rrpicturearchives - faraway - 09-06-2013
rrpicturearchives http://www.rrpicturearchives.net has never been a fast side at the internet. But it became a real problem during the last month. Each and every access takes at least one minute. I tried several different ways and providers to reach it from Germany but no help.
Do you have the same lame performance accessing the side from inside the US?
Re: rrpicturearchives - FCIN - 09-06-2013
Only one minute to load an image? Based on my experiences I'd call that fast! And it's been that way for quite some time. I just tried to access the site a little bit ago to look for some specific photos and it took over 1 minute just for the home page to load. I took off another year of my life doing a search and when I finally found what I was looking for, it would take at least a minute or more to display each image! Their servers just can't handle the load.

Thanks Ed. So, it's the server and not the looooong line over the Atlantic.

Yep as fast as VERY frozen molasses. LOL

It's always been slow for me, but today, I can't even get on.

Their servers are probably near capacity. Whenever I go on that website, I feel like I'm on dial up internet.
Re: rrpicturearchives - tomustang - 09-09-2013
That's what happens when you have too many pictures and not enough bandwidth to run at optimum capacity for the visits.
It's like a bathroom at a MLB game

Do you know the owners? Is it just a nice guy running the site on it's own expense? May be a moderate donation of many users could be helpful.
I send them a short email suggesting to add a donate bottom like big blue. May be they buy the required band width when the funds flow.

Strange things happen. About 6 hours later is rr picture archive unusual fast but got no answer to my email.

Glad it's worked out. My experience has always been slow, even in the days that work was faster than home.
Great resource though, so I was usually just patient...

I was there a couple of hours ago...Running normally-pictures loading as fast as always...
Re: rrpicturearchives - lajry - 09-10-2013
Just went there myself & it was up to speed again although it did slow down a little at the end of searching.
