Topic: Bitcointalk.org is either Down or Running Extremely Slow Today (Read 2574 times)
I've noticed some slowness for the last 2-3 days. Connections take some seconds to be established, transmission rate is fine after that.
Is it me or is bitcointalk.org running very slow today?
It is!
they must have upgraded their hosting like 100 times ... its never enough!

Someone on IRC mentioned a SYN flood against Mt Gox today, but I haven't seen anyone confirm or refute it.

I've been having intermittent periods of slowness or downtime on here the past few weeks, it's not just traffic from the Mitt crowd. It usually passes before too long, so I haven't worried.
It tends to happen when there's a drama in progress and people are constantly checking for updates. The pirate debacle probably drove increased traffic over the last few weeks. Today's problems are likely people Googling "Bitcoin" as a result of the Romney thing combined with people wanting to know what's happening regarding Bitfloor.

Might not be a bad idea to have the forums hosted somewhere other than the biggest exchange... when the bitcoin world goes dark, it really goes dark....
I agree, just in case this intermittent downtime reoccurs in the future. Or, at the very least, add a secondary host as a backup.

Everything seems fine for now. 5:05pm Central time, US (UTC/GMT -6 hours)
Still intermittent down times for me, although the site does seem to be gaining speed.Does seem like Gox is still down. Don't use my account there anyways though...lol

Took forever (just now) to reach the site from googlez. This forum is hosted w/same people who host Gox correct?

Site was not working today since 5:11PM EST, AFAICT.
So's MtGox I wonder if they're getting ddos attacks?
It's most likely Mitt Romney's team rushing to Gox to buy bitcoins to stop the release lol
