5 dimes using the Vic 20 as their server?

[daystrom]

wtf is wrong with their site? Irritatingly slow to sign on, slow to pull up lines and very quick to timeout. I got their error 26 several times between 6pm & 7pm EST today. It tells you their server is too busy & try try try try again. This has been the case for several days now.

while waiting for their site to log me in, I logged onto Pinny and placed all my hockey & baseball bets. and then I got error 26.

Their mirror sites are no faster.
