Simviation Forums

Is it just me or is the Forums being slow :-?

It just hangs on waiting for www.simviation..... blah blah For 20seconds before receiving anything :-/

And anytime I download anything from anywhere i get about 30kb/s but when I download something in steam (most of you wont know what that is, It's a online games store) I get a healthy 150Kb/s :-?

So what is going on :-?

...its the time the Data takes to go from the United States, to the Eastern Seaboard of Australia, using a long length of Copper wire.......

Only a problem if it goes on. These things are always temporary.
If you want to try an immediate fix you can

1. Re-connect to your ISP (reboot router?)
2. Reboot your machine
3. Try a 'tracert'  - Go to Start - Run and type: tracert www.simviation.com  - watch the results. It may tell you if there is a problem at some point between your PC and simviation.

Don't worry it's better now, I think it was my modem being a poo

There's nothing worse than having a Poo Modem... .... ...!

I find that if my Computer has been running for many hours during the day, lots of "things" start to slow down.... ...!

But, as Pete suggested, a shut-down and a restart, (which resets the Modem as well), generally cures the problem....
...and is always worth performing, before loading up any Computer Game......a fresh start......!
