Hi, although it does not happen too often, it seems like at the moment, access to my website is slowed down considerably because of meta.mediawiki.org. Is there a workaround where I don't have to access meta.mediawiki.org..... I think it was trying to access bullet.gif and stuff like that? PM Poon

Why would your website need to access meta.wikimedia.org? Copy the file locally, don't hotlink it.

Hi, I didn't access meta.wikimedia.org but the status bar shows it was trying to get data from there. I wonder why and it hangs for a quite a while before it fully download. PM Poon On Sun, Jul 12, 2009 at 6:08 AM, Platonides <Platonides(a)gmail.com> wrote:

That's likely because your site is configured to use something from meta instead of using something locally. Fix that, and your problem will go away.
