   GameDev's Bandwith
  What's up with it? This forum goes whaco alot of the time now, like it takes its precious time to try and load something but can't or give me a 5?? error.   
  That's nothing to do with bandwidth. It's just shaky server software and/or hardware.   ;  As far as I'm aware the relevant staff (Don Thorpe and David Michalson I think), have replaced the faulty component. At the very least I think they deserve a "thanks" for their effort [smile]I've not seen any 500's lately.Jack   ;  I will say thanks to the staff for putting in the effort to put the forum back for everyone free...But I did get some 500's earlier today. I shall dutifully report any more I get if the previous problem is considered fixed then.   ;Quote:Original post by jollyjeffersAs far as I'm aware the relevant staff (Don Thorpe and David Michalson I think), have replaced the faulty component. At the very least I think they deserve a "thanks" for their effort [smile]Except it still seems to happen. Or at least, various kinds of errors still happen regularly (I've stopped noticing whether the're 500's or any other type). However, it doesn't seem quite as bad as it was before they changed the hardware.   ;Quote:Original post by SpoonbenderQuote:Original post by jollyjeffersAs far as I'm aware the relevant staff (Don Thorpe and David Michalson I think), have replaced the faulty component.

If they are still moving the tons of data over though, that may be the cause of some of the slowdowns.   ;  I'm not complaining, but I too got about 5 of a message earlier today that said "Your request cannot be processed.  This is because the server's bandwidth has reached it's maximum."  If they are transfering stuff, that would be the reason, but I was also getting that a couple of times the other day.Ah well, who cares, at least its not going down for like hours on end.  Always look to the bright side of things.
