Keith_W Posted October 8, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2023 I am not sure if other people are experiencing this problem, but MSW is very slow for me. Doing anything on MSW - trying to open a thread, look at new posts, do a search, open a personal message, etc. seems to take forever. It's not my internet connection because every other website I visit is very fast. This is what happens when I ping MSW: As you can see, 50% packet loss from one ping. Is this a known issue? Can admin do something to fix it?

Solution James H Posted October 8, 2023 Solution Share #5 Posted October 8, 2023 MSW is accessed through a proxy. When you ping MSW, you're actually pinging our proxy. All traffic here is routed through that. It is very possible that our proxy could have been slow, or your route to MSW was slow. For me, I've not noticed any difference in access time, but I'm in the Uk and not Aus. Ryland Craze and mtaylor 2 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

Keith_W Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted October 8, 2023 Thank you James. This problem is intermittent and it is excruciating. Quite often pictures fail to load, which takes away a lot of enjoyment from this site. I note that nobody else has complained of the same issue, so hopefully it's just a temporary thing and it will go away. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Le Wol Posted October 8, 2023 Share #7 Posted October 8, 2023 Hi Keith, maybe you could try changing the dns server you are using. Search for how to change dns settings on whatever device you are using. I’ve used Open dns in the past. ( owned by Cisco ). Now I just use Google dns ( 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 ) because it’s easier to remember. There are lots of geeks here that can tell you whether or not that will help. Good luck Keith_W and mtaylor 2 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat. Billings Boats . - HM Cutter Cheerful-1806 Syren Model Ship Company.

mtaylor Posted October 9, 2023 Share #9 Posted October 9, 2023 There were a lot of internet slowness here in Oregon on Saturday. Later that day, things got back to "normal". I got mixed answers from my ISP tech support so who knows what happened.

Keith_W Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share #11 Posted October 10, 2023 Well, it looks as if the issue has solved itself. MSW is still slower than the other websites I visit, but at least pictures are loading now. A ping still shows 206ms response time, but now 0% packet loss. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards, Keith 2007 (completed): HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina 2013 (completed): Viking Ship Drakkar - Amati 2014 (completed): HMS Bounty Launch - Model Shipways Current: HMS Royal William - Euromodel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
