I think the poll said over 40% of users were experiencing it.

Again, it seems to operate ok early in the morning, like right now, but impossibly slow the rest of the day.

My trackers keep saying "tracker sending invalid data" too but I don't know that that's related. /shrug.

It's totally unrelated. This error message appears to Windows 8 users (as yourself) who have avast! as their antivirus program. If this is your case, you have three options:
a) Change your OS.
b) Change your antivirus program.
c) Disable the Network Shield in the avast! In order to do this, go to Real-Time Shields in your avast!, select Network Shield, and press Stop (at the top right).

Flippin' Avast. I like it normally, especially the sandbox feature. But this network shield bull@*(#& is freaking annoying. Thanks - disabled and working groovily.

I rather would suggest to fix the php - settings, because I definetly think that the secure tunnels for each user doesn't seem to be optimized, or had been missconfigured in the past. Especially since the freeleech - option, there is definetly more action now on the server and the standard configuration on rent servers for https is not really a good advice.

But I wouldn't blame the siteowner for all these problems. It is pretty easy to find problems on a busy site ( server ), but most often it is not very easy to find the very right specifications, because every site ( server ) is different in it's configuration and therefore there are loads of possible solutions. Also think about it, that they don't earn money with this hobby, they are doing this for fun and in their spare time!

Edit: Apart from all, I must admitt, that the problems are at the moment worse again. I hope that you still work on a lasting solution. ^^

Some Informations:

Packet Loss

Packet loss is almost always bad when it occurs at the final destination. Packet loss happens when a packet doesn't make it there and back again. Anything over 2% packet loss over a period of time is a strong indicator of problems. Most internet protocols can correct for some packet loss, so you really shouldn't expect to see a lot of impact from packet loss until that loss starts to approach 5% and higher. Anything less than this is showing a possible problem, but one that is probably not impacting your experience significantly at present (unless you're an online gamer or something similar that requires 'twitch' reflexes).

Duplicate and Damaged Packets

ping will report duplicate and damaged packets. Duplicate packets should never occur, and seem to be caused by inappropriate link-level retransmissions. Duplicates may occur in many situations and are rarely (if ever) a good sign, although the presence of low levels of duplicates may not always be cause for alarm.

Damaged packets are obviously serious cause for alarm and often indicate broken hardware somewhere in the ping packet's path (in the network or in the hosts).

It means the reply packet is a duplicate. Each ICMP packet sent out to pint a host has a sequence number that is returned with the response. Sometimes you'll actually get more than one reply. This is usually caused by faulty networks.

I had such a problem on my server. There was a broken switch/router nearby the Server. Call your server hosting provider to change some hardware and everything will be fine.

The paket loss alone is not what slow down the page. It could be that the same broken router/switch is also a bit slower then normaly is.

Damn, i thought the site owner have enough skills to found this problem in a few minutes. I'm disappointed

I can verify both points made by Uwe:

1. I've got reports from Google Chrome users who switched to Mozilla Firefox and found a great improvement in the page loading speed.
2. Today page loading seems to have come back to normal! :cheers: (at least for me)

I can definitely see an improvement but it's far from being the normal load speed, like it used to be.

It can be many things, the site, the site host, ISP inter connections, …

What I noticed is that if the site is slow, Chrome browser is more effected than the Firefox I usually use.

There were made some changes this night (system time) and the pages feel faster to me. To be confirmed.

I'm not sure the problem was at our end… 

Here's a video of the timeouts and site load issues.

Using Chrome like you when the pages are slow, I get similar screens of pages not found / time out like in your clip. At the same time, the pages load with Firefox slowly, but they load …

Is anyone still having problems?

I see your problem Iheart but again I'm not experiencing it even if I cannot check against GT since I've not access to that site (and actually my torrent client is open but idle)
