Hi Folks,

I am truly sorry but I am sick and tired of seeing the above after waiting 5-10 minutes just to read a response to a post.

Will someone please email me ...

geep@cableone.net

... when ( or if) this problem gets resolved.

In the meantime, I shall be looking for a Poser website with a more user friendly response time.

geep

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"

cheers,

dr geep ... :o]

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Please Dr. Geep, don't leave. We people here have a co-dependent disorder, and we will jump off the bridge if you leave. It just would not be the same. I keep getting these errors too, and not just with Renderosity. I have to manually reset my cable modem about every hour, on the hour. Cablelynx blows bigtime. I wish I still had Comcast, at least their system works. -The Starkdog

haha goodbye stoopid doktor

Renderosity is slow, no doubt of it, but I've had trouble getting on elsewhere. It's like there's an Internet traffic jam out there (I've got cable too). I hope you don't stay away long, Dr. Geep. You're important to us.

" ..I shall be looking for a Poser website with a more user friendly response time." I think you'll find Any of the other Poser sites will meet that requirement. Your wit, wisdom and extraordinary generosity that you give to the Poser community, would be welcomed with open arms by any and all of them.....take your pick. Course you may have to have Nay-Say-Guy bonded :-)) Your student,SWAMP

Don't saty away too long. Your input is highly valued here.

If you move for real please IM me your forwarding address: where you will be "hanging out" (is it against TOS to say where you are going?). Peace..

It isn't against TOS unless he decides to hang out at a porn site. :/

Or at an erotica site. I know those aren't necessarily the same thing.

I'm not having any significant speed problems at all, and I visit Renderosity several times a day. Geep, are you in the US? Please reconsider before leaving; your tutorials are quite helpful for new users and they'll do the most good on a large site like this one where so many new users can find them. Thanks, SnowS

And here I am just finishing another building using Dr. Geep's methods...

Could be all sorts of things, but it would never have come into existence without Dr. Geep.

(BTW, I'm not seeing anything particularly slow from Renderosity, which may mean the problem is somewhere else.)

I have trouble all the time here too, pages take forever to load, and when I post a message, it hangs forever, and I end up closing the window! When I come back, the message I post is there, but I would never know till I came back and checked :( This is the only site that runs this slow. I'm on DSL and All the other 3d sites load quickly and posting doesn't cause the page to just hang there never knowing if your post worked or not.

I almost never have problems with this site. Occasionally, a forum is slow to open, but that is the exception to the rule. As for getting on Rosity, rarely is it slow. If it is slow, I just go out and come back, but that so rarely happens. I have cable through cox communication. I live in the US if that makes a difference.

Add me to the list of those who have been having serious problems (with cable modem).

Add me as well...cable thru Comcast(US). FYI...over the last week there are already 2 threads going in the COmmunity area reagrding this annoying issue. I have NP in the MP or galleries, just in the forum area >:(.

it tends to come and go..I get 50x timeout messages even on the T3 line at work. Hey - mebbe it's time for some new routers and servers..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

anahl nathrak uth vas betude doth yel dyenvey..;)

The galleries are always a problem for me, especially when doing searches. But even switching from one page to the next takes something along the line of 2 to 3 minutes on a cable modem (Through Comcast as well).

Problems with the forum and general site issues as well. I think they need to upgrade the servers and bandwidth more or else you will see this. Other sites haven't caused any slowness yet due to their bandwidth not being pushed to it's limits like here. Best of luck geep and please PM me too if you find a new home.

Oh...I don't even bother searching.....that's always been a no-no for me. I could go to the store/do a load of wash/smoke many cigarettes & consume quite a few drinks before a search finishes LOL

I have a slow dial up connection and I have problems with downloads from Renderosity whenever I buy something--particularly large files. I'm not sure if it's my turtle speed connection or Renderosity or both. I'm not willing to give up yet, however.

Add me to the "having problems with this site" list. I've had many timeouts and it can take over 5 min for a page to load. My problems are with the forums and galleries (forget about doing a search). The Market Place which is on the same server is fast as lighting....doesnt leave me wondering about priorities. SWAMP

I am loading fast enough with my dial-up but images are very slow, but not slower than images from anywhere else. Could this be a cable issue? I understand they prioritize "packets" and connections in a way that dial-up and DSL don't. My main problem here is if the banners are too flashy... as in flash, but I can search and everything on my machine although FreeStuff pages take a minute or two and Gallery pages maybe 3-5 minutes, and store pages 5-6 minutes... but the forum pages haven't been a problem. I didn't say more re. the value of the DR. cause he already knows I appreciate and respect him.

