The Price of Stability (DSL Sucks)

| | Share

The Price of Stability (DSL Sucks) I've achieved some stability on this site, but at a cost -- I had to turn off the DNS that pointed Pixelfoundry and Weather24 to this server. Basically, even just the error responses to all the misdirected requests still going to those domainns (mostly image reqeusts) was completely hosing my narrow-as-a-straw ADSL connection. Cable would not have this problem. Sigh.

Anyway, with those pointed away, and a few other things changed to reduce bandwidth, the instability seems to have been cleared up. It only took me about 4 hours of my life wasted piddling around with router settings to figure out that the connection was simply too weak to even support a few web requests.
