Has anyone else been having a problem getting on DU?

[Pam-Moby]

I have cable and only on this site it runs so slow today. Lastnight I could not get on DU at all between 2:00 AM through 4:00 AM. Anyone else having this problem?

1. Has seemed slow from Seattle for the past 18 hours or so

I'm using a Qwest.net DSL connection from Seattle.

2. Yes, I had that problem, too.

Couldn't get on at all last night. This morning it's very, very slow. If this is a sign of very increased traffic, that's a good thing.

5. I hope it is increased traffic and not being messed with! n/t

12. I had problems this morning

It could be a Freeper corp attack, those people are in their glory this week with the inauguration.

I know that Yahoo had problems with their message boards over the weekend. Also the company I work for had some problems with their network over the weekend too.

Maybe a cyber attack by terrorist or hackers?? I haven't read anything in the media about it. Of course we all know that media reports the truth, the whole truth and nothing else (sarcasm).

3. DU went down about midnight

And it was going pretty smoothly today, until about an hour ago, then it got real slow. Must be heavy usage.

Or possibly a freeper attack. I se a lot of posts in a lot of threads that have deleted by the mods.

7. The web is running slow this morning....

Not just DU, even eBay and my on-line banking.

From both SBCYahooGlobal DSL and dial-up.

8. Couldn't get on at all

last night 10pm PST. Seems awfully slow especially on some threads. I thought maybe someone was messing with it with all the news on blogs lately. I can't get by without DU so I hope all is OK.

9. I live in California and I was kicked off arounf 9ish p.s.t....

What's up with that? And yes, the sight is running slow today! You'd think that all of the King's men are too busy to bother with us...PLACES EVERYONE! :puke:

[Pam-Moby]

10. I just went down again from 3:18 pm to 4:20 pm..

What is going on here. Does anyone know?

[cruadin]

14. I have not had trouble getting on DU, but...

loading or refreshing pages has been VERY slow (off and on) since last night.
*I'm on a DSL line.

15. I couldn't get on at all last night after about 10 pm.

It was okay this am, though.

16. I couldn't get DU last night either.

At one point, as I was continuously trying to load the address, it seemed like it was being redirected to another site. Which made me guess the DU servers were hacked. But that's just my guess.

17. In California--could not get on last night & this morning n/t

[donheld]

20. No problems today

but last night or early this morning it was just impossible.

[marions ghost]

21. yes--down last night

[BellaLuna]

22. no.. It seems to be running fine to me

[Greybnk48]
