need help with pproxy... how do I

[Adul]

keep my output buffers from flushing when the PProxy needs to fetch more WU to fill its buffers. I can't seem to keep it from doing this despite what i set my buffers to.

Adul, just make your RC5 section in the pproxy.ini look something like this:

[rc564]
logfilekeyblock=keylogs/pproxyrc5
logfilekeyblockrotation=daily
minkeysready=whatever
maxkeysready=whatever
minkeysdone=5000000
maxkeysdone=5000000
expertmode=1

set the minkeysdone and maxkeysdone to something that's WAY higher than what you've got, and it won't flush until you reach that limit

/edit doh, I forgot... don't write "whatever" of course... use the number of blocks you want buffered /me is stooopid and can't speeeel edit/

 

[Adul]

I understand two face

I didn't have a minkeys done setting.

/me winks at Adul!

You'll never guess how I learned that one! I wanted to know how the DPC were able to MF, so I just read the readme real careful like and it hinted and stuff so I read it again and then I found it

It's nice to know tho' in times when you don't wanna flush

Thanks, TwoFace! That particular piece of information has now been added to the DNet Advanced FAQ list on the team webpage.

JHutch, here's another little tid bit of info for the FAQ:

When I dumped that 1.5 million blocks last month, I added this setting to the .ini file, MAXSERVERS=4 and my .


From the readme:
[KeyServer]/maxservers: Determines the maximum number of simultaneous
upstream server connections will be used to fetch or flush. It might be
useful to increase this number if you frequently need to upload or
download a large number of blocks at a single time, and it seems that
individual server connections are slow or have high latency. The default
value is 1 and the maximum number you can specify is 4.

It took me less than two hours to dump 1.5 million blocks. I actually did connect to four of Dnet's keyservers simultaneously and spread out the blocks accordingly. As a matter of fact it connected to eight of Dnet's servers, but some of the connections were dropped and then it would pick up others. That pprc5out.rc5 file was about 45mb in size.

That was a fun day!

Gee, it doesn't take much for some people :^pj/k TF

I added HeavyIron's info and experience to the above FAQ entry.

Thanks, HeavyIron!

PS If anyone has little FAQ entries that they think should be in the list, send 'em my way or post them in the forum for discussion. There is plenty of things that could still be added, I'm sure!

HeavyIron, were you using a dial up connection there? Just wondering if it applies to a dial up as well or if your limit there is simply bandwidth on your connection rather than at the keyserver.
