[SpamCop-List] SpamCop Painfully Slow

[Paul D]

Hi all

I'm finding that reporting Spam to SC, or even just browsing the website,
has become unusably slow.  I don't have this problem with any other website.
Please tell me if there is anything I can do myself to improve this, as I
really like the service.
I have tried tracert, but it gets blocked before reaching www.spamcop.net...

C:\>tracert www.spamcop.net

Tracing route to a369.g.akamai.net [194.109.192.9]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

To be honest, I don't believe it's routing or latency of hops, but the SC
website itself.

By the way, could you clarify how many reports from different people is
required about a particular piece of Spam before Spamcop considers the
report legitimate?  Even though I have managed to successfully report spam
before, Spam status of these emails does not change in my client.

Many thanks in advance

Paul
