For about the last 24 hours the audioheritage site has been slow to load, stalls, or times out. I don't have this problem with any other site on my computer that I can tell. It also looks like the forum traffic has been somewhat light, too. Is this a problem anyone else is experiencing or should i be looking for solutions closer to home?

Thanks. So far it's only been saving me money! ;)

Are you running any other programs on the computer that might be one of the causes?

If I was running photobucket not uploading if I just had it open on the computer I get some lagging, its those Emos you know, you know photobucket is part of that silly MySpace site and that site is slower than snail going at warp factor 10!:banghead:

Besides there’s not much traffic on this site its calm. If you liked to try Livevideo that site stinks its like no other lagging you’ve seen before, something to do with Beta format software I was told? Not sure what software this site is running?

[quote=JBL 4645;227743]Are you running any other programs on the computer that might be one of the causes?/quote]Thanks for the suggestion but, no, nothing running even in background. And it's the only site of many exhibiting the problem. Just started yesterday. Seems to be a bit better right now. Could be my DNS choice. I'm running Open DNS only because its usually far more reliable than Comcast, but I don't think DNS has anything to do with speed. :dont-know

I expect we'll see site traffic pick up, too, since in some cases I was unable to ever load the forum pages. The fact that Seawolf was having similar problems suggests it is not an isolated problem. Whatever the problem, it's great to have it working again.

LATER: well I'll be damned !!! there is a black ash tree

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraxinus_nigra

Ecology

It commonly occurs in swamps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp), often with the closely related Green Ash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraxinus_pennsylvanica). The fall foliage is yellow. Black Ash is one of the first trees to lose its leaves in the fall.
Black Ash is a food plant for the larvae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larva) of several species of Lepidoptera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepidoptera); see List of Lepidoptera that feed on ashes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lepidoptera_that_feed_on_ashes).

I have another theory as to the sites performance running slow, could be the server? But that would affect my end not just your end. Maybe I wasn’t on at the time even thou I’m online 24/7 now haven’t bothered to logout in nearly 3 or 4 weeks now?

Maybe I was asleep when the site was running slow and missed it?

Are they targeting us personally as suggested in this letter to the FCC:
http://www.comcast.net/terms/network/update/


How will the new technique work?

The new network management practice works as follows:
If a certain area of the network nears a state of congestion, the technique will ensure that all customers have a fair share of access to the network. It will identify which customer accounts are using the greatest amounts of bandwidth and their Internet traffic will be temporarily managed until the period of congestion passes. Customers will still be able to do anything they want to online, and many activities will be unaffected, but managed customers could experience things like: longer times to download or upload files, surfing the Web may seem somewhat slower, or playing games online may seem somewhat sluggish.

Bo,

Could be a peering problem somewhere on the Internet or someone is blocking something between backbone providers.

FYI: I asked Susie to look at it from Qwest DSL in Colorado Springs and the AH site seemed fine from there.

If it persists, I can try resetting BGP.

- Try browsing this site when "Logged Out" ( assuming you know your password to log back in ).
- Keep "cookie acceptance" turned "on" within your browser settings .

- Also, within a browsers' settings ( called "Web Content" within IE5 ), dissallow the site to "specify page colors" .

Browsing this way makes my experience here quite acceptable ( efficiency-wise ) .

Browsing this way makes my experience here quite acceptable ( efficiency-wise ) . It's not just the rendering of the page content. Many sites I visit are far more complex with more personal data, etc, involved in the display. It's the site/server just not responding. Sometimes the page will remain blank for as much as a minute. Other times the menu bar only will load and then it'll hang for thirty seconds and then slowly display the rest. Even while this is occurring I can open another window or tab to any other Internet URL and that one will load normally while the LH is still stuck. And it's not browser specific. I'm on a Mac and I can use Safari and Firefox at the same time and both will have the same problem displaying the LH site, and not have any problem with any other. Weird, I know. For instance, it took over a minute just to preview this post. While waiting, I went to Audiokarma.org in another tab and that site opened immediately.

I haven't been able to use the site for over a half-hour. I even called Comcast and they showed me how to access the network utility to ping. Ping showed no problem to Audioheritag.com, yet even while we were chatting, the forum pages were stalled, and had been for a half-hour. Even when an Admin PM'd me to ask me to change my "title", I was unable to send a reply, or to access my CP page. Then all of a sudden it went back to blindingly quick. Then nothing. This whole time I was able to scan, search, and reply several times on Audiokarma.org with no issue. Even check on my Ebay watch list. Crazy?!

I'm sending this now before the wole thing crashes again.

Guys and gals...

I pinged John Nebel and he and Ann have run many tests, and checked opertional status, and it is nothing on their end. My usage experience is now identical to yours - the webpage most often cannot load - but it is not a LH issue.

