Good point, thanks. Checking... Main config (BPC-server): 8-18, all weekdays Host config (cloud server): 8-18, all weekdays The badping limit and good content are set at their defaults three and seven respectively. The host, a departmental cloud-server, is however one of those servers that is up 24/7/365 (or close to in any case - it's not supposed to be down for any reason if possible). I'll keep an eye on it for a while and see what happens now. -- //Sorin
