There has been some sluggishness on the Internet since midnight EST, and core routers in Indonesia and Taiwan appear in some cases to be down.

Any websites I surfed through at that time - along with multiple images - would've been first time browsing...

Thank you for the information. I was IM with a someone in Florida and posting pictures. Suddenly all the pics disappeared on two different servers in two different counties at exactly the same time. I immediately checked sites in four counties and no pictures or logos were displays, the text came up immediately.

The person in Florida did the same with the similar results. Up until that time the refresh rate was a couple of seconds. There was no gradual slowing down, which would indicate the build up of traffic, We went from almost instant response to zero, only on logos and pictures. Six or seven minutes later the web returned to normal.

In your IE browser, under Tools, Internet Options..., Advanced tab, make sure "Show pictures" is checked. :-)

This situation reminds me of the funniest virus I ever saw. It was when I was monitoring child porn newsgroups and documenting some real creeps. Well, some anti-pedophile hacker posted a virus in there as a "sex game". Turns out it was a Trojan that the hacker had modified so that the only thing it did was rip through a hard-drive and erase all .gif's, .bmp's, and .jpg's. Some of the pedo's were screaming that they lost thousands of pics....

I laughed for weeks :-)
