Has DU been crashing for anyone else?

[WilliamPitt]

Twice in the last hour I've come here and gotten the busted page message. Is it me, or is it the site?

[Coexist]

1. it must be the site

because it happened to me several times when I popped in to check on what's going on.

[rockymountaindem]

I've had that too.

[bryant69]

2. I got it too

For about 10 minutes

There's probably an extra amount of traffic today with all that is going on.

What's going on? Even with the London bombings, do we really have THAT much traffic? Are the freepers invading again?

I am on Foxfire and shifted to the Blue E, and no luck. So I went and made myself a blueberry smoothie, and it was back on. I'm sure it is because of a massive influx of traffic.

[Botany]

35. Not want to sound tin foil but ......

..... some people see the blogs and the web as a threat ......
maybe server problems maybe lots of traffic or maybe "they" are
trying out new technologies to gain control over what "they" fear.

I learned my lesson in Ohio last year .... we were ready for a repeat
of Florida 2000 the but thugs had moved on to new scams ......

[Tommymac]

43. Yes - overall I-net slowness today....

Hotmail has been up and down all afternoon too.

My guess is the whole net is clogged due to today's events.... you can get an internet traffic report here - right now the global traffic level is 76 - caution level. (0-100 scale, 100 is excellent connectivity speed):

53. lots of crashes for me

We've had severe power outages in New Orleans area -- the most since Hurricane Betsy -- so I wasn't sure it wasn't just a local BellSouth thing.

On edit--had to alert one of my own posts for being a double post because I didn't even realize I got through, what a mess!
