Recently most of the transfers I see are in the sub 5kbps range. However I do randomly see faster ones up to 100kbps. With the bandwidth maxed out things are expected to be slow with 42% chance of rain. I am seeing the same effect as TA and STEN. There is another observation that I would like to make on top of theirs. From what I have seen in posts/comments from other users, it would appear that those in the US do not appear to suffer from this issue as much, HAL9000, hence your observation of effect. |

I haven't tried this proxy, but is there a delay (stuck at 0% for a while) before the download starts? If so, then the proxy might be configured with an aggressive retry policy and caches the whole file before it sends it to the client. The seemingly fast speed you get is then between you and the proxy. Proxies can also keep retrying to download the file "in background" while your client (boinc) has been disconnected and is in retry delay. When boinc then tries to download it again, proxy may already have it in cache. |

Well I never needed to use a proxy even during the router problem but I must say that using one now certainly helps a lot. Cheers. |

I haven't tried this proxy, but is there a delay (stuck at 0% for a while) before the download starts? There is only a short delay, I assume its while the proxy sets up the connection. The delay is definitely nowhere near long enough for the proxy to cache the WU from Berkeley (at 2KBs + dropouts) before sending it on. According to "Kirdnem(Vince)", the proxy is located in New York. EDIT: I tried to download from Richards link to Nettools but the site appears to be down. T.A. |

7 137 ms 141 ms 137 ms nyiix.he.net [198.32.160.61] This router is not on my traceroute to Berkeley, I come in from the west and I would guess that that one is in New York.

I got home & the machine i didn't setup to use the proxy had a sticky download. Tried several times to get it to finish, but it wouldn't do much better than 1kB/s for a bit & then just sit there. Went through the proxy- it's done. And even with the 6.12.33 client on the other machine, it didn't run out of GPU work while i was at work while making use of the proxy. Grant Darwin NT |

edit.....I wonder if they mind all the traffic going to Berkeley......... I was wondering that myself. During the previous HE router problems the admins of the proxies that were being used noticed their bandwidth usage going through the roof and eventually blocked the SAH IP's. Hence the continuing hunt for working proxies. T.A. |

I seem to have hit on a solution that has helped a lot of people ... Don't know why it works but don't look a gift horse in the mouth !!!!! |

EDIT: I tried to download from Richards link to Nettools but the site appears to be down. So it does - sorry about that: it was working when I pasted the URL. The point is, you don't want to download anything, you want a website which will do the tracert for you, using - I hope - your browser settings, including any proxy. There are lots out there: putting 'online tracert' into a Well Known Search Engine found http://www.tracert.org/traceroute/ Edit - reading the small print, that site traces the route from their server to wherever, which isn't what we need. I'll keep looking. |

That was strange... Yesterday I was connecting directly and suffering all sorts of delays, so I attached via a proxy (69.163.96.2:8080), and all was well. Then a short while ago I looked, and was suffering lots of delays, retries etc. and unable to connect type messages. So I flipped back to direct connection, and off it all went like a rocket. Tasks were uploaded, reported and new tasks downloaded without retires. Can I plead confusion? Is there a process within S@H, or HE, or somewhere else in the food chain that goes along the lines "This connection has had a lot of use recently so its going to be slowed by a big chunk"?

That was strange... I was just watching the exact same thing. Add me to the confused list, please. Regards, Edit: Now it`s just gone the other way. Proxy is outpacing the direct connection by miles. A |

target 69.163.96.2 The company that owns the address is located there, but the actual location of the device could be anywhere. The block of public IPs we have for our company are used throughout North and South America. Looking up the IP would tell you they are all in NJ, but that would be incorrect. Since they are running an open proxy I imagine they are fine with any traffic going through it.

I have been downloading for the last 8 hours from the UK to feed my GTX460 which was totally empty due to a crash over the weekend which caused it to 'error while computing' 90 tasks. I have consistently obtaining 50kBits per second download rates and almost no timeout problems without the need to use a proxy. Even APs came through very quickly. It may just be that the connection is particularly good at present whatever route you use. |

Update Still having problems even though direct downloads are working here again. Direct, Average speed around 5KBs, Max Speed 12.5KBs with a delay of up to 45 seconds before downloads commence but no timeouts during the transfer. 50% chance of a timeout or other connection error when the computer attempts to report/request new work Via Proxy, Average speed 55KBs, Max Speed 100KBs, downloads commence immediately, 10% chance of a timeout or other error during scheduler requests. There is a 50% of getting a "No tasks sent" or "no tasks available" message on either path. Pinging 208.68.240.13 Average 25% packet loss (4 tries) 208.68.240.16 Zero packet loss (4 tries) 208.68.240.18 100% packet loss - request timed out (4 tries) 208.68.240.20 Zero packet loss (4 tries) Typical Trace Routes Tracing route to boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu [208.68.240.13] I was one of those who was totally cut off by the crook HE router a couple of months ago. This appears to be a similar, but not identical, problem T.A. |

I wonder if the "download server 1" doesn't appear to be working issues we have seen are in fact issues with the routing. Where they seem to disappear before getting to one of the download servers, but the other one works fine. Just speculating but maybe another router needs a memory upgrade? If they can work out which one is losing packets again. |
