thanks ... glad to see the new bandwidth is working out. for those that see it slow, you can add the following entry to your HOSTS file if nslookup doesnt return the following IP's for the following addresses:

66.28.104.11 files.deviantart.com
66.28.104.11 images.deviantart.com

If you use those then DA will be _considerably_ faster, thanks to our 100Mbps line.

Hmm, so how come there's no newspost of this yet. Don't want to wake the sleeping dogs, eh? Okay okay, I'll answer my own question. You're probably waiting 'till the dns has been updated everywhere.

Yea, the download counts are really rising now.

To put it into perspective, it's the equivalent of 5 or 6 new LotsOfSkins or Customize.org level skin sites being put up in the area.

no news because _only_ the image and file server has moved, thus not everything being completed yet. we still have to move over the webserver, the database server and the mail/misc server. we expect it all to be moved today, but ya never know. in any event, once everything is moved, you can bet that we'll announce it!
