Slow load times

Is it just me, or is Tubenet running SUPER slow? All the other sites I visit load just fine, and Tubenet is running as if I'm on dialup. Anyone else experiencing this? I've noticed this happening for the last few days.

So what I've noticed is it's not working in Firefox, but IE seems to be loading just fine. I've cleared my cache, but that's not working. Any ideas why this is happening?

I use FireFox, and its loading up very quickly for me, so it can't be that. I suspect the problem is on your end, but I wouldn't know what.

I ran Ad-Aware (Norton is run every night) and I deleted Firefox and reinstalled it. That seems to have done the trick. I will probably be asking for help again if it happens all over again.

Thanks for the input, though, sc_curtis. The simple fact that it did work on your browser really did help me out.

Ad-Aware is good. Maybe not the best, but really good for getting rid of spy cookies that really slow you down. We run it at the office in tandem with Norton.

SpyBot is also good, although at this point the others are getting good enough it is rather a duplication at this point.

I'm sure there are a lot better ones, these are the best freebies that don't try to put their own spyware on your computer instead.
