Retrieving weather info is terrible

[Basch]

The last few weeks retrieving and/or updating the weather information is terribly slow.
Sometimes no connection at all. Fun has gone.

I too have noticed that it is often slower than normal. Maybe too many happy users for the server? Pasha will have to tell us what he notices.

Oh well, exactly, too many users.
Looks like I need to add one more server.

Flash widget and the weather are loaded from different servers.
Do you experience the problem with weather loading or widget content loading or both?

Let's wait for one more week.
If the widget is still slow I will order a new server.

Nice knowing that there are many Widget users
Sometimes I do not get a connection at all.
Very often the widget is not loaded very well and most of the time it takes a very long time to see the content...
I hope it's getting better. I first thought I did not 'install' the widget in a right way. (was not the case)
I think for many users it is a bit confusing when they do not know the cause of the problem.
They probably think it's their own fault (not the case).
May be you should mention (FAQ Widget) what is happening in case there is a bad connection, an overloaded server and so on...
Thanks for the support.

Pasha,

When it is slow for me it seems to be the widget content that is taking longer. Sometimes it will load quickly.

Example: today august 31 it took about 2 minutes (14:56 - 14.58) before the content was displayed.
I now can dream the spinning circle (on IE tab)

Hi Pasha,
I agree with our friends. Since 1 to 2 weeks the content is much slower as before. But it is different during the day period.

For me, the widget has been loading fast again for the last couple days. Much better.

Hello:
I have noticied over the last month the retreiving of weather on the widget is very slow. In some case in takes over a minute on my website.
I am hoping you can address this issue soon the widget data should load in 10 seconds or less.
Thanks
