Fired up MJ12 again :)

[BandofBrothers]

I decided to fire up MJ12 again.

I am on a 20mb cable connection, so should rack up quite a lot of points.

I have it all setup according to the stickied guide.

A few questions:

1) Should I set a preferred list of domains to crawl?

2) What should I set max workers & buckets to? I want to maxx out my connection, but would too many workers overload my Linksys WRT54GS router?

3) At the moment, I have started MJ12 about 30 mins ago, and it is only running at ~3mb download speed....

You can't see it now but I'm grinning because this just may be the finishing nail in the Knights' coffin :evil, grinning emoticon here:

Hi Bob! I've also got a 20mbit line and from the settings I've chosen it seems to keep my connection maxed out. So far, workers=210, buckets=70. I try to pick domains located near yourself, so I chose .us, .gov, .edu, .org and maybe a few others. For every other setting I followed the stickied guide and for the last few weeks MJ12 seems happy with it. Ask Dave and the other veterans here for more advice if needed, they're awesome Good luck setting up your client and thanks for joining the effort

More fire under the knights................they'll burn, and be used as the fire that cooked the Norwegian fishies.

Guys, hang in there. When i get back we won't just be nailing up the coffin. We'll be strapping them to a rocket and firing it at the sky

Christmas fireworks anyone?

Hooray for cavalry!

I'm struggling to get more than 3-4mb from my 20mb line. I think my router may be getting overloaded? See the pics below for my settings:

In that screen I see you've got your download limited to 10Mbit and upload to 896KB/s. I don't know where I read but I think download speed is proportional to the upload speed you set and therefore a slower upload speed negatively affects the download speed?

[BandofBrothers]

I will have a fiddle

My max download speed is 20mb (2400kb\s)

My max upload is only 80-90kb\s (gotta love the UK)

I have played about with these settings to no avail

[Frisch]

Uncheck ; Count upstream towards overall bandwidth


Set overall process to high
Set main crawl thread to high
Set worker thread to high
Set archiving thread to idle
Set upload thread to normal


Set process priority to idle
Set word size to 64
Set dictionary size to 8

Restart, and try that setting

Thanks for the info mate

I have applied those settings, and will restart MJ12 and see how things go
