Problem loading homepage and pages on this site.

BummerBoy

Sorry I was unable to use either command line tool as currently only got access to the site on my smartphone. However everything seems to be working fine again this morning.

I hope others are having the same experience and I thank Tom and the staff for whatever they did that appears to have fixed it.

Cheers guys!

UPDATE: Sorry guys I appear to have spoken too soon. Even though I did check several different types of pages and they all loaded either quickly or at least at an acceptable speed before I posted the above message, the problems now seem to have returned. That said, the problem doesn't seem as bad as it was. For example even though I am back to getting "Could not connect to remote server" errors, it takes a lot less time to see this error than it did previously. Whilst this is clearly far from perfect, it does allow one to hit the reload/refresh option much quicker if one is determined to view the page.

For info - the first attempt to submit my edits to this post failed.

What ever who did, solved all the problems ( as far as I can tell ^^ ).

Thank you very much!

I'm really seeing most pages timing out and have for about a week

Im having real problems, most pages time out and I am struggling to even post this. I only have a problem with this site.

I am having the same problem and it makes the site very difficult to use. Most of the time when I click a link I get page not found error or a time out error. There are no more previews for the torrent when I hover over the titles, just blank white boxes instead. I sure hope they find out whatever the problem is soon.

Any new on this, really struggling to even post this.

Sorry guys only a little silly q just in case. Have you tried to shut down the torrent client before posting or opening the site ?

cannonmc

My torrent client wasn't even running this morning when I was getting time outs

agis

Hmm let's see. Sorry for your mishap iheartporn, crazygk02 and cannie :(.

But on behalf of your testimonies I've tried today the experiment of shutting down the torrent client for 2 hours. I didn't experience particular differences in my personal quick load of both the GTN and GTru sites as a consequence. Every now and then I experience some slow downs as it occasionally happens with a number of other sites in the web I could give the coordinates of if asked for.
I think I should also add that my connection is an el cheapo 7mbit/s Italian one just to be more precise

P.S. Of course when I switch on the torrent client GTru slows down exactly as all the rest ofte web.
Should an IT ignorant mole explain why? ^-^

Strugging to post here due to the issue.

Here's a video of the timeouts and site load issues.

I see your problem Iheart but again I'm not experiencing it even if I cannot check against GT since I've not access to that site (and actually my torrent client is open but idle)

trukr

I've noticed a huge improvement since I logged in today. No slowdowns yet.

Is anyone still having problems?

cannonmc

Certainly seems better today

For me it's awfully slow even though I have a high speed broadband connection. I've been a faithful GT.ru user for a long time but I must admit that this persisting problem made me signup for other gay related trackers but you can't even compare them with GT.ru. Please do something to fix this!

Using Chrome like you when the pages are slow, I get similar screens of pages not found / time out like in your clip. At the same time, the pages load with Firefox slowly, but they load …

iheartporn

I wonder if it's a certain ISP, I'm with Virgin Media.

cannonmc

So am I but I doubt that they are bothered. Or would have any effect.

I'm not sure the problem was at our end…

Popper

With that many users effected (see the Home page poll), I'd say it is not the users or a single ISP. I doubt as well that there is a sudden massive movement of ISPs to slow down traffic with our site.

It can be many things, the site, the site host, ISP inter connections, …

What I noticed is that if the site is slow, Chrome browser is more effected than the Firefox I usually use.

There were made some changes this night (system time) and the pages feel faster to me. To be confirmed.

I can verify both points made by Uwe:

I've got reports from Google Chrome users who switched to Mozilla Firefox and found a great improvement in the page loading speed.
Today page loading seems to have come back to normal! :cheers: (at least for me)
