Yesterday, starting at about 2pm my time (GMT+1) I was mostly unable to access Freecell! I lost more than 10 hours of playing time in the WWC! Mostly I got Firefox Timeout messages. Occasionally I got on to the site, and then I got Freecell "Communicating with server" error messages. Once I was able to display the w9x2 daily results which showed that other players were able to play! At about 5:20 my time, the Freecell site was responding normally (and still is)! Since the Freecell site seems to have been OK, I'm wondering if I was the victim of extra heavy Trans-Atlantic internet traffic?? I'm also wondering if I'm the only player in the world that had difficulty yesterday??? The server at www.freecell.net is taking too long to respond. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. [Try again] Connecting to www.freecell.net... Connected to www.freecell.net...
