Actually......Timed out means your experiencing problems en route from France (Hop #5) to the U.S.
It entirely depends on where you are in the world with load speeds and how many hops it takes to get to ScubaBoard.com. The servers are running nominally, and there have been no changes to our system.
Even depending on your ISP in the U.S.
Ironically... when I'm in Colorado... it's only 12 Hops to get to ScubaBoard... but when I'm in Florida it takes 18 Hops... how's that for confusing.
Last time I checked a path it was fast as hell between Japan and California..... and across the States..... but Florida was pretty slow!!
