Is it me????

Im just wondering if Im imagining things..or that maybe my computer stops running well after 2 am...but at this time...and TONITE especially..im running like im walking in mud!..

Restarted...cleared cache..all the normal jazz...my sim is running like a sloth!
I've noticed that if im on late..it happens..late..as in 2 am and after my time..im in midwest, central time US.

Is it YOU, SL? Cuz this is so bad..I cant even move!!!!! or load..sighs...

Script time on your badkatz sim is like out of control.

i am thinking someone should disable their antivirus scanner... though could be just me

Yep you may want to check your scheduled tasks.

Or your machine had been taken over lol
Kidding lol

man, i tried posting on here last night, too and kept getting the dang error...couldnt post..sighs...maybe aliens were playing tricks with my DSL.

possibilities:
scheduled updates that run in the background:
-virus scanners
-window update
-web synchs
-various other programs (though nightly is a bit weird)

shared lines:
-isp bandwidth is flooded at certain times (multiple users during peak hours)
-P2P software
-intermediate servers getting flooded

isp throttling:
-seems to happen alot when they're doing line tests

backdoor servers:
-only coming on at unlikely hours to try to avoid detection

equipment oeverheating
-computer, router, modem

SL going to pot
-well it's not like it never happens but it'd be low on the list based on time.

that's all I can think of of off the top of my head

I'm not sure if this is related, but a little while ago, I stopped hearing music on SL. That's never happened to me before. Half the people on my sim couldn't hear anything. I switched from my DJ stream to radio and nothing. Tried four more stations and nothing. Another DJ popped his in and I got nothing, but half the people did.

All in all, I'm guessing SL is having a seizure.

I have found that anyone using AVG firewall will experience a lot of trouble on SL and the net . I used it once and it was a nightmare. And many times I have had to troubleshoot guests viewer problems . And low and behold they were all using AVG . I instruct them to dump AVG and find a better one.. After they do, all their networking problems went away..

no avg, here..i dont mess with the freebie stuff ...bought and paid for F-PROT..good stuff...
well..i did restart the sim today..seems to be running better..but i still notice at times early in the morning that SL is ultra laggy.

I use AVG and have no problems.

AVG is not a firewall, it is an antivirus program. I use the freebie version without problems on my puny laptop. I do, however, disable the "link scanner" portion of it. I also configured it to ignore the SL caches; I seem to recall this was harder to find with AVG than with some other antivirals.
.

There is "AVG Plus Firewall", though.

I run AVG Internet Security which includes the firewall and it's never caused problems with SL.
