GardenersCorner downtime

As far as IT is concerned, leading edge often = bleeding edge.
There's always another bug.

 

It looks suspiciously Manx!

I followed Richard's post with one of my own earlier and it's vanished. This happened yesterday too on another thread.

 

Doesn't the speed "adjust" over time? - some sort of feedback loop I think. So if you turn it off it reverts to "standard" when it comes back on, then increases the speed if there are no lost packets - a process which I think takes a while - days of uptime possibly?

But I'm with you on skinflint. We can't put wasted energy back in the bottle either :(

1 watt running 24/7/365 is about £1.50 a year ... so IF your router is 100W that's £150 p.a., and if you switch it off 8 hours a night you'll save 1/3rd of that

I turn the wireless router off when the kids aren't here - they are the only users with their Smartphones and gadgets ...

 

It is sooooooooooo frustrating..

 

<£10 p.a. for my leaving my BT Homehub on 24/7 according to this: http://www.frequencycast.co.uk/howmanywatts.html

 

try using this temp link for gc it may or may not work 100%

its basically using the same database as here but temp files on the new server

Thats a lot quicker - wonder what it will do when all switch to it?

 

<1 second in lieu of 1 minute for 'What's New?' That's more like it!

Should posting, etc. work OK using that temp link? EDIT: Seems to work OK

 

Being it's fast now, what are we all going to do with the spare time???????

Thanks to all for the faster speeds, even for me it's lots fast than before even with slow broadband dew to beening in the middle of nowhere

 

It seems as though I can't upload photo's on this link.
Is that the same for others?

 

it should maintain its faster speed, as it has twice the hardware specs of our old machine and 8 cpu cores
