Running slowly this evening

[Danny]

CC seems to be running very slowly at times this evening (27 Nov)- one time it even timed out when I tried to move between forums.

Me too, took ages to even get a response. Happier now though .

Server locked-up at around 18:35 when memory usage went through the roof.

It's been restarted now and I've lowered the memory limit which should hopefully help.

Cheers,
Shaun

Is it running slowly again or is it just me?

 

[Shaun]

No, there's an on-going issue with the server that I'm working on.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

 

[ColinJ]

Same issue tonight, or are you breaking 'improving' something else?

No, there's an on-going issue with the server that I'm working on.

Wrong kind of snow?

Been running slow for me tonight though it seems to have improved in the last 5 minutes.

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is saying its me but its slow for Colin as well

In a funny sort of way I'm glad it's not just me that's a bit slow tonight.

Seems to have gone back to normal now, have we had a visit from the Gremlins?

Aye, it's been running slowly here, but probably not as slowly as I've been cycling.

Desperately slow this morning but, as above, has picked up significantly in the last 5 minutes

Seems to be some but not all threads.

We're being overrun by a spider-bot for a Chinese search engine called Baidu - which is very aggressive and is using up all the server resources by flooding it with too many requests at once.

I need to install some software to combat it (block its access to CC) which I'll hopefully do tonight.

In the meantime I've reduced the number of simultaneous requests the server will handle, which will lead to a bit of a pause here and there as requests are queued, but it should make CC usable - hopefully!!

Cheers,
Shaun
