Cit,

I just checked the Internet/Connectivity board and Skuzzy said that there is a lot of people that are panicked about the whole Napster thing.  I am assuming that this is causing a large amount of net congestion that porks our connection to the MA.

Citabria, read...

Due to Napster getting that court ruling, everybody and all their families are downloading MP3s. This means HELLA net traffic, and horrid connects. Neglag galore! So don't play AH for a few days and let things settle down. Monday is a good day to play, as most people are at work and NOT on Napster.

260ms ping with 1 DISCO yet....on a 26.4k connect.

Napster is still on via a court reprieve, so the mass d/l'ing of MP3's is still rampant.  Expect continued slow traffic.

Yep, I have been doing some spot checks and the Internet is a wreck.

Cable modem networks seem to be worse off than the rest, but the Internet, in general is in pretty sorry shape right now.
