1. How can you tell?

:shrug:

[IChing]

2. I couldn't get in and had no problem on other sites

I got the typical error page when we have high traffic.

[IChing]

3. Seems better now

[ElizabethDC]

5. I was having the same problems

for a few minutes at least - I hope it's over now!

15. I couldn't get in from about

noon to 12:45ish. And other sites were fine as well.

4. I've had tons of troubles today on DU

and on a few other sites. I thought that it was just me. Then I go to ebay and it's as fine as can be.
I assumed that we'd go to critical level 1 or 2 in the next day or so with all of the news plus the buildup to Friday.

6. seems as if this is happening a lot lately

slow slow slow or not at all most of the morning

8. The past few days I've suspected they may be having hardware problems

It's been slow off and on, sometimes to the point of giving me dial-up flashbacks. That's never fun.

7. I was locked out for over 20 minutes, no loading anything

9. I thought something was wrong with my computer n/t

10. I couldn't get in earlier.

I hate it when that happens.

11. It's because....

the only place Americans can get the REAL news is online. It's utterly disgusting the media is NOT airing the Senate Judiciary hearing.

[L. Coyote]

12. Correct. There was a slow block during the Sampson testimony ...

It took a while. I thought it was because I was streaming the video feed. If it was due to DU traffic, that is newsworthy!!

13. I Had Some Problems... Thought It Was My PC Because I Had To

have COMCAST out a few days ago, and now my "high speed" is WORSE THAN EVER!!!

They guys who came out were "great" though.... from BOSTON and I had just gotten back from the D.C. March and they were "like-minded" so that wasn't so bad. STILL, this friggin' Network doesn't seem to work so well where I live!

Oh, maybe they "have my number" or something???????

14. Then there is the Yahoo groups mail problem

repeat
repeat
repeat
repeat
repeat
repeat
repeat

16. I have been having trouble for 2 days. nt

17. Could Administration address this before the hearing comes back up?

or was it a glitch and not related to traffic?