It's not a cable issue, since less then 2 weeks ago everything went pretty quickly. But the last week it getting slower and slower around here. CU around geep!

I'm getting around the net, no problem. It sounds like your internet hub is busy. Perhaps you should call your internet provider.

Meanwhile, you can check the internet traffic report to see if there's trouble in your part of the world. The US is usually in good shape, but lately Comcast has been having troubles.

Site speed at Renderosity has gone back and forth for me over the years.

It even comes and goes on the same day.

But, Doc......I wouldn't cash in my chips too quickly. You are greatly respected around here.

Sure, there are other sites. Take your pick.

But Renderosity is the grandaddy of 'em all. Only PFO could lay claim to being almost as venerable -- and PFO is kaput.

Of course, when one talks of anything being "venerable" in terms of Poser.......well, that's relatively speaking.

:-( Please tell us all where to find you and your wonderful tutorials and insight until you are able to return (which hopefully will be very soon!) I hate to see you leave here. It's been kind of slow loading some pages here but I haven't had the a timeout message like Doc has (at least not yet).

Sensei, Please leave a forwarding address.... The PoserPros Forum might be a good new home.

I've had many other online freinds with the same issues,, the site is jusy too damned slow for them to want to use. I'm finding more and more, I'm hanging at RNDA and Daz/Poser Pros, partially because of how fast thier websites respond. I try to check here daily, and I usually browse and read other websites while I browse here, because I get tired of waiting for the next page update.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

I always have problems here, very slow, but I can't leave, I care for everyone too much. I have cable too. Sharen

DSL in the UK here and this site is usually slower than any other. This week has been glacial. Waiting for a page to open is like watching hair grow but not as exciting.

Just to chime in... Roadrunner here and I've not had trouble until just the last 2 weeks or so with Renderosity. For some reason it's just crawling for me, which is very unusual. Geep ya can't leave...this place wouldn't be the same without ya!

From what I've observed part of the slowness of this site is almost everything ties into the market place. I don't know if other browsers can see the status that I watch using Netscape 7.01 or not but I constantly see ' sending request to blah blah marketplace' Then after the page loads I get a document done status. This page took 44.875 seconds to finish. The free area is worse, it sends requests to all off site pages and they have to respond before the free stuff page finishes. If it was possible to set the forum up on it's own server that could show an improvement in speed.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.

Doctor oh my doctor!!!I will follow you where ever you go. Yes this site is slow for me too!!! LUV Ya ---Mychelle

Don`t go.

Is he getting a little S L O W ?

The pages on this site are very slow to load lately... I usually have free cell or texttwist going, or a render on another machine to watch. Since it suddenly got much slower, I don't think it is related to the traffic buildup on this site but a problem with a hub or backbone or server somewhere else... like in Tennessee. There are slowdowns on other sites, too. DAZ was timing out last night and PoserPros still hasn't managed to get their cookie machine to keep folks logged in. I've even had problems with RDNA and opening webmail messages. Hmm... I suggest a purring lap-cat. While waiting for the page to load, you can be giving her the attention she needs, and she can give you the relaxation and contentment only a happy cat can offer a spoiled owner. Carolly

DR. GEEP YOU CAN COME TO MY HOUSE AND USE MY NETWORK AND SYSTEM AND COMPUTER....I CAN ALWAYS GET IN AND HAVE NEVER HAD THAT MESSAGE YOU GOT. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEE GEEP DON'T GO. (tears included)

Y'know, and I've mentioned this before I think, I'm surprised that the darned computers work in the first place! I've got a student who claimed that they could build me a "kick-ass mega-computer system" out of any parts I could provide. I brought him a five pound bag of high grade silica sand and said "git'er done, boy!" He didn't understand until I explained that the silica, and a can of crude oil, whas what the entire computer was based on...sand and plastic...and that it was a miracle that they worked at all...kinda like the human brain... I personally, sitting on a 26.6 dialup connection right now, think that the time-outs are just part of life online. Dr. G, you who give us all the desperately needed guidance and guffaws, please...a little patience for your patients.... Your absence would darken an already shadowed doorstep further than it needs to be. Stick around...life is just getting interesting!

