It's working ok, but your upload speeds are abysmal. I've got a 20Mb/s pipe and I'm watching graphics load line-by-line as if this was 1995. I haven't seen performance like that since the days of dial-up. Once somebody's got your images cached, it's probably not too bad, but any new visitors are going to think there's something wrong with their computers.

Y'know, not to spend your money or anything, but there are some really nice commercially hosted server packages available in the $4/mo range that'll likely beat the snot out of anything you'll do at home. You'll also have the benefit of nearly constant uptime, backups, script interpreters, hundreds of email accounts, etc. and you don't have to lift a finger to have them. Check out some of these plans.

You flip to one of those, and your page performance goes through the roof. Things just snap into place as if they were already there.
 
this comes off my own line... right now we're at 450kbps outbound, and thats all there is, and its shared!

My upload side is 2Mb/s, and I still don't want to run a server on it. Commercial space is easier, performs better, and is maintained with much more vigor than I would apply. Get more than a few people going on residential service, and it's just punishing for them. Get a commercial server, though, and you can run forums with dozens or even hundreds of people online at once without anybody complaining. It's dramatic. The ISPs don't want you running a server - that's why upload speeds are so low. So, you hook up with somebody who's got backbone access and will lease you some space, and call it a love story.
 
There are intermittent drops between the Speakeasy Atlanta node at  220.fe-2-3.er1.atl1.speakeasy.net [69.17.82.122] and your IP address: 66.92.213.222.

Do you have echo ping reply turned off on your HTTP server?
