Yes I noticed it but thought it might be something with my computer etc.

I turned it off, and unplugged the modem for a few minutes which sometimes cures problems but had no effect.

[BuffaloJack]

yes. and for several weeks.

[digger48]

I’ve been having to stop the download and then hit refresh.

Comes right up then

[Pelham]

[Elderberry]

Are you logged in?

[central_va]

I dunno, I’m waiting for the page to load and I’ll tell you when it’s done.

[Buttons12]

I’ve noticed it. It started happening right after the last time the site was down — I forget when, maybe months, maybe weeks ago.
A page loads a few lines and the rest is blank for several seconds. No big deal. Sometimes it may be 15 or 30 seconds. I don’t think it’s ever been longer.
I use Firefox and Opera, mostly on Win8.

[MotorCityBuck]

Big Time.

[Innovative]

I have no problems, everything is working fine.

[piytar]

Free Republic is likely under even more DDOS and other attacks than usual (which is a lot). Amazed they have kept the site up as well as they have.

[Celtic Conservative]

Better latent than never.

[King Moonracer]

I’ll let you know after the page loads.

[deweyfrank]

Yes, much slower, at times, than it normally was.

[laxcoach]

I’ve got gigabit and yesterday was so latent I couldn’t deal with it. The front page loaded, but individual threads were slow.

Today is better

[Fiddlstix]

Yep! That’s A Big 10-4

[PLMerite]

Like my lesbian ex-girlfriend said, “better latent than never.”

[soycd]

Yes, but put this on in the background and the latency will be more sublime ...
