I'm wondering if TexasToast my be a big fan of torrent downloads?

If he's constantly downloading torrents or at the very least doing a lot of heavy duty streaming...his ISP will automatically throttle back his speeds until either the first of the month or until enough time has passed that they believe the heavy usage has stopped.

The other option is that he hasn't paid his bill in awhile and they will keep slowing it down until he either pays the bill or his service is terminated.

I use to download a lot of torrent files and never even came close to hitting my ISP's limit.  My wife watches a lot of streaming video and we still don't come close.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I was thinking of Atman when driving around the big city today.

You're familiar with the big city, and all its four-way STOP signs at major intersections, where one's supposed to stop and wait one's turn to proceed.

<<<bets Atman doesn't wait his turn at four-way STOP signs.

response to Atman

45. Most people on this thread are saying "it's you." The vast majority, in fact.
 
Why are you being so nasty and combative? Who is calling you "stupid" and why is your first "go-to" an assumption that I or anyone would think that of you? Why are you snarling at someone who is actually TRYING to HELP you? Jesus!

Maybe you can find an answer at this link--here's someone with a similar problem, unable to load ONLY one page--and no, it wasn't the website's fault: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-92145-one-certain-site-will-not-load-help

There are a lot of suggestions at that link. Maybe one of them will work for you.

If the problem was with DU, there would be a zillion people griping. There aren't.

47. Actually, there are a "zillion" people griping.
 
But I assume you meant that as hyperbole, since there are nowhere close to a zillion people signed up to DU.

Lots and lots of people griping. So you're not. Yay you.

Now, for the umpteenth time...I have no issues with any other web sites. None. But I see several posters here with the same complaint...DU loads painfully slow, it it loads at all.

So, you have no such problem. Yay, you. I have no such problem with any other web site EXCEPT DU. So I guess you're just awesome. You got the special Skinner Love. I'm just relaying my experience. I can log onto many other web sites and they all function just fine. I can log onto DU and have to click two or three times to get the front page to load.

Obviously it's because I'm an idiot and don't know how to click a bookmark. Asshole.

If that is the only thing Rob McGrath can find to complain about, he has a bit too much White Privilege going on.
