This has happened to me several times and don't know how the CRT website is constructed or why this happens. The internet is terrible today in Jaco. I can't get to hardly any sites and if I do it takes forever. CRt is working like normal. Can anybody explain that? Whatever you did, good on ya..

Thirdworld:
I can honestly say it is more than likely do to the fact we run a dedicated server that is 90% more than we actually need which under normal or challenged circumstances you should get and always receive a very fast response time even in slow or horrible connection areas.

Just my guess but glad it helps you out down there!

Thank you for supporting CRT!

Thanks Admin. Yeah, it's very strange, have not had it happen with any other websites. I've been in different locations at different times and CRT was the only website I could go to. Doing something right for sure.

check your download speed:

http://www.speedtest.net/

It will automatically list a server in San Jose that will measure the download speed of data to your machine.

Thanks for sharing, Brother Steven1. I tried it and came up with 400Kb/s on a dial-up connection. They have a new sister site, www.pingtest.com (now in beta) that measures quality of signal (mine was poor).
To move things along a bit, look into Download Accelerator Plus for static stuff and Speedbit Video Accelerator for vids and such. Both work well, are stable and available for free at www.download.com a trustworthy CNET.com subsidiary. They both work by streaming stuff from multiple "mirror" servers. Indespensable for dial-up connections, helpful for everybody.

I find the same thing here in Canada. At times when the net sucks and have a hard time pulling up other sites seems I can always pull up CRT.
