If I click anything in the menu from "summary" to "results" the connection will just reset.

Rebooted and still resetting.

Btw. CSS is garbling somewhat, if i address www.mersenne.org instead of mersenne.org.

I guess I have a problem with the transparent proxies, the ISP/country here is using.

When I am in Thailand I sometimes find I have to use TOR to get access stuff that I wouldn't normally have trouble with. Even some of my VPN connections are blocked occasionally. But Thailand is not the worst of offenders in this regard.

Yeah, if you're behind a proxy, then hosts file entries aren't going to do much. The proxy will usually do it's own lookup on the host name.

We had that problem in my office for the longest time, which caused all kinds of problems when we wanted to hit one of our test servers but using the production URL. We finally got rid of the proxy, and wouldn't you know, things were actually faster. Proxies can be slow... they *can* be fast, but usually they slow things down in my experience.

I've made the DNS changes --- we're awaiting the hordes.

Seems to have now been propagated. So now we can expect the work units (LL tests etc.) to finish faster, right?

LOL... if only. :)

Well, actually if a client gets an assignment a few millisecond faster, then yeah, I guess it would finish that much faster?

I can access the site normally and everything looks good. Good work gentlemen! I'll donate some of my GHz-Days so you can buy yourselves a beer or three.

I just tried the Classic report and it was nearly instantaneous!

Love it. It did faster than that in my tests when I temporarily propped a door open for webpagetest.org to test the new server a couple weeks back. But notice that the base page downloads really quick... there's just a lot of CPU usage there because it's a lot of data to display.

I mean, content download of 636 ms now compared to 12,918 ms on the old server. Just for that base html data. That was the benchmark that really got me hyped about the new setup... of course it has everything to do with gzipping the server response, but still...

It seems somewhat curious that the graph of TFLOPS at the top of http://www.mersenne.org/primenet/ on this day and like prior occasions of multiple hour outages didn't register any twitch at all.
I guess it is highly smoothed!
