Ugh. Am I the only one with bad connects lately?

[Kieran]

Buffer says it all. The last few days have been awful on my end. Must be a backbone down somewhere I don't know about...

[sshh]

Unfortunately you are not alone. Where are you connecting from ?

 Whine, whine, whine.

Yeah, it's been pretty bad alright.  Tonight was probably the worst night for me in months.  My net status showed flat, but I guess there was some packet loss somewhere.  I started off in a fight with a p38 that ended up warping like crazy when he began to turn.  His wingy got me pretty quickly after I overshot him.  Next sortie I ended up shooting down a zero, but I collided with part of it and we both got kills on each other.  My last sortie was in an la5 and this time I got behind a yak and saw about 8 or 9 flashes all to his tail.  Smoke started pouring out, and pieces fell off.  Right before it went down I got discoed.    That was enough for me for the night.  Obviously somewhere here in Oregon there is something wrong with the net.

Coming from Bedford, IN. Things seem ok until I look at the net status- looked like Dick Cheany's EKG.

Shaddap, Easy-'MO!

Something is definitely wrong. Folks warping like crazy. Check my net status and do a ping, checks out ok. Past 2 nights been seeing people warp from 500ft in front of me to 700ft behind me. Watched a Lanc warp about 3k,  spraying me all the way. Must be a backbone overloaded somewhere.

 No Kieran. I'm suffering too. But I think my isp is going down the toilet

Ok, I feel better (I think!)... misery loves company and all that rot.  

Think I will lay out a few days and see what happens- whined a lot on open last night, a good sign it's time for a break...

[easymo]

 Why is it, Kieran is the only one that gets my sense of humor. It really, worries me sometimes.

[Dowding]

Me too.

I live in the UK, and my ping time usually rests about the 250ms mark.

I just checked my ping time and I discovered something truly awful: "The Sprintlink of Doom"(TM). Skuzzy always says this not a good thing to have.

Alt-route looks even worse tonight (750 ms). Looks like no AH again.

You can thank the Napster nuts and the media for the connections folks.

The media made yet another annoucement this morning about Napster, so I expect the connections will be pretty sloppy.

I will bo sooooo glad when Napster is dead.

Is that true - how much bandwith (as a percentage of the entire internet?) do Napster and it's users take up?

5%? 10%?

edit - the founder of Napster, Shawn Fanning, lived about 30 miles away from me. He's the Cape Cod hero of programming!

Verio has been spiking really bad recently.

Has everyone gone through the suggestions over at tweak3D.net? I dropped another 50ms off my ping by adjusting the network properties in Win98.

Destroy all WinModems!

Think of Dallas. How many people in Dallas connect to Napster? We all have to contend with local traffic there. They're soaking us!
