Hello All,

Did all the posts cease or is it just me?

Also, if Mr. Wiberg would care to post something so I can see if I'm getting
them now.. I'd appreciated it!

Nick

It does seem quite but Bjorn posted 2 days ago.

Bjorn has replied to you although he never saw your original message. Did you
get it?

I did. Two of them up until this message. Hopefully the traffic works both ways
now.

It's odd that this path is 4 minutes faster then our direct link for this
area!?

Bye, Wilfred.

It of course depends on in what order your tosser presents the files to binkd.
But besides that it should handle most of the outgoing mail in parallel, unless
you have your maxclients set to a low value...

But your log should be able to tell you what happend (if you're interested
enough ;-))...

Bye, Wilfred.

Besides what is already out in the open, the other things I can think of is (1)
an issue that I'm in the process of resolving is that 301/1 connects here about
1500 times per day, and roughly 1450 of them are failed connections.. This I
can't really do anything about until I get a response, and (2) with over 100
links, if 1 or more of them are down and maxclients is set to a low number, it
delays as long as it takes for the connection to timeout - which can also hold
things up quite a bit. Every once in awhile I look into this and remove dead or
unresponsive links. What else more can I say?

I don't remember why I originally set my maxclients to a lower value, but
something not happening the way I wanted it to in the past made me do it. That
said, I've raised it for now to see if it makes things faster. However, if I
start having other issues because of it.. 4 minutes in transit is still better
than a week or more via snail mail. ;)

Nick

This sounds like a very plausible cause for what I've seen happening.

Indeed... I just found it odd. In the end it doesn't really matter if mail
comes in via another longer route, as long as it comes in... ;-)

Some of that might be my fault. I am really busy at the moment and I haven't
been able to read or particpate in the BBS scene much at all. :(

.... Honk if you love peace and quiet!
