Just curious to know if anyone noticed any significant slowing of the GWW Community in the home stretch of the 200,000th post contest?

I was really surprised... I didn't notice one at all :)
My internet is always slow so I can't tell...
Actually it went very well here too, and usually it's like posting through a pile of mud ... the posts would just hang and you have no idea if it went through.
very fast, until we hit 200,015 or so when my internet connection crashed...a sure sign of the oncoming rain.
ps - microwave internet connections suck!
have you tried satellite? I have before and it was reallllly badQuote:

yes, I was on one-way satellite when I was living in the bush in Australia, all uploads had to go thru my dial-up connection (33.6) but at least downloads were a consistent 512kbps. That was a few years back when 512kbps was an ok speed. I am stuck on microwave now as its the only thing offered where my house is in Panama :(
aww I feel your pain, for about 6 months last year I was stuck with satellite connection that was down about 12 hours everyday making my work almost impossible because my provider sold all his bandwidth...
