I just installed the 2.5.08 beta. It seems to be a bit of a speed improvement over the previous version.
My p4 3.0 hyperthread was doing around 1.25 per "half" of the proc for around 2.5 total. Now the output is around 1.45 per core. so unless my math is incorrect(which it usually is) thats around a 16% speed-up.

clients read ~1450000.0
before ~1250000.0

😕
There's a new client? Where? Not seeing it on the download page.
'sb250.exe' is all i see for Windows

Nope. Just fetched 3 WUs after reading your post.

darn, I'm still not getting any WU's. I can't connect.

edit: There has to be a problem, look at our SoB Team STats a good chunk appears to have been cut. We lost 200M in production.

Anyone else having problems ????


Edit 2: WoW I'm dead in the water, nothing I do works, I can't send or receive WU's all of a sudden. I can ping but for some reason my clients can't communicate with the server.

NiColt,
Any messages in your SB.LOG file? What server does it say you are trying to connect to?

It seems like mine are connecting ok and getting WUs.

I'm running through sbqueue, when it finished my WU it just said block denied. But neither my client or queue can get WU's now weird. I'm connecting through sb.pns.net:1717

but now none of my computers can get a new WU. My clients are just finishing up into the queue. Once that's done nothing.

I can't even get a block with anonymous wow. something is wrong.

Well after hours of wonderment, I finally fixed it and I lost two huge blocks in the process, one was completed and the other was at %94 :|

Here's what happened. Java has a line in startup called

c:\program files\java\jre1.6.0_03\jusched.exe

This is a scheduler for Java to check for updates, which it did yesterday and it installed java 1.6.0_05

This version in turned screwed up SBQueue.jar which is my SoB Queue.

For some reason, this screwed it all up and blocked my queue, and even with it turned off my my clients were not able to communicated with the SoB server because they kept getting block denied (most likely because it was waiting for SBQ to submit the block).

At least Java does one thing right, when you install new versions it doesn't un-install previous versions, if you uninstall version _05 and reboot it will use the previous _03 version which works with SBQueue.

I think I was getting Block Denied because SBQ was doing the work and the client could not get a new block until it either submitted the block or deleted it.

All this to say that if your running SBQ don't update to java 1.6.0_05 because I'm quite sure your queue will no longer work.

Damm you Java

Oh man, that sucks. Especially losing those big blocks of work. 🙁
