Is the forum timing out for anyone?

95% of the time the host server is awesome and the pages on this board load instantly here at work with our T1 (small company maybe only 2 or 3 users online at any one time). Occasionally there seems to be some congestion, which slows it to about 56K speed.

Basically -- This server is behind a firewall ran by my roommates company. My roommates a long time friend and I get free co-located hosting in a secure rack. But... If when a large request comes in for his servers, bandwidth to mine (and his personal server) gets cut by the firewall to a minimum amount. Most of his transactions are after midnight (syncing) so during the day you will rarely notice it. Its a small inconvienence for free hosting. I do have the option to buy bandwidth from them at cost, and thats about $200 for 1 mbit / month. This site will use about 1-2 GB a month, its only worth the upgrade if we're pushing 100 GB of transfer. 1mbit would get me about 300 GB a month. I figure I have 6 months to work out a way to pay for this site if hosting is needed. Banner ads, affiliate programs (tire rack, brakeworld, etc), and Paypal dontate (memberships?) have come to mind. But for now its wait and see how the bandwidth goes.

Thanks for the info. I'm primarily an accounting type that got landed with the IT function here at work by being the next most capable after the previous person left so it's great to get a bit of an insight.

Hard to tell, I'm on the school's T3. :P I know I never have interruptions here while at home I get intermittent timing out (at least through last night) though the periods of time they've been lasting has been reducing. That's on OS X.2.8 w/ Safari 1.(whatever the latest version)
