And we've just had a very graphic demonstration of that at SETI, in the last few minutes. The download part of the network link has been saturated all day, averaging 90 Mbits/sec for more than 24 hours - and uploads have been a nightmare. Maintenance has started, and all my stalled uploads cleared at the first attempt. Other people will be doing the same (consciously or unconsciously), yet the upload bit rate has barely changed (still only 10.32 Mbits/sec). _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
