Topic: Mtgox please spend some of your massive income on new servers. "downornot" - page 2. (Read 3060 times)

I assure you the site would not load for the periods i was attempting to access a trade order (i was already logged in to mtgox so i only needed to refresh the page) . Up to about a minute and 30 seconds at a time. then once the swings are over it loads like normal.

This downornot.com service is bullshit. It does trip over pretty much any commercial DDoS defense product. I don't know whose DDoS prevention service MtGox uses, but for Prolexic Technologies' it has more than 50% false negative rate. This means a legit HTTP/HTTPS GET/POST from a browser connects through the defense while downornot.com shows the site as down.

I was so slow today that I just gave up trying to put in a bid.

Gox is insanely slow

I'm on 50/50 fiber and it is them

prove it, cause i just did and its fine.

microsoft is up!
How do we know?
Check microsoft from 3 random stations in the WatchMouse monitoring network.

    Dublin, IE: Okay(0) ; 2426ms UP
    Oslo, NO: Okay(0) ; 2000ms UP
    Florida, US: Okay(0) ; 1106ms UP

If 2 or more stations find an error or do not get response within 4 seconds, we consider the site to be "down"

I guess ill just have to switch to an exchange that lets me load their page! Madness. (yes i know mtgox is fine 99% fo the time but whenever big swings are happening is the most important time to trade)

that downornot is bullshit. It just said me MICROSOFT IS DOWN,lol.

I is time to reduce the load from the bots.  This could be done with a fee, or with rate limits.

and again... another price swing and i cant log in... the exact same thing. is someone possibly spamming the server so it lags while their bots are trading to keep humans out?

Every time i want to place an order

whenever a price thats good comes on mtgoxlive, i go to buy or sell and i cant get in b/c its so laggy or bots mass trading. there was a timespan of no greater than 1.00 minutes. yes, one entire minute where te price went from 8.5 to 7.0 and then back to 8.5 again. i logged in to place a buy @ 7.2 order and didnt get logged back in until the price was back at 8.5

PS a usa server would help :/

Me thinks this hurts normal traders more than botting traders and I cant be the only one, it happens every day at least twice.
