Cocaine Posted September 1, 2006 Share This Argus entry system sucks! I got online at 12:00 and began my entry process...only to get through the first couple steps and have page timeout cause of the high load. Now the server is to busy and it wont let me back in... You would think that with the cycle tour expecting a high amount of traffic they would have distributed the load over multiple servers. Its really not that difficult to do especially considering they've had easily 6 months to figure something out. I mean is it really to difficult to ask that they have some foresight and think about the thousands of cyclists trying to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted September 1, 2006 Share Started way before 12 (at around 10h30 (just took a chance)) and did a whole batch of entries, no problem. The guys entering after 12 is going to struggle!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thyolo Posted September 1, 2006 Share The load on the site was totally forseeable by the organisers, and, having changed the system for this year, some provision could have been made to accommodate the rush. Will try again when it's dark and people can't use company internet to hang on for the necessary hour to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E1A104 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Do you really think they care if you can get onto the server and enter - if they miss you, there's a whole lot of folks "queuing" up behind you that they are bound to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
