Subject: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: gnu Date: 26 Jan 14 - 05:10 PM BLAZING speed retrieving and posting? What has Max done? Someone alert Spaw. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: maeve Date: 26 Jan 14 - 05:34 PM Yep- fast here too. Thanks, Max. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: ChanteyLass Date: 26 Jan 14 - 08:26 PM I'm thankful! |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Doug Chadwick Date: 27 Jan 14 - 01:00 AM Much the same as always for me. I suppose there have been times when it was slower but it certainly isn't breaking any records at the moment. DC |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Jan 14 - 01:21 AM Still, it seems quite good, better than in several months. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Jan 14 - 02:03 AM Sorry I said anything. Now it's slow again... |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Waddon Pete Date: 28 Jan 14 - 04:52 AM I am afraid it is still slow on the other side of the pond. We shouldn't blame Max. It is probably not his fault.... Peter |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: gnu Date: 28 Jan 14 - 05:34 AM Fault? I have always been very thankful Max has managed to devote so much time and resources to keep Mudcat afloat all these years. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe_F Date: 28 Jan 14 - 02:38 PM It seems about the same to me -- slow coming up, retrieving threads, performing searches. Worth the wait, or I wouldn't be here. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Jan 14 - 05:53 PM 'Tain't fast today, that's fer sure.... |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: bobad Date: 30 Jan 14 - 06:39 PM Better now. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: gnu Date: 30 Jan 14 - 08:17 PM Well... depends on the time of day but, overall, it's a LOT faster for me. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 30 Jan 14 - 09:22 PM Nope. Not fer me. Slooooooooooowwwwww & often gives the 503 error when it hangs too long. I either never got a faster-phase, or else missed it. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Mr Happy Date: 31 Jan 14 - 07:16 AM Don't visit here so often but can't notice any difference whatsoever in load speed |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe_F Date: 31 Jan 14 - 03:57 PM After a couple of long waits for other threads, I thought I'd time this one. It came up in 2 s! So I tried it again: 19 s. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: GUEST Date: 31 Jan 14 - 06:15 PM Same happening here, Joe. Max'll get 'er done. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Bert Date: 31 Jan 14 - 09:22 PM I'm not giving up food for anyone, even Mudcat. |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Jim Martin Date: 01 Feb 14 - 06:49 AM Very slow for me too - but so is FB (has been snce start of year)! |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe Offer Date: 25 Mar 14 - 02:40 AM Max has installed a new server, but there are some bugs to be worked out. One bug is that duplicate posts and duplicate threads can be created, and sometimes tenfold threads. Then what happens is that some helpful Mudcatter comes on and tells the duplicate originator not to post duplicates. Please be aware that most duplicate posts and duplicate threads are created involuntarily. Your advice serves only to make you look foolish. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: MartinRyan Date: 25 Mar 14 - 03:09 AM "tenfold"? Think my record is about four! Certainly faster in general at the moment - I'll be drinking less coffee, I reckon. Well done. Regards |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 25 Mar 14 - 04:24 AM Oh, I did wonder at the 10x over thread, but certainly would not wish to appear foolish! Thanks to Max. Speed surely also depends on your ISP? Now on fast cable broadband, not like the old days of wearisome dial-up! But even that fluctuates by time of day or in-house traffic (when son comes round with smartphone and laptop both running while Dad is trying to watch live streaming rugby....) |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 25 Mar 14 - 05:12 AM Much better now... I saw the tenfold thingy and figured some glitch like that had happened. A VERY welcome new development, which will probably encourage more participation. Thanx Max ! |

Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Mr Happy Date: 25 Mar 14 - 12:51 PM Perhaps the concept of fast is different in US than in other parts of world? |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Max Date: 25 Mar 14 - 01:30 PM Not sure about that Mr. Happy, but I can say that mudcat.org is bound by a different concept of fast than other web sites. 95% or more of sites use a form of caching to handle heavy traffic and load times. Caching is like saving a copy of something and having it poised and ready to deliver in an instant. Due to the nature of our real-time conversation and thread list being loaded to see if anything is new each second, we cannot use caching. Each page view on our site is essentially a search of almost 3.5 million messages on about 100,000 topics we've collected and become in our 19 years. It takes our servers 2 to 4 seconds to process each request, of which we get an average of 75 per second. I am sorry if a few seconds is too long for any of you to wait for a specific piece of what took us 19 years to collect and organize. I will consider reducing the price of this service to compensate you for your dissatisfaction. Oh wait... |

|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe_F Date: 25 Mar 14 - 08:08 PM Sorry -- that should be 20 s. This time, about 10 s. |

Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe Offer Date: 26 Mar 14 - 01:57 AM I have a college student home on spring break. I haven't had such slow Internet service since Christmas break... |

Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: vectis Date: 26 Mar 14 - 05:28 AM Awesomly fast here in NZ |

Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Apr 14 - 04:31 PM I got this message in a PM from somebody today. Anybody have anything this person can check?
All other internet sites are working OK. Has there been a block been put on? -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Max Date: 02 Apr 14 - 04:43 PM How does one send a PM within a web site if their computer freezes whenever they try to login to it? |
|
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Apr 14 - 09:02 PM I wondered that, too, Max.... I just report what I hear, without comment. ;-) -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 03 Apr 14 - 09:17 PM Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes not there at all. |

Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat FAST? From: michaelr Date: 04 Apr 14 - 12:34 AM The usual, then. I'm not seeing much increase in loading speed (I'm on broadband). |
