Title: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: Jaime Frontero on June 08, 2011, 09:28:44 PM is it just me and my evil comcast ISP - or is this system getting overloaded?
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: mewantsbitcoins on June 09, 2011, 03:50:09 PM No - not just you. It is very frustrating.
Is it just a matter of buying few more boxes or something else? Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: Jaime Frontero on June 09, 2011, 03:54:28 PM No - not just you. It is very frustrating. Is it just a matter of buying few more boxes or something else? i duuno. maybe a co-location - a server elsewhere? is there a donation addy to help out for something this specific? Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: error on June 09, 2011, 11:37:14 PM I find when using HTTPS that it is very slow; when not using HTTPS it runs fine. So I think a better CPU is called for.
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: theymos on June 09, 2011, 11:53:16 PM Someone on IRC said that lighttpd is bad with HTTPS. Maybe that's it.
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: mewantsbitcoins on June 10, 2011, 01:06:20 AM I've not been using https lately, but browsing this forum today was worse than choosing death by scrotum hair plucking
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: Dobrodav on June 10, 2011, 02:03:21 AM Not using HTTPS, - forum becomes slower and slower everyday.
I am don`t mention mess in sections of forum, that is mentioned before, in other topics. Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: soul4soul on June 10, 2011, 02:15:13 AM forum is slow for me!!! sometimes it will just stop loading and stays on a white page making me have to reload before i see the page. its not my computer either.
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: error on June 10, 2011, 02:50:09 AM I prefer nginx to lighttpd. :)
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: yellowknife on June 10, 2011, 03:05:23 AM I'm got experience with finding ways to get better performance out of LAMP platforms. This could be a mysql performance issue or a web server issue. Either way there are probably steps you can take to delay the need for more hardware. If a forum admin wants to contact me send me a PM, I can probably help.
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: Dobrodav on June 13, 2011, 04:05:22 PM Forum becom even more slower, by twice, that week ago. Should i with my pitty 7 BTC, declare bounty on this, or some BTC reach man will do something about that ?
And i am do not mean - " Oh that forum is overcrowded, - we, real old and reach BTC owners should move on some other forum, and hide that forum from other public" You, - for shure can do this. But you will left alone in this new shiny forum, - like year ago. WTF ? It tooks month to some of you, to take actions that slightly regulate the forum rules. Did we should wait for other half or year, to regulate overload of BTC forum ? Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: mewantsbitcoins on June 13, 2011, 07:33:44 PM People, we really need to fix this. It's becoming unbearable.
I know we have record numbers on the forum, but I think we should be better prepared for such occurrences. If it's a matter of money, I and probably many on this forum would be willing to chip in for a new server/bandwidth/whatever Please, let's address this problem! Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: gigabytecoin on June 14, 2011, 04:29:06 AM I don't get the reference but I wholeheartedly agree with you.
It took me about 20 seconds for this page to load on a 100mbps dedicated connection. Whoever is in charge of this forum... increase it's server power and increase every bitcoin forum member's productivity! Also new user take up... Studies show that if a visitor to a "new" web page has to wait more than a few seconds they will usually hit the back button and forget about it. Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: SgtSpike on June 14, 2011, 04:46:08 AM Simple - use a different forum.
I might have a suggestion as to which one to use as well... ;) Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: lemonginger on June 14, 2011, 09:37:42 PM are we even on a VPS or just commodity hosting? What about moving to the cloud?

This will show that the server is sitting somewhere in rackspace who actually bought out theplanet a while back. Code: IP address: 174.143.149.98 Their NS are hosted from a finnish webhost (louhi.net redirects to louhi.fi). Code: Authority records Going down the list...you will see that they are a customer of Slicehost. Code: CustName: Slicehost Slicehost is a VPS provider that gets their servers from rackspace. Code: RNOCHandle: NETWO1456-ARIN Yeah, I'm a networking guy. I love my stuff. :D Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: lemonginger on June 14, 2011, 11:13:07 PM awesome, let's take up a donation to upgrade the damn RAM or get on a dedicated box. Should probably also get memcache and/or APC setup.
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: theymos on June 14, 2011, 11:34:30 PM The CPU/memory/disk load is actually quite minimal. Something else is wrong.
Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: dust on June 15, 2011, 12:44:43 AM It is slow for me using plain http. I would also be willing to chip in a few btc for server improvements.
The CPU/memory/disk load is actually quite minimal. Something else is wrong. This leaves bandwidth. Could that be the problem?Title: Re: forum is slow as owl snot in january... Post by: lemonginger on June 15, 2011, 04:08:27 AM The CPU/memory/disk load is actually quite minimal. Something else is wrong. Really? Having hundreds/thousands of simultaneous users browsing a forum usually results in a pretty substantial number of requests. In any case, APC wouldn't hurt if it isn't already installed.

Could that be the problem?propagation delay. the load needs to be spread out geographically. two more physical servers, in two other widely separated locations - with load-balancing set up for closest connection... |
