I think we are there......

John D. · 09-17-2004, 06:19 PM

OK....

It's been a long day.... Some of you are on the new circuits - and the throughput is peaking at 4.9 Mbps rather then the old circuit at 1.4Mbps. Right now - only the Forums and 1 FQDH is on this.... Anyway - I'm trying to bring things up gracefully, so through the weekend - let's see what happens...

Thanks....

I can see the difference, here!!!

John Sabato · 09-20-2004, 10:58 AM

Big difference even at my work location John D... I haven't tried from the dial-up at home yet... will try to do that tonight.

John D. · 09-20-2004, 06:38 PM

Hey Johnny/John..!

Thanks!!! Well, today was a great test - as everyone seems to be coming in on circuits that:

1) actually stay "on"

2) are now running at 4X the old speed...

Anyway - for just the sites on this server (firearms/autos), we had about 1200 - 1400 folks logged in at about 2:30 PM <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> I was really, really pleased with the performance!

As well - still looking at the software upgrade, but again - if I do that, I'll need to plan on a slightly more powerful server, so I'll keep you posted....

My thanks again! And John S. - let me know how it comes up on dial-up, OK???

Thanks!

John D.

I have used both the last two days.

There is a diff, but only a bit on dial up. I actually attribute it to damn dial up being so ^*(^% slow, not cuz of you!!!

Thanks, it seems fast on dads DSL in Wershington this afternoon!

Sheeessshhhh.......

(Actually - my first site was on a 56K frame relay in 1997. Since then - and when Al Gore "invented the Internet" - technology actually got faster.. I have no idea how, without Al driving "his invention" - but, what do I know???

What is a job? Oh yes, I remember--work?? I don't have time for that stuff.

Edward Tinker · 09-21-2004, 12:47 AM

Of course not, you are busy with all those dang storms!

It is amazing how time flies and the wife (or you) can always find so much dang things to do!

Big Norm · 09-22-2004, 06:40 AM

A job?? I think that I need one of those things. Sometimes I think that I need one now that I am retired, just to get some rest.
