Over the past few days my connection speed (as in time to get onto the site) has been slow. It has about ground to a halt now. I have rebooted the router. Hasn't helped though. Computer is started again every day. Any ideas?

You could check your local ISP traceroute to see where
the sott.net route is dropping. Then if possible, locate
a online traceroute close to your area/region to see how
routing responds from a different routing pathway.  You
could also contact your ISP and ask them to check out
routing - perhaps they can assist you.

In my case, I noticed that routing was dropped from
Portland, OR to Washington DC (cogentco.com), so
I fired off a "complaint" email to them but I am not
holding my breath... perhaps I am under watch by
the PTB  :scared:  OR maybe it's no big deal and the
problem goes away. :cool2:  I'll just wait for a few days
and if I still have the problem, I will contact my ISP.

It's been extremely slow for me, too. Is SOTT going through another DoS attack?

From what I understand, SOTT is being attacked by some sort of bots.

Yes, it's a cyber attack and there doesn't seem to be too much we can do about it.

I thought as much, since nothing comes through for two days where I live (Amsterdam). Not even slow going.

I used the links dant gave to track a trace several times but got no specific results. Every time the trace fades somewhere in the cyber jungle, not always at the same point of connection as well. So, inconclusive for the moment.

Is anything known about the type of attack (thank you Guardian for guessing away) and/or any source where it might come from specifically?

Guess we have to wait and see till it's over...

Annoying, to say the least.

Actually I shouldn't guess, that's how rumors start  LOL  A "botnet" was mentioned, so dDOS sounds likely?
