Does Bitcointalk have traffic problems? The forum is loading very slow.

[Muhammed Zakir]

It loads pretty quick on my browser(even on my mobile browser lol) I use Chrome. You should give a try to Chrome.

I have tried it too.

I don't think it is browser's problem as I can open it via VPN. I am still wondering how it opened when I used VPN.

i am also from germany and i had many problems with bitcointalk: slow, sometimes only half of the page loads, cert errors.

i had this with congstar (mobile provider) and telekom as isp.

but i switched to unitymedia today and btct is fast - never seen it that fast before and no errors yet.

waning conspiracy theory: maybe some isp's cripples this site by intent?

That's not a conspiracy theory. It happens among other things (like MITM attacks from ISP). However, I'm not sure why someone would do that with BTCT. The best solution is to get a VPN and get rid of such problems.
Occasionally the website does load slowly for me too but I don't mind because that happens very rarely. One has to understand that the size has a lot of users, a lot more viewers and probably a handful of people who want to attack it one way or another. If someone experiences problems frequently it is most likely to be a problem on their side.

i thought that too. but i had some of this problems (eh half loading pages) daily.
i had the same problem at my fathers house (telekom too) so i though it would be btct having some bandwith or cpu issues.

new isp (ok only until today...like 10hrs) no problems, and i have never seen this speed before (my connection speed didnt change that much; probably better route to the btct server though)

i will monitor it. but if theymos hasnt changed anything recently and it stays like that the next days i am convinced they cripple it: not sure why too

I've tested at least 4 ISPs in 2 different countries over the years (with and without VPNs) and I have never experienced any issues that others didn't have at that time (e.g. DDoS, 502 errors, etc).

interesting; 502 i got very rarely. half loading pages where common (at least for the last 3three month i got them daily)
