since I made some changes I've had no issues
I'm using (as I aways do) firefox, I don't like IE (never have) but I'll check with IE as well to see if theres any difference
in the sites performance, but I think the main issue was google and Microsoft bots
I've restricted the access so they don't cause so big a load on the server


I seriously doubt googlebot or msn is causing the issues as they are programmed to hit sites 'nicely', it doesnt appear to be a network issue either as trace routes and pings are normal. My guess is either another bot is slamming the site or its a database issue.

that happens if the server cannot interpret the .php files for example and thus offers it to you as plain source code. your browser doesn't know what it is, and show a download dialog

i thought it was just me.... lol... dialup hahahaha it's been fun!


Dial up Lola! Man it has been a while since I have used that, but i was stuck with it in the country for some years after its era had passed.

Lola's internet is so slow, by the time she reads the first post in a new grow journal from seed, the plants have already finished, cured, and been smoked!!!
