and offer the fastest ADSL2 on the market. At the moment it is possible to get 12,000kbps, I'm getting 5,316kbps. They are smart cookies and wll no doubt do some great deals.

[placidfemme]

Yeah mine is going incedibily slow too :( Takes me about 5 minutes to open up one page... makes it not worth it... :(

*is why I've been so quiet and not posting much the last 3 days*

[Firefight]

yeah me too, at home about 5 mins to open, other site no problem, at work no problem ?



F/F :ride:

[justsomeguy]

Me too ......:cry:


It's horrible :no: ....making me go....:weird:

[SpankMe]

I'd change server providers, but the rest are more expensive. I prefer a server in NZ, but like most things, it's either not available here or way more expensive.

I don't get any problem at work, but they use IHUG here. My XTRA connection at home has the slow response problem thou.

Anyone with IHUG getting a slow response?

[White trash]

Using Ihug and it hasn't been too bad really.

[pete376403]

A pity Telescum can't utilise some of that $900 million net profit they are reporting to get their crap networks running a bit better.

[Warr]

......... My XTRA connection at home has the slow response problem thou.
.......
Jetstream at home is running better tonight

[crashe]

Yesterday morning was a shocker for me...
It took up to ten minutes to upload some pages...

And for some reason it said on this thread that I was trying to open. It kept saying 46 gifs to download... well after 20 minutes of waiting for this thread to open I gave up, as it was still saying the same thing.

I was able to get in last night for a few hours then it played up again..
but today its runing ok again.

Im on Xtra.
