thelis when you made the link to itunes do you make it to the one david is hosting? people downloading it might be slowing this thing down

No man, iTunes is running off a different server.

For me it's intermittent, mostly quite fast, but once or twice a day, when making a post or answering one, it slows to a crawl, so much so that it gets to 4 green progress bars & stops, not moving so I have to abort, a real pain!!

Its been OK today I thought but last night was ridiculous.

 

[freestyler105]

Yeah, it's alright currently, but last night was horrible.

Horrible most of the time. Also if I use quick reply I've got literally enough time to make a cup of tea before the reply appears at the bottom of the thread

Its David Lindon on his own that runs this place and he rejected that possibility when other people offered him their own private server space to test it remember

He has legitimate reasons for that though. Think about it. If you are hosting the forum for David, you have the entire forum at your disposal, the ease of hacking a forum on your own server is a lot better. It just wasn't a secure option for David, so he didn't do it.

also transfering 30gb of data would take ages over FTP

It's very slow for me. Sometimes it times out because it takes too long to respond.