AS they say, 'every dog has his day.' I've seen none of this reported slowdown on my dialup connection--it's the same not unreasonable speed as ever. Posts may or may not go through the first time but that's always been an issue here for me. If a 56K connection is what 30 times faster than cable then I tend to suspect it has something to do with the arcane art of routing tables, DHCP, etc. and may not even be something 'Rosity can control i.e. it may be "upstream" from their servers. Has someone actually contacted the PTB and asked them to check? Where's the Penguin, he knows all about this stuff I believe.

But what does the traceroute have to do with HTTP URL access?? A tracert of CGTalk.com (try it) always times out at jump 15/16 for me. Yet, CGTalk.com is very responsive. I think it is unrelated.

Mine got bottlenecked in the same areas as #10 through 15 in kuroyme0161's list above.

Takes me 22 hops to get here. The boards aren't too bad for me right now, but it's midnight and they are usually a bit more speedy at this time of night than during the day or evening for me.

"... A utility that traces a packet from your computer to an Internet host, showing how many hops the packet requires to reach the host and how long each hop takes. If you're visiting a Web site and pages are appearing slowly, you can use traceroute to figure out where the longest delays are occurring." You may have to increase the timeout value. CGtalk times out for me on hop 14 BTW. The more likely cause is a firewall. A quick search reveals that some firewalls block the ICMP packets that (Windows) tracert uses so that even if your http goes through, tracert won't reach it. In that case, tracert won't help. With Renderosity, it's not being blocked so you can get a complete trace. Unix tracert uses UDP packets by default but those may also be blocked at the firewall. There is a version of tracert that use TCP/IP and may get by the block but I only see it available for Linux.

You can also get a Windows tracert--faster and more convenient than the commandline version and with a nice graph as well. Not as nice as the one with the world map that shows your packets zipping around the planet but it's free.

Dangit! "part of the furinture" here, Geep is... Hate ta see that. I was thinking that timeout prob was on my end.. Im having it too...

Now, the tracert thing is interesting, but it really doesn't resolve the problem. And why is it so isolated to Renderosity for many of us. As I've said, I frequent dozens of sites and hit many hundreds during Google searches (mainly for research of one type or another). This is the worst site that I've encountered. If it were actually the Dallas or Atlanta hubs, then we would all need to have a little discussion with them about the inefficiency of their servers. ;)

CASETTE

"Poser isn't a SOFTWARE... it's a RELIGION!"

I come into Rosity several times a day, every day. I've seen no slowdown in the last month or two of any significance. Okay, every now and then a page (e.g. when I click on one of these threads) will load only after a little while or need to be 'reminded'. But generally Rosity works as well as any other site in the US for me. And I'm in Sweden. :] Fish

Just to add another complication, this site always works fast for me at home (ADSL, probably somewhere around 1mbps - offically 750, dialup says 2 meg, performace can be anywhere between), but is always slow at work (200mbps cable). The vast majority of sites are much quicker for me at work. This isn't a recent thing , but seems to be a feature of renderosity. No other sites play up like this Tracert is hitting timeouts at my end, so perhaps the network settings are causing problems with Rendo?

?

"And why is it so isolated to Renderosity for many of us." And why is it working fine for others (Poser 5/6 deja vu)? If anything, it seems a tad faster for me, perhaps because so many high speed users are being shut out. I'm no Net Tech so I don't know the answer. People are going to be taking different paths and hit different routers. Acadia is hitting p6-0-0.RAR1 in Atlanta. I hit p6-0-0.RAR2. I have no idea how that's determined, 1st come 1st served, by location or maybe even by dialup vs. DSL/Cable. We're all hitting the same IP address here but it may be different physical hardware. Something's obviously damaged or misconfigured somewhere but it could be here or on some comsat in geosynchronous orbit over Alaska for all I know. Is anyone on dialup experiencing severe slowdown or is it only DSL/Cable users? Have the admins given no response? Have you been neglecting your monthly NVIATWAS tribute renders to Vicky?

"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." - H. L. Mencken

Im in the UK and have never had issues with Renderosity, sounds strange that people in the US are having trouble, Could it be Geep that you need to change cable provider? or is this an issue with cable? (as i don't surf like many here with cable)... Hope you don't decide to stay away from Rosity Geep, as you will be missed, and probably the most missed. If you do decide to take your wisdom and humour elsewhere i think we all need a post here so we can all visit you. Cheers and all the best Geep on all you do.

Getting old and still making "art" without soiling myself, now that's success.

