The site is currently very slow in responding,and another american blogger Small Dead Animals is reporting upwards of 200,000 visits per day.It would seem that some of the traffic is generated by canadian government servers.Are they purposely trying to crash the site. I can't access Captain's Quarters now and was wondering if other freepers may have better luck.

Back during Lewinsky, I believe that Jim mentioned that lots of hits to FR were coming from US government (.gov) domain hosts.

They weren't trying to crash the servers -- probably just loggin in to find out how much we knew. Back then, FR's servers didn't need any outside help in crashing.

I was able to get on this morning. I think it was this morning or very late last night.

Tee hee. I love the Internet. Couldn't some other people who host underutilized websites set up mirror sites, to soak up the traffic?

WOW! And to think, I always thought Canada was a free country. This reminds me of the USSR era, government control agencies....communism rules in Canada!

WOW! I looked at that site today and wondered (and scratched my head!) as to what the slowness was about. (I also have dial up-lol)

Freerepublic rocks - still - with knowing the skinny on EVERYTHING!

Don't be thinking Canada is FREE - Dr. Laura is banned there for her opinions about gay marriage...
