This weekend has been a continued slow down with some delays, some longer than others.

The Who's On Line "Guest" count has been steadily climbing most of the weekend, now currently exceeding 1900 and sometimes 2000 guests. A random check through IP addresses, I sampled about 50 different IPs, shows about 80% of those guests are supposedly located in South America. Brazil and Argentina are the most prominent of the South American locations, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the various IP's. These represent multiple ISPs (service providers) and don't appear to be "bots", but I can't recall when we have had this much activity from the southern hemsphere part of the world.

There are also repeat guest blocks of IP's from Vietnam (200+ beginning with 14, 100 + beginning with 113, 70 + beginning with 123), and many random IP's from Singapore.

Just info for thought should there be something to help identify what's going on and perhaps a means to counter the overwhelming activity.
