technical issue Constant slowness/downtimes

Hi,

 

Is there something going on with the servers? I'm getting constant slowdowns, if not, complete downtimes. I tried pulling the powerline adapter out and putting it back in with no luck. Other sites load fine, and isup.me suggested it wasn't just me at the time. What's going on? Thanks!

Yeah, the sysadmins tell me that there's something weird going on in the background. An errant process connected to the email notifications is eating IO for no readily explainable reason. They're working on it.
