DynamiteData is slowing me down

[Schadenfroh]

Whatever this is that loads with anandtech (I guess add related?) is greatly reducing load times for the forums for me. Anyone else having trouble with this? I have tried adding it to adblock, but still seems to try to load and slow me down.

Locking this due to age. Feel free to start a new thread if need-be.

I've noticed it as well.

 

[Steve]

The forums or main website?

 

[Schadenfroh]

the forums (I do not visit the main page, so it could be happening there as well)

No slowdown for me at work. Win2k SP4 with IE6 SP1.

 

[Schadenfroh]

pinged detonator.dynamitedata.com (what is slowing the loading down)

115ms ping

 

[jim1976]

Yeap for me as well

I HATE DYNAMITEDATA :|

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

It's a problem for me at work and home, especially when I'm replying to threads.

Waiting for detonator.dynamitedata.com...

FTL :thumbsdown:

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

dynamic.anandtech.com sucks the big one too.

yep, i've had the exact same issue.

 

[dug777]

It's still doing it 🙁

Yep, that's what Adblock is for.
Google Ads = non intrusive and fast, plus relevant to my region and interests = sure thing.
Dynamite Data = not relevant to me, and slows everything down = in the trash you go.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

NM.

 

[Schadenfroh]

What wildcard should I add to adblock plus?

*.dynamitedate.com
dynamitedata.com/*

both do not work

Not using AdBlock plus btw, just vanilla AdBlock, but that works for me, and I'd guess it should work on Plus too 🙂

DynamiteData needs some TNT placed next to their servers.

 

[Synomenon]

Is this what's causing the little java icon to appear in my taskbar whenever I visit the forums?

It gets me paranoid that there's some spyware or something loading.

Does it reduce A's income? If not - learn to live with it.

EX:
Search function = no $$$$, hence, it isn't yet and won't be fixed.

Or just get AdBlock 🙂

BAN DYNAMITEDATA...(AND PAB) 😉😱😀

Can you redirect dynamitedata.com to 127.0.0.1 in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file without any adverse effects? I've done that with tribalfusion.com in the past with some success, but I'm not sure if it would work with this site.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Same issue here.

It was slowing me down to. I blocked it with Adblock and the forums are now loading much faster.
