.......... or is anyone else having problems connecting to OPF?

Since late yesterday afternoon I'm getting a lot of "Connecting to...." and "Waiting for....", often followed by a time-out. ("The server is temporarily unavailable.....").

I get there eventually, but it takes a few tries.

Other sites load OK, and my connection is chugging along at between 8 and 9 Mbps.

There are no problems at my end. Perhaps a problem with your ISP or the DNS servers? It can be a route specific issue. I know that this does not help you, but nevertheless :)

Thanks John. Seems to be a bit better at the moment. As Cem said, maybe it was a DNS problem, although I'd have thought it would affect other sites.

In the grand scheme of things it's not a problem :)

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this site does what it says, but perhaps worth trying the first link:
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Just ignore the commercial second link on the page.

Anyway, no problems at my end.

Cheers,
Bart

FWIW, I have a sluggish connection to OPF right now. Other sites are accessible at nominal speeds as usual.

Cheers,
