I'm very noob with this

Was just showing your the server name you asked for.

That was the fastest of the lot right? Not sure if I read/understood that initial graph correctly

These were my results:

4.2.2.5 is half way down the list, 8.8.8.8 is fastest (for me)

can't access warp.net with WA - anyone else?

Somethings wrong at WA. Had issues over the last two days. Had several tabs open with unable to resolve target. Changed DNS to google and all the sites loaded normally. Anyone from WA around?

Also couldn't access warp.net, as a test. Worked fine after the change.

AHA! So other people are experiencing problems too! Thought it was just me.

What is a bit upsetting is that WA blamed congestion. First suggested I restart my device, then blamed congestion. Certain sites won't load myBB being one, others fly.

 

[Praeses]

No problems here. Maybe try restarting your router to allow it to get new DNS settings?

 

[sand_man]

I've never really bothered with anything other than the default DNS servers but due to the WA issue took Gary's advise and changed to openDNS. Not sure if physiological or not but sites appear to render noticeably quicker than before!!

Been there, done that*. Problem persists.

Give this a try to find the fastest DNS servers - https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

Every time I download this it shows 0 bytes. Running it gives me "Not a valid win32 application".
Does this work on Win7 64bit?

Yup - I run it regularly on Win 7 64-bit Ultimate

Hmm, wonder what is the issue.
I thought maybe it is the AV, but it is not.

Will try it from another pc.

Got it down and working.
Not sure why the downloads were corrupted.

Did you point them to this thread? Might help if they realise it's numerous people complaining.

Thanks man
