Forum runs slow when someone is downloading a manual - Confirmed

[AB]

I am just uploading a new manual that is 200mb.

The forum is running slow right now so I have confirmed that if the forum is ever running slow it means that someone is downloading a manual.

I'm not sure if this can be fixed, I will check it out shortly but just wanted to let you all know that this is the reason why the forum may run slow sometimes until the manual has been downloaded by the user....

Don't you have the manuals hosted on a different server 2 what the the forum is hosted on AB, that was my belief..... and if is the case then I don't think someone downloading a manual will slow the forum down at all.

No, after we changed providers and are now paying a small fortune each month I thought I would bring all the manuals back on here.

After I posted, I took notice of the new manual and seen it was on the forums server. I doubt the manuals get downloaded every single day anyway and I'm sure we all can be patient while a member is downloading a manual :)

I think the downloads happen more then you think.....therefore the slowness in the forum...maybe?

[AB]

I really haven't had time to check how many get downloaded each day. I really need to get on to that.

But, we are getting over 20-30 new members each day and only 2-5 introductions or posts from new members each day so you have to ask yourself why are the other 20 members signing up?????

Most likely to just get the manuals. I'll have to check out the stats one day!

Hmmm, makes you wonder if its worth it........go back to the way it was may be .OK SHOOT me!

[Maxhead]

Just to add :

Its easier to ban a few spammers trying to get the manual then to make the members suffer the slow forum because the one timers are downloading the manual

OK OK, just mu thoughts

Ok sounds like a lot of manual grabbing going on, If the files are hosted elsewhere and it wasn't slowing the forum down then who cares, but now there back on the forums server I say bring back N/S. Not sure if its possible somehow, I doubt it....but if you need a hand AB I offer my services 2 keep check out the stats. I do say its only something that you can do, but if there is a way, I don't mind helpin out :)

Totally agree with you Kris

[snicko]

I'm on the same page as Kris and Todd. When the forum runs slow you can't use it. Its either dropping out, not load pages, can't post or doesn't connect.

I agree with Kris on this one AB, it is not that hard to post up an intro and clock up 25 or how many ever posts to get access to the manuals..............a lot of hard work by some members has gotten the manuals together for everyone.
If some people can't be bothered to say hello then stuff them, give them nothing.
I know that I usually send you a PM regarding this sort of stuff but it really pi22es me off that we get blowins just after something for nothing and give nothing in return.
Yeah I know................back in your box Doggy....lol

[AB]

mmm....Interesting...lol...well, we may very well have to bring back that rule unfortunately guys and girls.

I'll have a look at whats involved in bringing it back tomorrow...

I agree with everyone, It's affecting our general use of the forum each day by people not contributing anyway so it doesn't make much difference I guess...
