    I know a server change happened, I am not sure if it is just me, but it seems much much slower.

    Is the server change still going on so its slow, or has my PC just decided that it doesnt like bit tech so it will try and ruin my browsing.

    No other websites are slower for me, so I just assumed it was bit-tech.

    It slowed down quite a lot for me earlier but seems to be very fast now.

    Yeah actually it is very quick. I just found out my little brother is torrenting the theiving little git, though I think he is actually getting a linux distro of some sort so perhaps no theiving is involved at all.

    But most other sites seem to run normally, maybe he has bandwidth spikes just as I got onto bit tech :D

    None of you should be experiencing any slowdown. It would be very helpful if anyone having problems could PM me with a traceroute.

    Fast and smooth here at home.

    Before the server move there were some slow-downs and bounces ("server busy").

    I'm on dial-up, so I can't tell the difference. But the site doesn't hiccup when loading content, for me.

    Not as good as the European guys but Comcast in Bloomington, IN sucks for any sever.

    Looks ok to me too, I would say though that the top level page does seem to load a teeny bit faster as do most images though we are talking half seconds at best. However over the course of a whole page of images it's pretty noticeable :thumb:

    ::edit:: What does worry me slightly though is that you only have one MX record :S
