how are your browsing times on ftn?

Nope, no change here.
It's still a constant 0 kb/s. :lol:

I wish they had some other stuff open to the public, other than the FAQ.
(For god's sake, will someone please update the FAQ, it's getting old real fast! ;))

I'm curious how you can say that, and then I see you're all over FSC. You DO realize fsc is hosted in the exact same datacenter with similar specs.... right...? :hmm:

Wrong... The spec for the FSC machine is far greater than that for FTN. Ask Zlo...

The only reason for site slowdowns would be routing/bandwidth. Remember that Asia is currently playing catchup with the US/Europe, but is well on it's way to becoming a major player with the imminent installation of the new fibre optic that connects Asia to Europe, which will give almost EU speeds to EU members.

Also, there is a lot of code optimisations that can speed up a site. Many repetitive queries, or uncached queries, can have an impact of page production. GZIP or compression does help, but the time taken to generate a page is often the main reason for slow responses (added on top of normal lag).
