The last couple weeks i've had intermittent trouble selecting a link to another page (example: clicking 'next' to go from one forum topic page to the next) on invelos.com.  It will work fine for a time then suddenly a click won't work.  It appears (based on the status bar) the request is made on my end but i never get a response.

If i open another tab and attempt to get to the Invelos homepage i never get a response.  Other tabs and any other web site work just fine.  The connection to the net is good.

To fix this i must close Firefox and restart it.  Everything is then fine...until it isn't again.

My Firefox is up-to-date (2.0.0.5) as are all extensions, which haven't changed in months.  I don't know if it is a local problem, an HTML issue or what.

I just wanted to see if anyone else has encountered such a problem and if so found a solution.

I get the same problem occasionally with IE 7., I can't link from page to page on Invelos.., BUT I can go to the main forum page but not its directories as quickly., When I click over over to Home page, I'm there in a split second,, click back over to Invelos, I'm there., click onto an individual site and it takes longer., So I just attribute it to time of day, and slow servers..

I get the same problem with Firefox when I'm connecting from work.  I'm on a Mac there, and always suspected it had something to do with Firefox and Mac not working well together. It isn't just Invelos site that gives me the problem though.  It's just whatever site I happen to be on when it goes sour.  I can't even select text on the page when it does that, and restarting the browser is the only fix I've found so far.

It's called net traffic.  You are going through a lot of hops to get to the actual site of the webpage, and sometimes the request gets lost in the weeds due to bottlenecks and slow servers, etc.

It isn't traffic in this case.  If it was i would not be able to switch to another tab and go to other sites (any other site) and get a normal response.  I wouldn't be able to switch to IE and get right thru to Invelos.

Believe me the first thing i thought was "lost request".  I'd stop the page update and request it again,  but once this starts it doesn't stop.

Odds are it's on my end and i just haven't the problem.  I may have to break down FF by removing the extensions and seeing if it fixes things, then add them back to see if one of them is the problem.

Can confirm some speed problems for today (15:30 MEZ). Using latest FF and Fasterfox plugin. But no issues yesterday and the days before. Maybe a temporary problem?!

I'm running the latest update, as well as the latest versions of the plugins I use.  No problems here at all.  There are tweaks you can make on Windows itself to improve xmit/recv performance on the net, but only if you know what you are doing.  I still think most of the speed fluctuation is due to traffic variances on the net.  Your packets never take the same path twice in a room once you get past a certain point anyway.

One thing I've found that helps a lot of these irritating little problems is keeping your system drive free of clutter, optimized at least twice a week, and have plenty of contiguous free space, and run a Registry cleaner regularly to clear out the deadwood that accumulates.
