I am curious to know the stats on how many hits it took to take down the DD website....
Are you planning something
I am curious to know the stats on how many hits came for this deal...Dan, care to share your numbers? Has this been the most DD has ever gotten?
Traffic was about 600% greater than usual.
and I'm assuming that's with the crash the peek of about 2-3 hours no one was able to get in at all. Me thinks.it could have been more like 1000% greater you just wouldn't know. Make sense?
The site actually never crashed. If you kept trying you were able to get on. At a certain point it stopped accepting new connections until the old ones were fulfilled.
JJ is saying that you can't get an accurate count of how much traffic there was bec many people 'didn't even get a connection'. Is that correct?

I had the site open and kept on refreshing almost the whole time (about 2 hours) and mostly got the "502 bad gateway" message, so the site was pretty much down
