I think I'm losing RC5 packets

[RagingGuardian]

Everyday I crack about ~600 RC5 packets but when I upload them and check my stats it says I've uploaded about ~300 blocks. Am I just stupid and each block is actually 2 packets or is it that my packets are getting lost. I have the client set to upload my packets when a dial up connection is made. Should I flush my packets manually?

If it helps my email is leontuitt to check my stats.

A packet contains any number of blocks from 1 to 32.

What may happen is that your client doesn't buffer enough work to keep it going until your next connection, and it works on random blocks.

If you log the client's activity, look for the word 'random' in the logs. It would mean that is the cause.

Check your ini file for a line saying fetch-workunit-threshold=xx or add it in the [rc5] section, with xx=number of blocks you want to buffer.

Or use the line fetch-time-threshold=yy, with yy=number of hours you want to crack without connecting.

Thanks alot man. I was only buffering (is that a word) 24 packets before and everything else was random.
