Try doing

wget http://bitcointalk.org

three times in quick succession. The first two will succeed. The third one will stall, wget will retry, and then it will work.

This seems to be some kind of DDOS prevention thing, but failing after two tries is way too soon.  I noticed this because our web crawler at "sitetruth.com" thinks bitcointalk.org is down, or has no web site.

What's doing this?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Should probably be in Meta, but I noticed "weird" things today too like smileys not showing and the "coins" under the member names showing as ***.

Yes, I see. Even before he posted this topic here, odd  Huh


It didn't answer my observation, but it's back to normal for me.

Right, this belongs in Meta. I had Meta blocked and forgot it existed, so I stuck it under "Technical Support"
