+scottyw Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yesterday and today the site has been running very slow for me and I was wondering if anybody else was having problems. Even the download to gps page takes a long time to come up. Quote Link to comment

+SeekerOfTheWay Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Geocache Navigator is down, not connecting to the site. oh well, i'm at work anyhow. But what a bummer! Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Slow here too. Someone pointed out earlier that it is as if Groundspeak is asking for a distributed denial of service attack on itself. Good chance to test their infrastructure, I guess. BTW I noticed that several people who logged finds today received their souvenir. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yes, it's running slow for us atm (18:15hr UK time)... I had to wait for a couple of minutes before our 10-10-10 log loaded... and we got our souvenir MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Team kizb Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yes, slow in South Dakota as well. Team kizb thinks we're going to shatter the old record today! Never seen the website this slow before. Quote Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm not even trying to pull up a cache to find today. The sight just isn't moving for me at all. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yeah, me either. And I even upgraded to wireless, 'cause dial-up was so slow - go figure. Can't even get into my profile page to get started. Guess a cutesy "souvenir" is out for me today. Quote Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Glad I did all my geocaching on Friday. lol Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 grinding....brutally slow.... Quote Link to comment
+pppingme Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I can't even use the word slow to describe today, that doesn't give it justice, wow its bad. Quote Link to comment
+BaylorGrad Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Slow is an understatement. Now it's time to go see what 10-10-10 is, other than today's date. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 On the same computer, IE8 is crawling while Firefox at least managed to stutter along. I managed to log a few caches on Firefox while IE8 is still trying to finish loading the main page. Quote Link to comment

It seems that sometimes the page loading hangs on some external (to GC.com) link. Quote Link to comment
+Highland Horde Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 slow enough just trying to load the home page that i opened a tab, went to the forums, found this thread, read all the posts, and posted this before it was done loading...lol....thats slow Quote Link to comment

It took 25 minutes this afternoon around noon PDT to download a 1MB zipped pocket query. Amazing. I could have driven to Seattle and grabbed it by USB key in that time :-) Running the official droid app and uploading a couple found logs was very fast FWIW. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 works fine now, was a bit slow at first but actually pictures loaded even faster than any time before Quote Link to comment
jd-mitchell Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 slower than molasses in Massachusetts in January this morning (up till when I left @ noon MDT), but much better now! Quote Link to comment
+lachupa Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 It's faster now but I was having dial up flashbacks earlier. I scored on my souvenir though and after all isn't that what's important. Quote Link to comment
+SeekerOfTheWay Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Geocache Navigator back up! Got my lazy bones up (after working all day, then dinner) and found my 101010 cache! Hooray! Quote Link to comment
+Too Tall John Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Glad I did all my geocaching on Friday. lolI'm glad I didn't do all my caching on Friday. Friday was 10-8-10. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 My other half was able to find a cache on her iphone before work (we're night-shifters) and we were able to receive the 10/10/10 souvenir. Quote Link to comment
