How is firefox these days? In particular with scripts, like Panda Crazy? Last time I used it (a year ago) it used to leak memory like there was no tomorrow. Is it a stable work environment?

Works fine for me without any issues, though anything that requires audio sometimes doesn't always work so I use Chrome when that happens.

it's just so weird. every site I visit on the net is fine, using VPN or not using VPN. But in any browser, I go to https://worker.mturk.com/ and it's just so slow. Again, in any browser same thing. Was getting lots of "waiting for available socket" messages yesterday, so that must be big clue. I've tried clearing all mturk related cookies but makes no difference. Oh well, take a day off and see how it stands tomorrow :) night all

I have no clue what's happening to you, but do you ever check https://worker.mturk.com/status/?ref=w_ft_sh to see if it's an mturk prob?

I only worked an hour today total. I was gone most of the day for a family celebration, and when I got home, I thought I could make a little money. Unfortunately, my heart wasn't in it - I got caught up in a movie, and ended up returning almost everything I caught, lol. NO REGRETS. It felt good to do something normal!!!

maybe this is clue, tried pinging worker.mturk.com twice, got same result, one "request timed out":

i pasted that into URL about a minute ago. Still loading :)
In firefox, it says "transferring data from worker.mturk.com", so god knows.....
I think your VPN must be having issues as the AMT health site comes right up and the archives for the last few days shows green meaning there do not seem to have been any problems with the site.

yeah, sound likely, just I rebooted without launching VPN, not even logged into VPN now, and it's the same.

And I just got 2 time outs when I pinged worker.mturk.com. Ping ANYTHING else in the world, and it's fine, lol.

Definitely something my end, I get that, but what is it, it's a weird one.

I flushed Windows DNS cache with: ipconfig /flushdns
Now I get the status page coming up, so that's a good start ✔

but still bad pings of worker.mturk.com and very slow page loads

Anything else I can clear / flush in Windows? :)

yeah, something very wrong locally:

tracert worker.mturk.com

Tracing route to worker.mturk.com [54.239.29.158]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

20 * * * Request timed out.
21 * * * Request timed out.
22 * * * Request timed out.
23 General failure.

Need to show that to my ISP I guess :)