John oh-so-kindly recommends we raise the issue with Comcast, as he suggests it is a Comcast issue, and not anything larger, nor LH related. So, thanks to them for their taking the time to check.

OK, Comcast sucks. I get that. But it is weird, that, like you, of the many sites I visit either routinely or randomly doing research, only this one is impacted. :(

It was working perfectly for the last fifteen minutes. Now it's slowing down again.

As I said in a previous post today, Comcast says there's no way it can be them if it's only one site. If they do limit an individual's speed or access to the web from abuse of bandwidth, it limits all sites. That's not the issue here. It can't be Firefox, either, since when it happens I can switch to Safari with the same lack of response.

Comcast showed me how to access the ping test which I suppose shows speed to the LH server and that was fine. If you can explain to me how to do a traceroute (on a Mac), I'm happy to do so. (Edit: still working so I came back to say Apple Help shows the path through network utilities. I'll trace it next time it bogs down. Thanks again for caring about it.)

Hope this message gets through. Pardon my typos, I don't have time to go through previewing them now that it takes 15 minutes.

Yeah, sometimes thats how internet routing works ... a slew of net addresses can be funky through one ISP

But I don't know why you'd expect these two addresses to NOT work the same for you ... they are on the same hosting service ...
Basically that means your path to both of them is the same...

my "wild ass guess" (tho lots of past experience)

is an issue with Comcasts DNS resolution server ......you mite
get the IP of LHF and key that as a destination rather
than the common name, thusly bypassing Comcast DNS server, or
if on Windoze, you could mod the host file to make a permanent
local DNS lookup. So key "198.80.11.57" in instead of http://www.audioheritage.org

(I was working on my CCNA a couple yesrs back,but forgot most of it)

bottom line...NOT LHF problem.

I'm not sure that a telephone call to Comcast would yield much information unless they (1) performed actual tests (2) described the tests they performed (3) gave you set of conclusions and the reasoning behind them (4) the tests were independently verified.

Here is the routing from a few well-known networks to AH - this looks reasonable although the AT&T-Sprint NYC peering might be a bit congested.

This is completely random, and makes no difference if I access with IP or domain. It works great for a bit then completely slows to a stop. If a page stops loading, hitting refresh a few times will often cause it to load quickly. Mostly I'm just sitting and staring at the red "Lansing" banner and nothing else, then a thread will slowly load one post at a time. Progress bar always just says: waiting for audioheritage.org.

You might try connectingcolorado.com (use the quicksearch) and ancientmoney.org to see if those are slow at the same time as you observe that AH is slow.

It's ALWAYS slow. But I did, and they are too, although connectingcolorado.com loads quick cause there's not much on it. (no database)

When I just came to this site, the forum initially loaded in a split second, then as soon as I entered a thread it came to a screeching halt.

Does "they are too" mean that they are slow too?

Please use quicksearch on connectiongcolorado.com. What makes you think "no database"?

The site was running super hot all day. Now it's bogged down. Took me over a minute just to load one page of this thread. I'm running a traceroute now. I have no idea what it means, or how long to run it.

Edit: but it posted this reply quick enough with no stall.

Trace hit your firewall and died. You need to allow ICMP (ping, traceroute) outbound.

And I'm not going to mention how well the site's been working because I'm sure that will be the kiss of death. :applaud:

Bo,

One of the things we considered in this "what happened to AH" puzzle is that the connectingcolorado.com site has seen extreme usage due to people looking for work; that system also sends out notification e-mails for job openings many of which are requested by Comcast customers - perhaps some automated system within Comcast has flagged the 198.80.11 network due to its activity. Comcast may be trying to moderate bandwidth to benefit its customer base as a whole without regard to any particular set.

Jenny, who works for the State, noticed that she was having trouble reaching connectingcolorado.com from home as did Nan who works on the software behind that site (500K lines of code and HTML). Nan noticed the response time was fine on her private T1 and both she and Jenny concluded the problem lay with Comcast although, to give Comcast a break, it could be one of their peers.

In a long thread on the DSL bulletin board, users were having problems with gmail, whether it were Google, Comcast, or peering, no one appeared to have a definitive answer.

Hi, John...

Thanks for the continuing efforts to help the suffering rationalize their frustration! I've gone to some lengths with pings, traceroute, etc., and cannot find anything diagnostic (to me). I've also compared to connectingcolorado.com and ancientmoney.org - no comparable issues, but I'm not on them as frequently. I need to await another bout of Slowski here and test them.

I enjoy ancientmoney.org. That is fantastic. :yes:

You give way too much credit. Rationalizing frustration is well beyond me.
