With 6 splitters, a tape gets eaten up in an hour or so and then it is gone. With just one or two splitters, 3 tapes can last ~8 hours. That combined with going back to the old 97/3 feeder allocation will make them easier to get. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) ID: 1194078 ·

May I suggest that the dreaded limits are removed, to celebrate that we have survived another work week? May I also at the same time suggest that we get at least 50 AP files loaded into the splitters? Yes, or no? :-) Many agree that the limits should go ... and it is time they should however I do not think they are listening. If you think things are bad now, wait for Kepler GPUs to start appearing...they'll really help chug up the bandwidth ... and I suspect we are gong to see more unhappy campers ... Eric knows many of us wish to see the limits raised. But he first has to complete work on an updated AP validator that is being tested in Beta. "Learn from yesterday. Live for today.

Still nothing... double-you-tee-eff... Kitties are crunching MB as fast as they can, good buddy. Yeah, and for that I thank you. The faster the MB files disappear, the sooner I will see some AP files added. Merry Christmas! ID: 1194019 ·

The kitties are doing their best to crunch up the MB stuff so's you can git yer APs. Well, they doesn't seem to raise anything, or add any AP files to the splitters. Not many AP's left here before I'm totally dried up. I just don't get it why they can't keep a steady flow of AP's. It can go days without any new AP's being split. My nerves can't take this much longer. If I can't get a steady flow of AP work within the next 15-25 years, I will stop participating in this exercise. :-) Merry Christmas! ID: 1193949 ·
