Each was multiple hours, but the minor one was only about one.

They were longer than an hour, but what you describe is part of why I believe it to be an attack. It seemed like the server was overloaded with requests, so few got through.
I must have missed those, then.
Or I checked in the later portions; if it was attacks, could have been a timezone thing.
