    Hello All,

    Did all the posts cease or is it just me?

    Also, if Mr. Wiberg would care to post something so I can see if I'm getting them now.. I'd appreciated it!

    Regards,
    Nick

    It does seem quite but Bjorn posted 2 days ago.

    I hope you'll see his posts from now on.. :)

    I did. Two of them up until this message. Hopefully the traffic works both ways

    It's odd that this path is 4 minutes faster then our direct link for this area!?

    Not sure what to tell you. Anything I write should leave here to all links at roughly the same time. Does the order of callouts have anything to do with how you list nodes in binkd.conf? If so, my list starts with 1: and 2:
    is further down the list in numerical order. Otherwise, who knows.

    It of course depends on in what order your tosser presents the files to binkd. But besides that it should handle most of the outgoing mail in parallel, unless
    you have your maxclients set to a low value...

    But your log should be able to tell you what happend (if you're interested enough ;-))...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Besides what is already out in the open, the other things I can think of is (1)
    an issue that I'm in the process of resolving is that 301/1 connects here about
    1500 times per day, and roughly 1450 of them are failed connections.. This I can't really do anything about until I get a response, and (2) with over 100 links, if 1 or more of them are down and maxclients is set to a low number, it delays as long as it takes for the connection to timeout - which can also hold things up quite a bit. Every once in awhile I look into this and remove dead or
    unresponsive links. What else more can I say?

    I don't remember why I originally set my maxclients to a lower value, but something not happening the way I wanted it to in the past made me do it. That said, I've raised it for now to see if it makes things faster. However, if I start having other issues because of it.. 4 minutes in transit is still better than a week or more via snail mail. ;)

    This sounds like a very plausible cause for what I've seen happening.

    do it. That said, I've raised it for now to see if it makes things

    minutes in transit is still better than a week or more via snail mail.
    ;)

    Indeed... I just found it odd. In the end it doesn't really matter if mail comes in via another longer route, as long as it comes in... ;-)

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Some of that might be my fault. I am really busy at the moment and I haven't been able to read or particpate in the BBS scene much at all. :(

    No problem at all. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

    I've went into detail a bit more via email but it seems you don't look at those. :D

    No I haven't been sorry about that. I haven't done anything Mystic related in a few weeks because I've been so busy with other things :(

    I'll get in there and read it soon!
