Why does it take longer to connect to ParaChat sometimes?
In most cases you experience slow connect times and response times because of any computer on the Net between your machine and ours being down or slow.You can often determine which computer on the Net is causing the problem by doing a traceroute to see the connection lags. From time to time, we are all victims of Internet slow downs. We pay a lot of money to make sure that we are one hop away from all the major NAPs and are on a fast low latency backbone. But even that is no guarantee that the net in general will not be slow and sluggish. You may want to just check back later when the net is behaving better.
