For several months (Years?) it has been well known that Astraweb/US had a 'block hole' maintenance period Sunday evenings (between around 1900-2200 Pacific Time where their server is located at in San Jose), and most folks have simply learned to 'avoid' that block of time (plus or minus a good half hour to an hour or so) because trying to transfer anything during that 'block' was pretty zero.
So no big deal, simply avoid it. Until today. I noticed that around 1400 that the typical extreme slowdowns, 'socket errors', 'timeouts', and etc., had ground things to a halt. I let it run. Basically, nothing got accomplished for what is now going on a good hour or so.
Will continue to monitor, but basically, things are going round and round in a circle, just like what has been occurring during the Sunday night 'period'. Great.
