First week of the fest was perfect, no issues.
But for the past 2 or 3 days now---
I cannot seem to get thru any regular fest without this happening...again, only on this site and only around 6 pm pst for about an hour. I can tell when it starts, and when it ends...its agonizing, and in the middle of my day.
Comcast has no idea why its happening, ping is fine, tracert looks fine...

Images loading slow...its painful to walk in any zone.

Anymore ideas? I know I've brought this up in the past...i dont know if something is changing behind the scenes...

I've cleared browser cache, flushed dns, only use one extension, rebooted comp, and router, firewall is minimum, disk defrag runs once a week...I'm out of ideas, xD

Not sure why it might be a graphic card issue, this laptop was bought in February...so rather quite new still..

Next time you're in the middle of lagging, run a couple traceroutes to sylestia.com and paste the results here.

And then during times where it's smooth - do the same thing so we can compare what's changing.

Will do. Its normal now, so will post

It didn't time out before, but again, no problems right now.

Will see what happens tomorrow around 6pm pst, and then post another later in the evening.

Well, no problems today this go around.

Will see what happens around 12:15 am Sylestia time ...no problems even with 6 timing out.

I find it odd that the first tracert I had done, had 6 filled out. But then the next several times doing this, its timing out.

I don't really see anything wrong with your provided info. On one of the pings to the server itself it was a little elevated, but even then not too bad. The other 2 were normal.

What kind of lag were you experiencing?

Pretty much what LadyM is having happen, the zone isn't loading, photos won't load, forum pages barely load. if I go off the site tho it's loading fine whenever this lag thing happens
