    Default [OT] - Why is beatport so slow?

    Is anyone else finding that Beatport is taking unusually long to initialize and load? Seems to apply to IE9, Safari and a lesser degree to Firefox

    i hate beatport's site.

    why you'd build your site entirely from flash is beyond me.. especially if people use your site to buy stuff.

    you'd think they'd overhaul it now anyway with the popularity of all the smartphones and tablets sans flash support.

    I do not mind it, the only part that takes long to load is the main site when i first go to it.

    No 'problem' either - dig the site - just of late seems slower than usual. Maybe traffic due to the discount voucher?

    Yes its always been a bit slow loading up, but if you use the download manager app you get your tracks pretty quick.

    Wow. It's slow tonight.

    Twenty odd songs are going to take all night. No exaggeration there either, it's dismal.

    They need to fix this, it's taking the mickey.

    I prefer the old layout, it was a lot faster. Not a fan of the flash. Also, every time I log in I don't get logged in on almost any computer I access it from. Annoying.
