this is my blog.
hmm.. ok so im using http
i tried on explorer and chrome and nothing changed, javascript is enabled, flash is up to date. i did restart my browser (i just updated it to the last version of firefox 8... but to no avail, even this page is only half loaded), i didnt have nay recent problems with my os nor did i make any upgrades, cookies are enabled.
again i clear the cookies and it works better sometimes but just to open my blog page and when i login i can't do much else.

so after all this i guess i can be a problem of my ISP? but about this i have no idea how to proceed, not very knowledgeable in that area. all i know is that its a dsl connection (good one) and that i dont know how to see how many proxy i jump.

thank you again :)

i set up my blog last week and it was working perfectly fine up until two days ago. not just my blog, wordpress.com in general went turtle speed.
it just works (sometimes) after i clear my cookies and restart firefox, but even then i have to log in again and once i do that and try to post anything or just go to my dashboard it gets cranky again, so its not realy working.
i am running firefox 7 on windows 7 with a pretty good connection speed.
im in portugal, i notice that maybe this is a region problem (london/uk servers?)..

thanks :)

It looks like the UDP timeout problem is likely unrelated. can you provide the HTTP response headers from a successful request? Thanks - the Edgecast folks are monitoring this thread and awaiting your reply.

curl --head s0.wp.com timed outed.
traceroute s0.wp.com (UDP) stuck at last node, as mentioned.
traceroute -I s0.wp.com (ICMP) succeeded.

A few seconds later it came back (except for UDP traceroute).

Thanks for looking into it.

Current situation: I can ping s0.wp.com, and it opens from the browser. Traceroute, however, still stuck at the last hop (195.66.224.62). OS X's traceroute uses UDP packets by default. When I try ICMP, it works well:

<br /> $ traceroute -I s0.wp.com<br /> traceroute to gs1.wac.edgecastcdn.net (93.184.220.20), 64 hops max, 72 byte packets<br /> ...<br /> 5 212-200-236-189.static.isp.telekom.rs (212.200.236.189) 15.934 ms 18.097 ms 15.331 ms<br /> 6 212.200.6.238 (212.200.6.238) 66.819 ms 61.288 ms 51.821 ms<br /> 7 212.200.5.105 (212.200.5.105) 37.530 ms 32.749 ms 29.709 ms<br /> 8 212.200.5.33 (212.200.5.33) 51.389 ms 50.550 ms 51.465 ms<br /> 9 195.66.224.62 (195.66.224.62) 72.547 ms 51.120 ms 58.081 ms<br /> 10 93.184.220.20 (93.184.220.20) 51.185 ms 51.941 ms 51.178 ms<br />

Not sure what's the deal with UDP packets, as previously it worked, so maybe it's not related after all.

Connection issues with 93.184.220.20 happen only occasionally. I will post into this thread if we'll notice them again. If you're interested (and if some DoS protection don't block me), I can setup a script to periodically (e.g. every 5 minutes) try to get something from this server by HTTP, run it for a day or so, and tell you how often it fails.
