Slow access

Sierra Oscar

Been very slow for me the last few hours - I just got a DataBase error also.

Might just be this storm system acting the tit. Or someone forgot to give the hamsters their cookies.

Looks to me like Digiweb has been falling off the interweb intermittently this evening - each time boards was down I couldn't get to Digiweb's own site either.

C'mon CuLt....get the finger out!:D

It took me nearly 10mins to get here! (I really should waste my time on something productive :rolleyes: ).

Boards has been down for most of the evening here. All the new :pac: :pac: :pac: must be clogging up the tubes...

Managed to get in here through the Boards group link on Boards.jp. Can't get in through direct link to the main site, everything just dies and I get a "cannot connect to server" message. On FF 2.0.0.12 and BT, btw.

I'm on BT also and its FECKED. I think it could be the altfarm.mediaplex ads that are doing it. Any word from the admins or CuLT?

Digiweb are having major network issues. Boards is hosted by digiweb.

Digiweb routing (INEX/DEG/etc.) has been well and truely b0rked all evening (since about 6.45pm). Metro, DSL and (more worryingly) data centre customers have been affected with no acknowledgement or resolution in sight.

DEG is a DC, INEX is an Exchange, only one of them has to do with routing.

I understand a massive DOS is in progress against Digiweb.

Better yet, who has a bot farm that can take down a ISP? Thats some hardcore bandwidth.

Allow me clarify, for the pedantic. Some/most/(all?) Digiweb routes leaving DEG have been b0rked all evening. As too has their INEX peering. As too has some/most/(all?) data centre customers (dedicated, colo, boards.ie, etc.) been on/offline all evening.

Could well be a DOS (I'll assume you have inside knowledge to know that and be so pedantic!). Not something you'll see reported on their website ("No issues" being reported). Not something support staff will tell you when you call. Not something support staff will leave in voicemail to you.

To summarise. Digiweb has been screwed all evening and that is the cause of boards.ie being unavailable to many.

There's been a very, very large DDoS. I'll expect the network team to have it fully under control shortly.

Sparky

My server in Digiweb has been having problems since 6ish, so it must be on Digiwebs side tbh.

Edit: The man has spoken

Zee Germans are attacking, ja !!

is_that_so

On Digiweb as well but some sites coming through. Boards.ie is fine but many other sites timing out. Opera best perfoming browser for me at present. Both Firefox 2.0.0.12 and IE 7 acting up.

Well after 6 hours my Digiweb connection is now working properly again. As is boards.

ZOMFG it's hosted on my hard drive :eek:

DeVore

Wanna explain how you knew that it was a ddos??

As for adblocking, if there is a problem with the site and it speeds it up, ok. Otherwise its not something I want put in my face, ta.

DeV.

Nerin

was it the same tonight as when Cult said it was a ddos last time?
and if so who/why? :pac:

whats with ad blocking too?

Nerin was very bored earlier because i could get back onto boards.:(
