Time to clean up your computer? Clean and defrag and get rid of stuff you no longer need. Active times on the server will also cause this from time to time, but not very often for me, and I'm limping along on a piece of junk, thrown together half functioning laptop, external keyboard and monitor. Try dial up and you'll be impressed with the way things run here.
GO HERE CCleaner
Download the latest version. It's free. It's great. I've been using it for years.
I run it every couple of days.
Run the regular cleaner and the registry cleaner.

Seems very brisk to me, but I'm on a Mac with a really fast cable connection...

I think FireFox helps by the way. IE is slow for me for almost anything comparatively. Forgot to mention that. By the way.......now seems to be a peak time on the server near as I can tell. My wireless connection plays a small part at 54mbps and low to very low connection and depending on the weather and where my laptop is in the house.
We have slowed down as traffic continues to pick up. Once we do an upgrade, it immediately starts declining, bit by bit, with the increased traffic. You are probably noticing that. Those of us with fast connections and robust ISPs make take a bit longer to notice the degradation but I agree that it's there. I did check the stats and we continue to be doing pretty well as far as the server statistics are concerned, but worse than we were a year, a month and even a week ago.....

I agree with Bumper! I use Linux and I do not have Windows connectivity issues. It has slowed. I have a fast pc and a 15mbps connection that is actually 18-20 stable.
Hey that is life and it is a good sign that there are more people interested in exercising the 2nd Amendment rights and getting educated and educating others.

Life is hard when you are getting popular......
I don't really notice the connectivity issues because like a previous poster, I use a linux machine so none of the Windows crap ever affects me.....

It sounds like a good system and kudos for running XP Pro. Vista just never lived up to the hype huh? Another version of WinDOHs ME!!

Isn't it so incredibly wonderful to get all of this for free and to be able to laugh at the whole Virus thing??????
I am sold on Ubuntu 9.04, what flavor are you hooked on?

Vista another version of Windows ME? I don't think so. While I had very little problem with Windows XP Pro, I have had even less with Vista Ultimate. If you wait and buy an operating system after the first service pack is released you won't have many problems. I find Vista is more robust and manages memory better than XP. I have never had a blue screen, system lockup or been forced to reboot with Vista. Different strokes for different folks but Vista works very well.....

You mean a 15 megabit (mb) cable connection, 3.15 Gigahertz (Ghz) processor and i take it you have 4 Gigabytes (Gb) of RAM, but the 32bit version of windows can only recognize 3.15 Gigabytes of it.
(sorry to be anal, just clearing it up)
It seems your computer, as long as Virus/Spyware scans come up empty, isn't the problem.
Is there perhaps somebody else using your internet connection? Maybe a kid online with his Xbox or downloading music or movies or something?
If that's not the case either than the website server is probably to blame.
