Running slow?

Soooo slooow....! It's driving me crazy. I might have to go and do some housework instead. Second thoughts - it can't possibly be that bad!

Just a thought, but I have just had a Windows update. That usually changes some of my settings. I have looked at all of them I could, and I can't see anything that might cause it. I have cleared my temporary internet files, old bookmarks and some other things that could be clogging up the system, but if everyone is experiencing the same thing, it can't be that.

Very bad now. Are the techies working today?

It’s still like wading through treacle!

The speed was fast this morning but has gone off now.

Mines so slow I thought it had stopped completely. Glad to know it’s not my new iPad and that other sites are ok. Come on GN get some more techies on it before we all fall asleep waiting........or go back to writing letters, or telex, ? we might have to start sending telegrams. ? pony express even

Gosh, GN today is just like the old days of dial-up internet!

Slower than ever for me today

It seems to be worse when more people are connecting to it. That sounds as though the server they are using is having difficulties coping with high traffic. As it happened suddenly, it must be a fault, not just increasing workload.

Oh yes! I thought it was something to do with my Wi-fi. It was slow yesterday too.

I'm off to knit myself a blanket for yoga while I wait

I a g g r e e!

yes, just logged on and it is
g o i n g v e r y s l o w l y

It's awful here. Very frustrating to an impatient soul like me.

Yes, this morning it was OK, but now it is definitely getting slower and s l o w e r.

It's getting slower and s l o w e r.

So annoying I’m off too ?

I’m thinking the same as you Charley! I might actually get some of my To Do list done today!

Me as well kathsue.

Same problem here. I was just about to post about it when I saw this thread.

I have returned 2 hours later and no improvement. It may help me - I may get things done in this house for a change instead of gossiping online.

Sixtyfive posts (and more being added all the time) from people concerned about the slowness.

I was about to contact GNHQ to ask whether they had had a "denial of service" attack, but I see that they are looking into it so I shall wait for a while.

What is interesting, if you watch the little box with "what is happening so far," in it, is the number of different files being downloaded, some of them from sites you wouldn't have thought of. However most of the time it just says "Waiting for ransnet.com"

Same problem for me on PC - very slow yesterday and still not very speedy this morning. Have you paid tech team GNHQ or are they all on go slow?

It was OK late last night, now it is slow again - that should tell GN techies something! Are the complaints all from the UK?

Same again today.
