Cocaine Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 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.
Anticlimb Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 I also struggled , but got through and entered after hitting refresh a few times . Good Luck
Wannabe Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 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!!!

Marius Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 panzies, you should have done it before 12 ai ai, did mine at 11, no problems, what's the hurry anyway, you got months to enter..
Wonder Woman Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 RefreshRefreshRefreshRefreshRefresh I think they test your perserverence or will. How much do you really want to do thisOkay, took me an hour and now I am in. Just keep refreshing and you get there...
Wonder Woman Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Good to see I'm not the only frustrated one. Just as well I can go for a ride this afternoon and get ride of it...
Thyolo Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 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.
Man with no name Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 By 13:45, the system already logged 5,616 entries!!!!

E1A104 Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 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.
