problems with BHW at 3am CST

[ukescuba]

anyone else experience problems with the site around 3am CST

i always get BAD GATEWAY messages appear, and the site runs really slow...

i usually use this as an indication that i should be asleep!

but am wondering if its my connection or BHW???

Try flushing your dns

ipconfig/flushdns (in cmd prompt)

Works for me

good am glad its not me - perhaps time bhw does a backup?

i should be asleep anyway... gotta be up in 3 hrs

look at this? is it some serious server issue or is the traffic going crazy all of a sudden?

Actually come to think about it... I did get a error once about a half-an-hour ago...

Nope we're just slowly killing the internet.

Yes, same here. It usually last for about 2-3 hours. Always in the middle of the night. I have to continually log on and off. Funny thing is, it didn't happen tonight (to me).

this is backup related and ill leave the specifics at that, we're working to remove this interruption you notice but it has a good reason behind why your seeing it so im hesitant to stop it currently, will be looking into other alternatives though
