Subject: Slow pages?

Anyone else having slow page loads today since the site came back? I tried to ping brainking.com and it timed out 3 times.

Rose: Brainking doesn't answers to icmp traffic, i.e. you can never ping it, even if it is "alive"! And I don't have problems mostly, but about every 20th attempt to make a move takes too long to wait for :)

Speaking of slow pages, I was searching on Firefox the other day for a bandwidth tester, and I found the FasterFox extension.

I don't know what it does, but my page loading smokes now!

I use Fasterfox... yes, it does as it says but one thing to keep in mind, Its taking bandwidth from your local ISP.

U have some options in fasterfox, make sure you check them out..
(Default, Curteous, Optimized, Turbo Charged And Custom)

If you use Turbo Charged 24/7 your ISP will be charging you extra for the bandwidth LOL

Rose: The problem was in the line, not in BrainKing. Czech users were online for the whole day.
