    Does something happen at 9:15 GMT?

    For some reason the site seems to lock up at 9:15 GMT every day (which is frustrating both because I am usually on the site at 9:15 and because it reminds me that I am on the site at 9:15 every day). Is there some maintenance or something at that time?

    Assuming my conversion is right, no, nothing at that time.

    In US Mountain Time there are scripts that run at 4 and 6 in the morning nightly to back things up, then a larger one Sunday mornings at 7, that is it.

    How bizarre - this happens every day whether I'm at home or at work, and the site seems to be inaccessible for 5 minutes. Perhaps it is a weird UK thing.

    ooops, nevermind, didn't see your post till after I hit Submit Reply

    --Fifth, maybe there is some (background?) scheduled maintenance going on with your computer? a virus scanner? software updater of some sort? you could try checking out your Scheduled Tasks in your Windows Control Panel, or, going into your Windoze Task Manager (hold the Ctrl and Alt keys while you click Delete key once) when it happens to see what's going on?

    Silly me. I thought this was one of Fifth's poems. I was saying to myself, what an original title for a poem.

    It can't be something computer related as it happens both at home and at work - we're not linked in anyway, the only common element is that it's lit-net - I have no problem accessing other internet sites. At 9:15 if I try to move around the site I get a 'time out' message, and this continues until 9:20.

    You now realise I will have to write a poem with that title! Great idea Virge.

    Perhaps it is just a time of high traffic? Sorry that I cannot offer more useful information.

    To test Fifth's theory, today I came to the Forum at 9 am and yes, lo and behold, at around the time she mentioned (it started at 9.13 for me actually), I could not access to the site for about 6-7 minutes either.

    Yes, I was thinking about it the other day too.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    i get the same problem at 10.15 GMT+1 (= 9.15 GMT). the page won't load and there's a server time-out. I have to reload it a couple of times before I can access it

    The same happens to me too, sometime between 1:45 - 2:00 pm, India time. I ignored it, thinking this must be the usual time for server updates or something.

    I really like the title for this thread...it draws me in every time, hoping it's some poem or narrative...Can someone please write one for my own satisfaction? :P

    Say, that's 5:15 PM at GMT+8, right? I experience the same thing over here, only it happens more often. In fact, right now, at 2:44 PM, litnet has just recovered from its most recent lockdown.
    Wish hard enough, I could turn it to what I like.
