Pics not loading!

[playa]

i seem to have a problem with at times
my graphics on my site never loads for small periods of times.. it just happens randomly like 3 or 4 times a day for a period of 2 minutes or so,,,
now this only happens on the root directory of the main domain for my dedicated server,,when i look at the page on a different directory the graphics load good...then even my other domains the graphics load ok,,,,
i double checked my .htaccess and also just deleted it but the problem still occurs,,
I don't have a cap on my line and it can burst upto 1000 gb without a problem

does anyone have a clue to what the problem could be?

thanks in advance

Servers have limit as to max conections at a time.

if you server isn't conifugred properly and you have 100 people trying to load a page with 15 thumbs all at the same time your pushing 1500 connections which could be why you are getting shut out or delayed.

I beleive most single processor servers are set at around 600 or so max simultaneous connections.

you may need some more horsepower.

You can set the concurrent apache httpds in the apache configuration. I would look into that and see what it is set at. The default limit is 250 I think.
