Funny, I really don't have any problems. Large pictures come slowly, and
some people upload BMP's (KL, an idea could to to convert to the JPGs). BMPs
take years to see, but for normal sized pictures (I prefer max 800x600) come
at a normal speed.

Then again sitting in Estonia/Europe (GMT+2) I check brickshelf when yankes
are asleep, maybe that's a reason. I don't know how many en Europe, States
or else where browse brickshelf. I could not find any statistics?

Could geekshelf have any effect on the speed?

Been talking to a few people online and we've all noticed that Brickshelf

I hate to say it but this site is more or less dead to me now. I never check
the recent additions anymore. I never upload anything to it now (and I'm
considering revising my website so it doesn't point to anymore images
there). I honestly don't even like to follow links to it now. I tend to
cringe when I see the brickshelf url in a link.

It really is a shame. I always considered brickshelf to be one of the
foundations of the online LEGO community. Before anyone responds to me and
tells me that "this is a free service" or whatever, realize that I know
this. I just think it would be nice to at least get some sort of response
from Kevin.

(...) Geekshelf has it's own separate pool of bandwidth. While it too is currently maxed out (also due to unexpected popularity), it does not affect the Brickshelf bandwidth. In other words, if Geekshelf were shut off, you would not see any (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)
