Download Speed Problem

<< < (3/5) > >>

Same  here, Yoc. After one day of normal speed, am now back again to slow mode. Is it possible for an internet service provider to selectively reduce a customer's download speed on a specific site if the provider considers that the customer is downloading too much from that site?

Doubtful. It's been a while since I downloaded anything from this site, let alone a large volume. I only noticed it after Mike Catron posted, asking for L. B. Cole material. I offered a scan of the 2-page Unknown Soldier splash from Four Favorites #12. My copy is split down the spine and just a stack of paper. When the artwork didn't fully line up, I wanted to check the scans on here to see how the book was supposed to look. That's when I discovered the download speed issue and posted about it. Prior to that, the last time I downloaded anything here was on January 4 (Nature Boy #3) and December 2 before that. Hardly a large volume.

The more I've thought about it, the more I vaguely recall either myself or someone else having this issue, possibly at CB+ back before it was CB+. This was a number of years ago. It MIGHT have had something to do with the User CP. When I click on that link I get a blank page. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get, but I don't think it's supposed to be blank.

And just FYI, my copy of FF #12 was missing a tiny bit of artwork on both pages which was found on the edge of two other pages. I put the four scans together and came up with a complete scan of Cole's artwork for Fantagraphics. Not only did Ace split the art when printing it, they colored it differently on each page!  ::)

I will say that while the download speed is still slow, it isn't taking the online preview pages as long to load this morning. They were running as slow as the downloads before.

Yoc:
HI Eric,
The broken User_CP as well as broken 'More' links are all because of the incomplete move on the server.  It's my hope that once finished all our headaches will be gone.  Unfortunately we will all need to be patent.
I'm sure Capt will announce when all the particulars are completed.

Download speed looks like it's back to normal (for now). I'll let you if that changes again.
