postgresql.org is unreliable
Hi
Does anyone else find the site postgresql.org kinda unreliable? Many times
it's stalled for a while. And it's not just today, but very often. It's
really frustrating especially when I regularly use it to look up
documentation.
Is there any mirror to the site ?
Thanks.

Is it specifically the documentation, or the whole site, or? I just
looked over the server, and loadavg is normal (avg <5) ... and I find her
responsive ...
The other question is what sort of net lag are you seeing, if any?
Is there any mirror to the site ?
New mirror system is just about to go live ... just finishing up some DNS
stuff for it ...

give me page loading...
'K, just went to the site from here, went docs and went to 7.2
Interactive, and it all loaded fast ... do a 'search' on the docs, and it
seems to stall, but that is only when I hit the database backend for the
search engine itself, and it reports that its only taking 6sec to get the
results ...
Search results: (6.679 sec) mvcc : 9
Can you tell me how archives.postgresql.org performs from your end? Its a
different database, but its about the same size, using mnogosearch, but I
think its a newer version of it, and I don't have the file caching setup
that I believe Dave has setup for the docs side ...

I am not sure what you meant by net lag. But using recent Mozilla for example,
often time I got page "loading" for a long ... time. And this happen
frequently, but in some other time the site is responsive.
I don't have any problem withany other site or other internet connection
related problems, so I'm inclined to suspect the problem is not on my end.
Thanks for checking this out though.

OK, something really screwy is going on here. I am not sure what. I restarted
Mozilla thinking that it might be the cause. I can search the docs for a
while, but then it happenned again.
Also, I often browse Bruce Momjian's tutorial at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/aw_pgsql_book/index.htmlwhich I thought is just static pages. And it also often stalls there too, even
after restating mozillaI tried with links (text browser) and haven't had any problems so far.
archives.postgresql.org seems fine though, although I haven't really search a
lot there.Not really sure what's wrong, but I might upgrade to the latest mozilla, to
see if it's browser problem, or take it up to their mailing list.
What OS are you running on? I take it, from using links, that its Unix
based?
I'm using Mozilla on XP (its my home machine), and I see a delay on
searching the docs, but figure that is due to the size of teh database
beign searched ... but haven't noticed any 'stalls' :(

I'd be curious as to whether or not you are getting any packet loss
between your machine and www.postgresql.org, specifically around the time
where you are finding it stalling ...
