tubenet speed

[RyanSchultz]

We recently reconfigured the internet at my house and now Tubenet is an incredibily slow site. Nothing else seems to be effected.

We just added cable TV and split the internet through a router. . .

Any thoughts? I'm playing and watching pages take 30-120 seconds to load! (I have the same cable internet I've always had.)

I second this one. PC has been trouble free since I got it. Run it at least once a month.

take note of the time and the exact page you triedto click. there is a bug in the software and some pages get stuck. I am can fix them if I know which ones stick.

I use AdAware and SpyBot at the office. They work well. You know who one of the worst offenders for spyware is? Yahoo.

Or, you could just get a Mac.

Shhh... if everyone did that... we would have spyware/malware/virus/assorted problems. I like be in the minority in this case.

Thanks everyone. Joe's suggestions were particularly helpful--thanks.

Sean, thanks.

Sean chides me every time I mention it, but that M&M ad not only interferes occasionally with download speed, but even effects my ability to enter text. The "STOP" button is an immediate and effective solution to that minor glitch, though. I'm sure my "curb treasure" 'puters don't have the ram that most new (even dept' store) 'puters have.

I am not chiding. When you and others first mentioned this way back when I asked them to resubmit an animated gif instead of a flash banner. They did, I swapped it out, and now it behaves exactly as any other animated gif.

Your difficulty is psychosomatic.

There are some advertising sites thatt are very slow to download or just downright annoying. I simply take their domain and map it to 127.0.0.1 in my HOSTS file, along with all of the other advertising stuff like googlesyndication, doubleclick, ads.chisham.com, etc.

Works perfectly and I don't need anyone's add-on package.

I've had problems with other PHP boards getting stuck. I hit the stop button and try to reload. If that doesn't work, I'll log off and try again.

On the other hand, if I could JUST get to the end of the tunnel in my mind...

looks like a virtual colonoscopy.

The flash ads don't seem to work well at most sites I've been to.

Actually...it's not the fact that there are so few Apple users out there...I guess the Mac OS X running system is just that flawless of a design. check this out! It explains why it is that it's sort of like that....

[RyanSchultz]

So it was stuff on your PC and not a problem with the site or your configuration? I have a Mac and do not normally have to deal with such stuff. That in mind, I get lazy about keeping up with virus searches. In the last 15 years I have only had one virus and never had any sort of spywear . . . that I know of . . .

But TubeNet gets quite slow for me too at times. (And then it speeds back up again.)

No, it was the split in the internet. I took the split out and now it works again. Joe's software is cool though.

Thanks everyone.

Aren't you going to really annoy the folks who own the 127.0.0.1 IP address when your browser keeps doing HTTP GETs against their server?

There are zillions of systems out there with the IP address of 127.0.0.1--any system with IP networking has the address 127.0.0.1. It's an alias for your own machine.
