Is the site slow or is it just my machine. I have time to make a baked dinner waiting for pages to load even on broadband

Bob, have seen the hourglass cursor more than once tonight on ISDN but then I have had problems with the router before that just is a slowdown situation until it stops so I couldn't swear it is a particular site............

Was/is very slow here in
sydney, to the stage earlier where it fell over/timed out, I'm on cable, other sites ok.
Seems to be back and running ok now but slow when you want to post replies.

We have been experiencing what appears to be some form of DOS attack on our specific site server today. It was coming from what looks like a search engine and it seemed to have gotten itself is a jam and started creating thousands of user sessions on the server all the time. The issue has now been stopped (not sure exactly how yet) so hopefully we are back and going at full rate now..

That was the way I found the problem occur was that the user list hit around 7000 at one stage today - I started deleting the records from the file and it was building the sessions back up quicker than I could run a delete. It does appear right now (thank goodness).
