Argus entry system sucks donkey bollocks!!!

Recommended Posts

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.

of what times of day (South African time) are best to access this
server.

High (also avoid if possible):

07:00 - 07:30

13:30 - 16:30

19:00 - 21:30



Low (reasonable access):

06:00 - 07:00

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.

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.
