Is it just me or are things running about 6 hours slow again?  Have noticed it for the last 2 days or so.

I'm not sure that the feeds

I'm not sure that the feeds are intentionally hampered but I do agree that the reliability of these feeds is not as high as the pay feeds; as makes sense.  I opened this topic because it feels like new articles don't appear for several hours, where in the past they would appear in a matter of minutes.

Feed are not intentionally slow

On August 27th, 2009 andylister says:

Yes you are correct, these feeds do not come with the SLAs of our paying feeds, but there is nothing coded in to hamper them either. We run this service as a side project out of our Labs group where our hardware is begged, borrowed and limited in its capacity - as is the time we have to work on the service. This means we sometimes incur service issues which we would obviously not allow in our paying products. We are sorry for the inconvenience and will continue to trying and improve the service as we can.
