Digikey slow today?

Looks okay here at 3:30 PM EDT.

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

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?

Maybe it was all the folks trying to figure out what to do with their NASDAQ orders...
