Guys, test this out for me please. ** INI Generator Rev 1.6a Now Done ** ( 1-3-01 )

Well, if it's supposed to look like this, then it's working properly... 😉


"The requested URL could not be retrieved"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.shadow-lands.net/tnc/generators.asp

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.shadow-lands.net
The dnsserver returned:

Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.


Edit: Hmmm...works now. Must have been something wrong with my DNS server...?
 
Worked for me, except that when I copied and pasted, it didn't leave a space between the ID and the [Networking] section.

Also, I'd suggest deleting the randomprefix= line, as that will make us all do the same random blocks and never get credit for them. (Except maybe with the new client that ignores that line completely.)
 
NICE work Adul (and brother😉) Could we get a field where we can enter the number of hours to buffer too? That would be AWESOME 😎 One more thing is it possible to make it auto use proxy.teamanandtech.com instead of DNet as keyserver? I figure most are gonna flush through there anyway so why not make that the default anyway? 😉

GREAT work guys

With love and respect your fellow TA member

Nice job Adul.

As a suggestion for Ver1.2 - perhaps a processor entry in Mhz to optimize for those who might not understand blocks?

Edit: didn't notice it was already 1.1...
 
Just looked again...
How about radio buttons to select the project priority? Some might want to just to RC5, or OGR, some both. It'd be nice addition from a UI perspective....

Also - "order"? button. Maybe "Submit" instead?
 
Not too bad Adul.😉 Here's what you need to fix though:

frequent-theshold-checks needs to be 4, not 3
You have 2 checkpoint entries
Also, the "connection type" chooser doesn't work right, as neither selection will put an entry into the INI file


Other than that, it's looking great Adul.😀 Keep up the good work man, and you'll be hosting the page soon on TA.com.😉
 
It is setup for either rc5 or ogr via the drop down menu. They way it is setup to run is it will run one or the other has priority. It will only go to there other project if the is no connection to the net. This also helps if the RC5 project ends. It can then work on ogr by default.

Adul, I just tried it myself, and I'm getting "time" entries no matter what. YOu also still need to take care of the dial-up settings issue, since there are 2 ways you can go about dialup(passive, or active), which return vividly different results.
 
I think the INI file is a little bit more complicated than it needs to be.
Here is the OGR file (dialup) with what I consider to be unescessary options bolded:

[parameters]
id=xxxx
[networking]
keyserver=proxy.teamanandtech.com
encoding=
disabled=no
nettimeout=14
nofallback=true
autofindkeyserver=no
dialup-watcher=passive
interfaces-to-watch=*


[misc]
run-work-limit=0
project-priority=OGR,RC5

[rc5]
fetch-time-threshold=6
preferred-blocksize=33


[buffers]
checkpoint-filename=cp
allow-update-from-altbuffer=no
frequent-threshold-checks=4


[triggers]
restart-on-config-file-change=yes

[ogr]
fetch-workunit-threshold=7
 
a few more things to nitpick about. Your connection type should really say 24/7 connection or non persistant connection. My DSL is not always on, and thus I would want the ability to buffer more work ala dialup connection. I have also seen people maintain 24/7 connections on a modem (with a good ISP 🙂).

Another cool feature would be to give an approximate time threshold for OGR. You could do this by having the user enter their node rate and the number of hours. It is been shown that the average OGR block is 100 gnodes. using these pieces of data you could calculate an approximate number of stubs to download.

Lastly for the RC5, on the lan connection, you should buffer more than 32 WUs. If the connection goes down, it is nice to have a little bit of extra so you do less randoms.
