Contribute Painfully slow

[rnailer]

Anyone else finding that contribute runs very slowly on their computers?

Whenever i click from page to page in my site using contribute it takes
forever to download each page.

The problem seems to be consistent across all computers ive used the program
on and ive been on broadband connection each time.

Dont no if there is any real fix guess im just looking to see if anyone else
in the same boat:grin;:brokenheart;:sad;

are you getting the same issue on all sites you are connecting to? see if you
can replicate the same issue on other sites.. i think there is a test website
for contribute. download a connection key from

you might be encountering the dreaded cisco pix firewall issue.. if issue is
site specific.. download the spotfix from

I like you am finding contribute painfully slow. I have tried everything and
nothing helps. I even posted to this forum and sent email to customer support.
I am also on broadband and have checked the server that I am hosted on. It is
to the point that I am considering using other products.

What is this firewall issue you are refering to and what is that fix. and what
does it do. I can't find any information on the support website. I have turned
off all firewalls, antivirus and related services on my computer. No
difference. I have also fooled with hardware accelleration. No difference. The
program just crawls.
What a disappointment. I never had this problem with version 1.

Yes, I find editing rather slow too, though that's not my main complaint. The
worst is when the program quits unexpectedly -- with no warning -- and of
course losing all the editing changes I've made. I guess this should be a
new topic...

I routinely run Contribute on a PPC Mac, an Intel Mac, and an XP laptop
(2.8MHz).

On the PPC Mac, it's pretty darn slow. Part of this is probably due to the
fact that the FTP engine Macromedia uses (appears to be the same as
Dreamweaver's) is painfully slow, but the software itself is bloated and
sluggish for the simplest tasks.

On Intel-based Macs, Contribute runs under the Rosetta code interpreter. So
there it's quite a bit slower than on PPC.

On XP, though...it's not much faster. Crashes less often, but not much faster.

So, yeah, this seems to be normal behavior.
