Modsite slow

[vbgamer45]

Reporting slowness with the modification site.

Just wondering what makes the modsite when updating a mod?

For instance I am just updating the version numbe for SMF on  a mod and not doing a notify to users, nor uploading new files.

But seems to take over a minute just to update.

yeh this is a known issue and its been worked on.  Something to do with how the servers are configured I think I was told.

It hangs for a while then an error page. but if you refresh the page, the mod is loaded.

Anything can be done to help. I notice even the main forum gets under stress. Now is that due to db server or just webserver with many requests.

If many requests maybe look into a service like cloudfare might cut down on bot traffic

I am not 100% sure but I think there is plan on a server upgrade but I have only heard this through rumour mill.

Yeah the hardware is being made ready for that actually.

The current problem with *uploading* are being investigated, they do not appear to be related to stress at all but in some server-side handling. How it suddenly out of the blue started happening is not entirely clear... Yet.

As for the current high loads, the servers are a bit pissed off because I gave them 300.000 emails to send out at once...
It will clear up within the next few hours judging by the progress.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Lets see if they will upgrade it soon.
