Downloads Slow

  • Comment
Hi folks,

The downloads on the file server have been a bit slow lately. I wasn't aware of the problem and only got wise to the situation when someone informed me but, after close inspection, it seems a russian user was deliberately leeching the bandwidth off the same file on the site in order to saturate the connection on the server, slowing it down for everyone.

Certain measures have been taken to stop this from happening in the future and, now that I'm wise to it, I'll hopefully monitor the situation a bit more closely over the coming weeks.

Sorry for the problems.

    I am unable to open any pages past the http://www.tessource.net/ page using a normal connection. If, however, I use an Vidalia onion router to simulate a connection from Location:

    Karlsruhe, DE


    I am able to get to my content page but I am still not permitted to update my mods.

    I am hoping I am not being blocked for some specific reason and that this is only a temporary problem.

    As far as I know I have not broken any rules that would warrent my being denied access. If this is not the case let me know.

    8:07 PM 3/4/2007 now I have normal access .?

    Ok people; bug reporting 101: If you're having a problem I need specific details. None of this ambigious crap.

    If you're getting errors, what errors? Copy and paste the errors in.
    What pages are you trying to access?
    What is the current time of the problems?

    Please, for the love of all that is good, help me out and don't just give me general info. Specifics people.

    It's good to know that the speed is back up again. I'm just worrying that with so many more members joining every day that the downloads will slow back down again. I never seem to get better than 50kbps

    Seems very saturated at the moment just from large amounts of download requests. Will be looking into the issue over the next few days.

    I was wondering why I was getting slow downloads. Thought it was my internet. Thanks for fixing!
