I've used your screenshots and edited them with red numbers for the changes:
In the Connection tab, did you mean to say 50Mbps for the Downstream box? (I'm going off of the info from the speedtest result you posted a couple posts above) The current setting is set at 5Mbps if I'm right which is probably really limiting your output. Try these new settings and see what results you get after an hour(don't forget to restart the majestic 12 node after applying those settings).
Both reset....will report back later.
.... as usual to start with I don't understand a bunch of the settings/terminology but I will get there eventually
Deadly, You have behaved like one of the WCG guys in your willingness to assist. Many thanks for your help...It seems the community ethos has spread

We're a small group here in the XS MJ12 section but very close knit
Dave and the rest helped me when I first started and I'm glad to be able to do the same
Well hopefully these numbers will help... first is xp second is vista
incidentally I asked for UK only on the XP rig and any on the other

That's much better
Download it here: http://www.lvllord.de/download.php?u...tch223d-en.zip and then after it's saved to your computer, open it and run the EvID4226Patch.exe file(it may popup as a virus alert, but it is safe to run). After it opens, type the letter 'c' then type 5000, then letter 'y'. If everything goes perfectly it should say 'installation done' and should do a countdown and afterwards ask you to restart your computer.
Increased.... yep left ss is xp and I've dl'd and run that.
running again but it is teatime here...renowned for my connection slowing some till later in the evening....I'll have another look at this around this time tomorrow then maybe you can appraise the results so far.
It will be interesting to see if my ISP notices this as being outside of their "acceptable usage" limit that they have on their unlimited broadband
Again, thanks for all your help

You're getting 300k+ URL's per hour which is damn good(which may rise a little more after the new settings)
Thanks again for joining!!

One quick question... when This picks up on a site that gets flagged by AVG or multiple addresses of the same site as I have just now ... do I need to take any action?

No.
You are not in any way infected. Let AVG know it's ok.

That's good news.... so I've upped the ante and put it on a third rig (I just remembered I put a 250 gig drive in that one....the others are a bit small)....now to see how it effects our normal internet use
I know I won't get half a mill an hour but I can try for over 10 mill a day

Duh
Checked before bed last night and found lots of connection errors on the third rig (x3350, 2gig, Vista) It crunches and folds too so I may have to look at the settings later. Its connected to a 10/100 hub too not a switch and should share with rig2 ... Time for some more learning

Talk about being out of the loop..
I check at the MJ12 site today,see the team in the #3 position,doa"That's better than normal"then openupthe team tab and see 5mil+ beside this "Old Chap"name..
Then I do a"Son of a Biatch"..
Didn't know the UK had fast lines..
Thanks for helping Old Chap!
Greatly appreciated!

A good project with good goals.

Well I did say I'd take a look at this......and nothing from my ISP yet.....I'm thinking that my daily rig might get a rest for a couple of hours around this time of day so I may have to lower my sights a bit....quite a lot if rig 3 is mem limited
What time do the stats update on this? normal DC time? or do you guys use something different?

So, a little update. Just one screenshot of the xp rig which ran the whole 24 hours. MJ12 stopped on the 1st Vista rig after about 1.5mill so I've rebooted that and am watching..will record what happens if it fails again. The 3rd rig is now running again, re-booted, but with one card less folding....just to observe the result when there are more resources available
Anyone want to comment on parts spec eg on hard drives that would improve this or am I wholly reliant on internet speeds? also...
Under Charts the mem tab shows nothing on the graph ...normal or not?

Not Good here
Xp machine just seemed to be MJ stopped showing connected and crawling but v.high conn errors. restarting MJ alone did not help ....needed a reboot ....the total was only just over 5 mill so only ran for about 8 hours since the ss above
Vista1 had re-started
Vista2 similar to Xp but locked sooner
My feeling is that is is filling some buffer to its maximum and locking up

See my post to your thread on the MJ12 forum. I had the same problem because my router simply couldn't handle it. The solution is to buy a better router(more expensive option) or to slowly lower the number of workers per node until the locking up stops happening. So for 3 machines, with 175 workers each, try lowering the amount of workers to 165 per node. Repeat the process by lowering the # of workers 5-10 per node at a time until the freezing stops happening.Not Good here

Well I just up'ed my BW that this project is using hopefully I won't get a letter from Charter... the magic 8 balls says "It's decidedly so."
DeadlyFire and OldChap thank you for helping make this easy.
nice to hear!
Would someone like to explain how to reduce my DNS error rate? Is this some function of the network or connection? or is it a rig thing?

You can change the DNS server your computer uses instead of relying on the one your internet service provider offers you. I have Verizon as my ISP but I use Sprint DNS servers on my home network because they are consistently faster. There is a benchmark tool that allows you to test your computer on dozens of different DNS servers and see which DNS servers are fastest. Download link
Follow these instructions here to change your DNS: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...ndows-7-a.html (they should also work for WinXP) At the end where it says to put 2 IP addresses into the box, do not use the ones the instructions give you, but use the ones that were the fastest from the benchmark tool below(the SS is of my results so make sure to rely on your own test data). If your current DNS servers are as fast or faster than the other servers in the chart, then leave them as-is.

The load we are going through now is bad, and you shouldn't worry about the DNS, it's the same for all of us. Alex will have new ones soon, and you will see errors go down again. Most errors are general, and are related to the quality of the buckets.
Don't panic, it's ok. : )

Deadly, My router connects through a cable modem so it reports a single IP and I know nothing about the modem (ISP supplied) .....I have work to do learning this methinks
