Digikey slow today?

Anyone else noticed it? Response times are very slow, sometimes over
5sec per click. Download of datasheets, drawings and such is fast, same
as usual. It really slows down my work. Mouser and others are like usual
but their search engines are not good.

No problems from my end. (I was on a few times today, I've been thinking I should just make digikey my home page... that might save me a few clicks per day.)

I have it as the default search engine in the top bar of Firefox.

Was using it earlier-- seemed as good as always to me.

Since George and Spehro didn't have problems either, maybe it's our
local DNS server. Still slow. Best was Farnell today, "Down for
maintenance", it said. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen at
distributors.

There are third-party DNS providers you can use, e.g. DynDNS, as well as
the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Google servers. There are more at
http://tinyurl.com/d3e75ws .

LEVEL 3' DNS server are good. Most ISP's peer off them.

You can benchmark them and others with GRC's dnsbench.

Try the Mouser online PDF catalog.
The Mouser paper catalog was always far superior to any other disty
catalog, for finding stuff.

Hello,

the DNS server is used only once to get the numerical address. If
several consecutive requests to the same server are slow, it is not a
DNS problem.

Well, whatever it was, today it is fixed. Huge difference.

Not very practical if you want to look for FETs with certain parameters
et cetera. Nothing beats the Digikey search engine, and it seems nothing
ever will. Well, except for EasySabre but that's been gone now for many
years.

I've got the three main ones here. Good for browsing but not if you are
looking for a part with a certain set of parameters.

AKA DNS caching.

Do people really consider Digikey a distributor?
