No probs here on the mac w/ safari or FF.

Works fine for me.

I'm the one who has the problem. Here's the facts, just to clear things up.

First of all, the problem is ONLY with PDD. All other sites work normally.

I'm using a MacBook with Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Firefox seems to get the worst performance, though the other two are also very bad. I often cannot get the site to load at all.

I also tried using a PC running Ubuntu and Firefox, on the same wi-fi network, and experienced the exact same problem.

But sometimes, like right now for example, the site works just fine.

This has been going on for about three days now, and if no one else has had any problems, I'm at a loss as to what's going on.

I've had periodic issues where it wouldn't load at all in the last couple weeks.  Also a time or two where it seemed slower than normal. It has been fine the last two days.  I am running Windows XP and Firefox.

In case you have Qwest: There have been some issues in the last month with service going off and on.  Then I have to unplug and plug in again.  I called in and it was a glitch on their end.  

Things seemed a bit slow to load on my own site this morning so I did an update and clean, but I did notice I got a error message from Yahoo a few minutes ago that their system is slow.  Next click it worked fine.  Have no idea if any of this relates to anything. duh.

PDD has always loaded slow for me, but then, I'm the last person ever on dial-up.  But if anything it's been loading a bit quicker than usual the past couple days.

Could be the Google-served ads?

Barrett, aren't you part developer for the site.  Perhaps you have background site management software running in another browser or on the desktop?

Just a guess.

I do suggest restarting your dsl/cable modem and router. That often clears up such issues.

Little Snitch rocks.
