I am also having FS server issues, any good loans are normally filled by the time the FS browser refreshes from a network time out warning.
Some facts:
I'm running my broadband connection over super-fast fiber optic, costs a little more than normal fiber optic, however the additional speed is often useful for those fastest finger first loans.
I'm based down on the south-east coast, so I may not be the closest location to the FS servers.
I have only noticed this issue over the last week.
For all the P2P platforms I invest in, this is the only one that has time-out issues at the moment (awhile back Collateral suffered similar issues, however they upgraded their network infrastructure and solved them).
Like many folks, if one platform is difficult to use because of connection speed issues, I'll invest elsewhere (not interested in those slow to fill risky loans).
This would on the face of it appear to be an issue at the FS end and not with any part of my broadband speed or ISP...

Bid limits would have given everyone an opportunity at the better loans but FS don't listen. They report catering to a specific group of lenders who abhor bid limits so FFF is here to stay till the foreseeable future. I discovered a while ago that the best solution is to invest elsewhere as I can't imagine all my funds in those slow to fill risky loans too.

Even where there are bid limits rollover investors in renewals have first priority. e.g. F***g G***n - W******m - Tranche 4 at 11.00am today over a third of bids in money terms each over £500 were from rollover investors. Largest single bid was for £5000, another of £2000 and several of £500 - £1000. Total loan value was £41,000. I think the auction lasted for about 15 seconds. I blinked and it had gone.

If they ever listen FS perhaps separate the loans to different times 3 at 11am is never a good slot  |