Hmmm ... well, if this adds any more clues, I'm tossing it out here ... Runtime DNA is hosted by Bondware, I believe, and its server should be in the same vicinity as the Renderosity servers (it traces nearly the same, with the exception of the last hit). But I'm not seeing the same lags on the RDNA pages ... in fact, it's almost "Bing, bang, boom!" So ... all you smart IP folks ... what would that point to? Bandwidth issues?

Runtime dna doesn`t have nearly as many people at the site at any one time.

Right, so it really doesn't have to do with it getting bogged down in the trace route ... it seems to be a bandwidth issue.

My ? would be why with everyone sharing the same bandwidth are only some getting clobbered with multi-minute page loads? No real mention of a particular time either bandwidth should vary at least somewhat at different times. Also if this just started a few weeks ago, did they suddenly lose a couple of servers or a T3 or suddenly get a few thousand new members. Certainly not sayin' it ain't so just wondering.

"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." - H. L. Mencken

Heck, I've gotton so frustrated about the slowness lately that I was just thinking the same thing Dr. Geep expressed. Right now I'm trying Safari just to see if there's any difference between that and IE, my normal browser. It's so annoying!

Before they made me they broke the mold!

Runtime dna doesn`t have nearly as many people at the site at any one time.

Yeah......if 9/10th's of the people browsing Renderosity at any given time would just go away: then we'd probably see a site speed increase.

Not to mention the fact that Rendo would have site traffic levels equivalent to most other Poser sites.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Something To Do At 3:00AM 

@ Xeno...depends on who you are talking about leaving to make it wonderful ;) LOL J/K of course :D

hmmmmm...I'm from the Uk and have a 2 meg cable line, I sometimes experience extreme slowness and somtimes time out but this only happens on rosity....by the way I use IE..I was thinking of switching to Firefox and also my service provider is NTL. Please geep stay awhile longer to see if it gets sorted out.

Yeah......if 9/10th's of the people browsing Renderosity at any given time would just go away: then we'd probably see a site speed increase. LOL Well the point of my bringing up that comparison wasn't to tell people to go away. It was to compare the trace routes and to distinguish that the problem appears to lie with bandwidth capacities rather than it getting hung up somewhere along the path. It looks like basically what it amounts too is "We need more power, captain!" (said in best Scotty imitation voice)

The site has picked up the pace in the forum area...as of right NOW......I would hold my breathe, but that result in a quick death, based on site inconsistencies ;P

I shudder to think what this place's actual monthly bandwidth consumption is.

Providing enough power to achieve Warp 25 might help.

@ dlk...

J/K of course :D

Of course. ;D

The site has picked up the pace in the forum area...as of right NOW......I would hold my breathe, but that result in a quick death, based on site inconsistencies ;P In the last hour, it's gone from instant to horrendous wait to instant to horrendous wait several times over. There is no rhyme or reason as to what is going on.

No, Bobasaur......speaking for myself -- you aren't someone that I would think of in such a context.

Trust me: some of us have fans that would be only too happy to see us walk the virtual plank.

But it's not an issue that concerns me a great deal.

This is, after all, a public board. Within the limits of the TOS.

So long as the TOS isn't violated, we can all come and go as we please.

And no one but the site admins or owners can tell you otherwise.

@Bobsaur.....not me either, as Xeno stated above :)

Are all the people who are suffering with slowdown on Cable???? just wondering as it seams those complaining say they are on cable... hmmm ohh for a solution that doesn't involve people leaving rosity (like Geep), that would be wrong

1. No, I'm on T1. Others are on DSL, ADSL, T3, and so on. No relation to internet connectivity type. 2. PapaBlueMarlin: But not all of us come here strictly for Poser... ;) I am a regular at the Cinema 4D forum as well as a occassional viewer of the DAZ|Studio, Bryce, Shade, UVMapper, and other forums. Does "Poser forums" offer these? ;0) CGTalk, although not offering a Poser forum, is probably my second home after Renderosity when it comes to 3D CG forums.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.

"No, I'm on T1. Others are on DSL, ADSL, T3, and so on. No relation to internet connectivity type." Unless dialup has its own router/some other infrastructure element and dialup isn't experiencing a slowdown.

Im on DSL (ADSL) and until now had not had any slow down, but on trying to open this forum page from my e-mail i had to try 3 times....hmmm perhaps there is something amiss.. although as i write this it is peak usage time (just as the kids get home from school).... answer... Dont let kids on computers... then we shall have faster surfing..lol
