Summary: Bandwidth Throttling.
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: Normal
Component: Site requests
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jo...@jeld-wen.com
We just recently switched our content filtering service to Websense. During
our testing phase many users complained of slow responses from wikipedia. I
thought at first it was because it was a page with information about a foreign
country but soon realized it was all of wikipedia.
I opened a ticket with Websense and they informed me that you wikipedia is
throttling the bandwidth back to them. There was no explanation as to why you
would throttle their bandwidth.
As it stands no one in our cooperation is able to use the wikipedia site. Our
only suggestion to our users at this point is to either try to find another
site or revert back to looking it up in a paper encyclopedia. A
ny assistance you could provide in helping us use your site again would be
helpful. Not using Websense is not an option as your site has questionable
material that needs to be blocked for legal reasons.
Thanks.
