Title: Is it slow as hell for you too?
Post by: DoctorFreedom on January 25, 2013, 03:32 pm
I have to hit refresh like 5 times to load the site once, and a minute later it's not loading again.
Almost impossible to use, what to say if you have to list 10-20 products.
Is it just me? Any way to improve the speed?

depends on how many people are on the site. sometimes its not slow at all. copy button is your best friend before reloading a site.

Depends on time of day for me. Early morning super quick, early evening slow as fuck.
Should tell you something about SR's client base. lol

Yup, same here. If I use the site in the morning or early afternoon I usually don't have connectivity problems so maybe you should try a few different moments during the day.

depends on how low my pants are for me. If they're just waist height, I can't get a clear connection, but if I put them around my pants and watch some porn, the connection is top notch, everything loads really fast. Bangbros helps more than others for some reason.

Hah, you kill me :D And yet you're kinda right, sometimes it does seem a bit abitrary.

pretty slow but more unbearable is the fact that it does not seem to work for half the day

It was moving kinda fast till I tried to post in here and now it's really slow. But it's usually slow due to Tor traffic

I've seen some links that mention a dedicated access to TOR.  Haven't looked into it yet though.  TOR is just slow I guess.  The price of security.

Yep, TOR is also to blame, but in a good way. tbh I don't mind, but must be a pain in the ass for vendors having to message a lot of people.

Browse with 3 windows of SRF up and you'll forget about it rather quickly.
