BBC sites very slow.
This is with RISC OS and development builds, currently #2441, but has been happening for several days now. Any of the BBC sires are now taking a lot longer to download, maybe by a factor of five to ten times as long. They are now even slower than the www.msscociety.org.uk sites which till now have been the slowest to download. I've checked my connection speed, and it's much the same as usual. Is this a problem with NetSurf or with the BBC sites? I suspect the latter. Best wishes, Peter. -- Peter Young (zfc Re) and family Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

Everywhere I've tried to browse today has been very slow, with Firefox on a very fast broadband connection. -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own.

Have you done the same comparison using another browser (on another OS), to confirm that it's actually NetSurf and not the sites themselves? For many sites, your connection speed won't be the limiting factor. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/

Haven't noticed the Beeb being slow, but the MS Society link you gave loaded here in 4.7 secs, the forum link in 0.7 and the support link in 2.6 secs respectively - I wouldn't call that slow, personally. Setup is a RaspPi RO 5.21 (900Mhz) running NS 3.2 official release. -- George
