Highly demanding website - need solution on how to guarantee access

Hello all, I really hope you can help me out with this.

There is a website which I frequently access but it's very demanding on visitors and most of the time it's not available because of the amount of requests per day, so is there something that I as a regular user of this site do to guarantee that I have access? I don't know, something like if you do multiple connections from different locations, I don't know.

Thanks,

hi mwecomputers

thanks for your prompt answer, when I create a vpn tunnel to this server, does it matter even If I don't have access to this server? I mean, I only have access thru a https or http access

thx.

The limit you are most likely running into is that the server-side is limited on the number of client (aka child) connections that are accepted. If this number is not set high enough, then you get dropped or refused connection attempts.

Unless you have access to the server, you are pretty much out of luck.

The only way that I can have access to this server or this public page is 3am in the morning.

We tried Google Web Accelerator and it's a little bit better, anything similar?

Thanks.

Keep in mind goodle CACHE's some data. So with their accelerator sometimes you aren't actually connecting to the server truely, you are just looking at an image.

Are you sure its not your connection itself. Have you run some connection tests?

Hi, webcs, we are sure that it is not our connection because we run many tests from different location, also different computers.

Thank you,

Than my original suggest holds.

The google accelerator is partially an image so shouldn't trust that speed increase. Although it does help a little sometimes.
