Anyone else having trouble getting DU to load tonight?

[winter is coming]

I can get in on sync or upload, but not www.

[Cha]

1. No, but I feel ya.. when it was going on May 9th for days!

[winter is coming]

2. Yeesh. Thanks for the rec.

It's the weirdest thing... sometimes it will load, but slo-o-o-o-ow-ly, other times it will go straight to the "connection was reset" message, other times it will work, but only for a minute or two.

7. I say take it to ATA.. that's how I found out others were having the same problem when I

thought I was the only one.

15. Often I have to hit reload to get a page to actually load. nt

22. Even reload isn't working for me. Nothing happens. All other websites are working for me.

3. Yes--again

Same thing: upload, but not www.

5. I had to go through "sync"

I just started having trouble about five minutes ago.

[winter is coming]

8. I've had it off and on for several hours, but up until about 10 minutes ago, I'd get one bad load

and then things would be okay again for 15-20 minutes. Suddenly, it's much worse.

[freshwest]

24. Same pattern here.

[DJ13]

6. It took a minute to load when I first came on this evening

Reloads and displays new threads just fine since.

This is on www.

[shenmue]

11. I did too

Le sad.

[ancianita]

12. Yes, I did for about five minutes. West Florida location. Probably server 'issues.'

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Yes, I had a couple of bad minutes when it would not load.

It finally loaded.

Yikes. Serious withdrawal.

[winter is coming]

14. Maybe one of the servers took off for a make-out session with Grovelbot. n/t

[Behind the Aegis]

16. Yeah. I am on "election" now.

Server issues again.

[defacto7]

17. After the week from hell...

I am having no problems at all now.

Maybe the trouble has migrated from the Qwest/CenturyLink lines to other points.

[JDPriestly]

18. I did.

[snot]

19. Often.

[madokie]

20. I've been having that problem for what seems like months now

sometimes DU loads good most times its slow as all get outs.

[freshwest]

21. Yes. And it's not Qwest/Century Link for me, either.

[littlemissmartypants]

23. Some minor issues here but I'm hoping it's

The NSA lurking. "Maybe they will learn a thing or two" as Gran used to say.

Love, Peace and Shelter. Lmsp

25. Here is what Flying Squirrel posted the other day

I've tried betterment and now trying sync and both seem to load DU faster. My question is is there a problem with using something other than www?

If you have CenturyLink and can't load DU
Please rec this thread to the moon, to help CenturyLink DU'ers who have not been able to read DU for A WEEK NOW!



Try the following links:

http://betterment.democraticunderground.com
http://election.democraticunderground.com
http://metamorphosis.democraticunderground.com
http://sync.democraticunderground.com
http://upload.democraticunderground.com

(no www before them)

If one works, don't assume it will always work - you may have to jump around - I certainly have had to do so.

Do the Koch brothers own CenturyLink? Enquiring minds want to know!

28. "My question is is there a problem with using something other than www?"

My understanding is that www is a generic point of entry, DU's front door if you like, and it passes the request off to other, specific servers to actually load the page. So you might get your page loaded by betterment if you used the www address but you definitely will get betterment if you used the betterment address. If lots and lots of DUers used betterment and no one used election, betterment would bog down, while election would still be fast. In general, if you don't have to ask for a specific server to get in, it's better to let DU's software pick the server.

26. I had some trouble last night. Took several tries. Seems ok now...knock wood~!

Hopefully whatever the problem is, they will get it sorted.

I hope it isn't a Denial of Service attack.
