I am in the Sticks and only have Dial Up net access , I find almost always the Page Loading Time here on the site is Slow at Best . My Speed is 45.2 Kbs , Yes Slow .

There are times to where I have to wait 2-3 Min's for a page to load . The whole system seems to just stand still & with a 3.4 Gig processor that is slow .

Any Ideas as to why ??? Can it maybe be a Loose Nut behind the Keyboard ???

I'm on broadband using Firefox and each page loads fast enough. Problem is, it loads twice!

**youniverso** · January 18th, 2007

I don't have any problem I using firefox and never had any

I use dial up and I don't have more than a 10 second wait on each page. When was the last time you did a defrag on your hard drive, or a virus scan ?

Tirconnell · January 18th, 2007

Mountaineer , I do a Virus Update and Scan daily , Also I defrag at least every 7-10 days and usually it is not needed but I do it anyway .

I definitely think it is something on this site that slows things down , as it took approx 1 1/2 Min's for the posting page to load after I clicked on Post a Reply .

Currently there is approx 60 or so people on the site . I wonder if it isn't the ebay add at the top-o-the page , trying to install cookies on my system .

I also use Firefox , but once you are on this site Firefox makes no difference , And Yes Broadband makes a Big difference , Ti's just when the only choice you have is Dial Up , One must make do with what is available ,,,

Well, I'm up to date on virus scans/defrags fo' sho'. I check out this site on two different computers, a three year old desktop and a smokin' brand new laptop with 2 gigs of ram. The pages here load twice on both. Latest build of the 'fox, etc.

Tirconnell, I have same problem as you, 45.2 speed. I blame it on the server because my puter almost stops, if I go off line and immediately go back on line it is a lot faster. As soon as I go on line, I can tell how things are going to go, I talked to the server and there is nothing wrong with their equip. Oh-well, put up with what I got.

Well Guy's eBay's cookies definitely slow the system down . And most-o-the time the page has to load 3-4 times before it pops up . And I am sure people out there with High Speed or cable have no problem with pages loading .

But Us with Dial Up are still in the dark ages . Maybe , Just Maybe , One-O-The Moderators will read this and put up a " What Net Connection do You Have " poll .

Be interesting to see the numbers of Dial Up users ,,,

**admindv** · January 18th, 2007

i'll work on this

Tirconnell · January 19th, 2007

I have dial up also.
My best speed is 49,333...which is a lot better than 45,200.
I might have to connect 10 times to get this speed.
I won't use any less...so I dump it & try again.
This has nothing to do with this site.
Also, it makes no difference about how many people are on this site at once.
I recommend you turn ON the pop up blocker for this site.
That will stop eBay & all others.
It will let the page load faster.
Another thing to try is clean out your history / cache / set cookies to dump after 1 week.

Tirconnell · January 22nd, 2007

Thanks Sat-Junkie ,

I do clear the history and cache often . And the site seems to load a bit quicker with the Pop Up Blocker turned off . I am now connected at 44.0 , Slow Dial Up ,,,

Does this mean you are working on the site loading faster?
Or, does this mean you are going to setup a poll so we can talk about how slow it is?

**carlos60** · January 22nd, 2007

I have Mozilla Firefox, is faster, enter here:

Firefox Central | Mozilla

Hey Mountaineer: What speed did you say you have? My pages here load in about 20 seconds @ 49,333. SJ

Sat Junkie,

Sorry man. I was serious. I just didn't quite word it like I should have. That was a bit on the sarcasm side...it's all good...relax, I like you man...
Please accept my apology. SJ
