Unfortunately, it is normal..and better than normal..
Usually 3-4 guys.
That's why I made this thread.
We need maybe 20-30 guys that can do a little every day.
Even adding a little like 100,000 a day times 30 guys is 3 million a day and that gets us close to the output of Norway.
If we can get lucky and get 2-3 guys out of that 20-30 with decent lines that can add 1-2 mil a day each we can catch them easily.

i can't really understand how to find the best settings for my system

I am running a 2mbit/512kbit on an opteron 165 @ 2.4Ghz

my settings are showed in the screenshots below, anything i can change to increase the output ? at night i give it 100% of the bandiwdth and by day only 70% & 50%

[Martijn]

Installing right now. I've got a spare system I can let this run on. We're uncapped, with a fair use policy at 400GB/month. Shouldn't be too difficult to reach, but I think watching it a little will be enough.

Good ol' days

EDIT: I got a 4/1 line.

I'll try and throw a few hundred K in again, forgot about mj12 and now I have to re-find my optimum settings... bah...

Safrout I have the same down speed as you do but only 256 up. Therefore try the following 2 tweaks:

Set down and upstream to 44,000
Max workers to 40
Also on the page where you enter your user and pass tick the box that says "prefer all TLD's apart fomr .com/.org/.net"


These will use your line to the fullest. Basically you want to keep the success rate at 70&#37; so if after 20 minutes you are >75% then increase your workers by 5. If you are <65% then decrease your workers by 5. This is just a rough guide but any further tweaks are just for squeazing the last bits out of the line.


Great work to all those that kept going while many of us stopped and I look forward to the congratulatory 1,000,000,000 point thread for the old guy

i set my down stream to 2048kbit and upstream to 512kbit, why should i set it to 44,000?


what about Max open url buckets ? should it also be 40 ?

and where to check my success rate ?

EDIT:

what is the best settings for both

Max number of async workers
&
Max open url buckets

and anything else i need to change in my screenshots above ?

I find/found that setting my speeds to the corretc ones meant the client used a bit less than max even with the sliders on 100%, where as at 44,000 it uses all I have.

10 buckets is plenty for the amount of workers you will be using, 6 is the most I've had open at 1 time and that's with all workers working.

The success rate is on the main page (status tab) of the client, 2nd one down in the list entitled "Crawled".

Are you sure? You really seem to be loosing it now, Dave...

Are you sure? You really seem to be loosing it now, Dave...

I lost it a long time ago when I read some of the things that go on here ar XS.
Guy's with P4D's that keep losing boards with bad PSU's when I've never had an issue with a PS in 10 years..
Guys losing $400.00 sets of ram from trying to run 2.4v thru what is rated for 2.1v max..
More MB's lost in the average month than I've owned total..
Yea, I lost it but the question is why?
I think it's from trying to find some logic in this insanity!

Sounds good and thanks for helping..

Quick work on getting on the phone however a 28 minute phone call still very much falls into the slow category, getting better though!

Magnj: Thanks very much for helping .

Nah, maybe a 10-15 min call..I was easy on him..
You know, first time always go gentle...

Edited out of guilt by a MOD..

2x 24port 3Com Superstack 610 here. It can be worse

[Magnj]

ha, its all good.

Ok it seems to be up and running and I joined XS through the MJ12 site.

Does someone want to point me to a settings help thread or guide...there's a lot of buttons here lol

Trial and error is best here I suppose. Every connection needs to be tweaked to it's own capabilities. We can tell you what everything does, but not how to set it right.

[Magnj]

ok I set max workers to 100 and max buckets to 40 for now. I have it set as 20,000 and 5,000 for my bandwidth at 100&#37;

Where's moddo lately? He used to be good at tweaking the client I also seem to remember him saying he'd get a guide together a "while" ago .
