Other sites I visit pop right up. This site always has a slight time delay loading, but today it is simply horrible. I tried Firefox and Safari. I even tried disabling IPV6. What is going on? It is not my cable connection, I have 5MB down.

Loads fine here, I doubt if it's directly related to Mac-Forums, they're hosted by Rackspace.

You could be getting bad routing to the server.

Doesn't look like a routing problem to me, but I am hitting a wall in Rackspace land. See all the ***'s?.

Harryc is in New York and I am in Central calif and getting the very same thing. Most of it seems to be the server that supplies the adds here. I tried 100's of other sites and my P4 and same as on the macs.

I believe the problem is related to the advertisement banner that is located at the top of the page. I have been getting connection problem to the juggler server.
