Recent Network Problems

Anonymous · February 04, 2009, 12:15:04 PM

Ongoing monitoring of the recent network issues (lag, slow forums etc) has allowed our hosts to identify the cause of the problems and they will be switching the main internet feed for us either tonight or tomorrow night.

The switch will mean there will be a short outage, probably without us being able to give much, if any, warning so do not be surprised if things die suddenly, normal service will be resumed asap.

Please bear with us as the outage should lead to better connections to the servers.

Thanks to 'Detective BlueBall' for progressing this on behalf of us all. Much appreciated.

Has the network now been switched over? I also have gotten interleaving removed from my line and my pings have halved!!! I have gone from getting 90 - 110 on any of the server to getting 35 - 60!! So hopefully i will be able to shoot things other than Lib!! who I only seem to shoot when he is on my team. :doh:

It was on Whiteys internet page but it looks like he has changed it I think - either that or BT has done another of their classic faux pas

I was going to ask about the fast downloads it is taking ages to get a map download. Can anyone point me to a map list and downloads for the css server?

Thanks
