Subject: Re Slow site

<dir>

I decided to try using firefox to see if it would be any faster than IE this what happend:

The connection has timed out

The server at brainking.com is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

moments.

So it is Brainking that is too slow.

crosseyed: timeout doesn't necessarily mean slow. it can mean the site was unavailable at the time. I noticed that sometimes BrainKing goes offline for about a minute (most people have come to associate that with upgrades to the site or posts on BrainKing.info, though Fencer never admited any of that afaik).
If you're using IE7 you will most likelly notice a difference between IE and Firefox (in FF's favor), so you should definitelly repeat the test at another time...

pauloaguia: I find it odd that it only happens in Brainking and not the other sites I use.

Oh well too late to catch up on my games because this site is so slow at the moment, so I will be wasting another vacation day because it bedtime for me.

pauloaguia: I am sorry to say that, but I tried yesterday BrainKing from IE7 and FF together, and when BrainKing was offline for some time, like half a minute or so (as you write), after that time IE7 got online much faster then FF ... (I was refreshing the page, and FF still said something like "page unavailable" but I was already playing in IE7 ...)
so I prefer IE7 again and again ...
