Still getting URL submission timeout problems?

[Guest cookie_dude]

Hi folks, I have checked with others on alt.www.webmaster and alt.internet.search-engines still having a problem submitting a website, please advise

For timeout problems, we don't have a solution. Try at different times of the day, and hope the hackers get tired of hitting the server, or hope the technical people get a handle on the proxy servers being used.

Yes, they probably will be for "ahwile" too. I can't give you even a rough estimate of when the server issues will be resovled because no one really knows. I can tell you though that dmoz staff is in the process of adding servers to increase speed for ODPs needs into the future. Adding servers is a time consuming process of ordering, waiting for delivery, setting up and testing; it will be some time before ODP is back up to full speed again. Until then we're all suffering through timeouts. My mantra has become "patience patience...". <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

This thread might help you too.

Caching (for instance by your ISP) or internally by your browser can also cause the problem you describe.

I don't know if this will help but I am also having the same problem as what you are facing since my access to the Internet is through a cache proxy. I use sockschain to bypass it.
