Subject: RE: Oops -From Max
I am trying like hell to figure out what is going on with speed. We have done tons of tests and have found nothing. I have changed several things in the last day or so, so it may be somewhat better. Also, I have now an anonymous ftp server in a different location to try to offload some of the heavy usage from this site. Also I am in the process of offloading all the images on the site to speed up the forum and the searches. These things should help too.

I think what is going on is just popularity. I watch the web hits come in and we have 3 to 5 simultaneos hits all the time... 24/7. So we are very busy and bandwidth seems to be the issue. Offloading the images and downloads should help.

Please keep letting me know how the speed and such is, there is really no way for me to tell except you telling me because I am working on the machine that contains all this stuff so it is always fast as hell for me.

Thanks
