Is it annoying? Yes. Is it crippling? No. Wait 15 seconds and hit refresh. As long as you've got another page to look at while you're waiting for the server to respond you should be good to go. I might recommend finding a good webcomic or flash game for the busy server times.

I kind of have to agree with you. I was going to make a trip to the transferlist and the server went down. First time this season for me though...

At around this time every day for about the past week access has been slow and I've been hit with the 'Server is Busy' message a few times. Each time, clicking Refresh about 15 seconds later has allowed me to refresh. Sometimes the refresh takes up to a minute. This is obnoxious for browsing the forums and using the TL. I have never experienced any wait over a minute that I have not been able to solve by clicking the link to wherever I wanted to go. What I'm assuming is happening on the server end is that your request got lost due to traffic and for some reason your browser is never timing out. Resending the page request usually solves this.

I'm not saying I wouldn't like this fixed. It's annoying as heck. But if you're patient enough to refresh when things aren't working correctly you shouldn't run into any massive issues. The TL has a 3 minute timer on new bids. With some moderate use of the refresh button, you should never come into a position that you can't make a bid within that timer.

at this time every day, the website get's difficult to browse, it takes long loading times between the pages, and server is too busy sometimes takes more than 5-10mins to refresh. i'm thinking this is not a bb issue. but bb's isp. and it's annoying as hell.

btw, today i was convinced these problems is for a whole Lithuania community. every time the game viewer stopped, you get a lot of swears on game chat.

I'd like to think it's because of a spike in new users causing the servers to work harder...
I'd hate to think it's because the new server host is worse than the last one...

I'm sorry but no unscheduled downtime is good downtime. It's happening too often.
