I added routingSuccessRatioCHK. The typical value appears to be somewhat lower than routingSuccessRatio, *DESPITE* the fact that Frost does not poll CHKs and hasn't for ages (a year or so). Around 0.01 on lostlogic's ubernode, and not far off that on my rather lightly loaded node. Would be interested in other observations.
When I manually spider out from TFHI, I get rather higher success
ratios... 28 out of 119 recently. So most CHK fetches are not from the
web interface... that's not really surprising. Now, the anecdotal
evidence:
<lostlogic> toad_: yeah.
<toad_> I think that manual spidering, which gets a lot of failures, is
still yielding rather higher success ratios than the incoming requests
<toad_> and I want to know why
<lostlogic> because something if fscked up
<lostlogic> :-D
<toad_> do people download stuff through fuqid that only succeeds after
dozens of retries?
<lostlogic> toad_: yes.
<lostlogic> toad_: and through frost too
<tessier> Heck, that's how most of my fproxy downloads go
<soros> i set my retries at 25 in fproxy when downloading splitfiles
lately
<tessier> soros: Me too
<tessier> Actually I set htl at 25 and retries at 50 (the max)
<tessier> And threads at 100 (the max also)
<toad_> tessier: does it work usually?
<tessier> toad_: Does it usually get the file? Usually not. :(
<tessier> I have only retrieved one splitfile successfully lately.
<*delete confession of illegal activity :)*>
<tessier> It came down fast at first then got quite slow but did
ultimately finish. The other files on the site didn't even reach 10%
<tessier> Quite odd.
<toad_> tessier, soros, ok so you try dozens of splitfiles, and they use
dozens of retries per block, and very rarely succeed?
<tessier> Yes
<tessier> But when that one file succeeded it really went. Quite odd.
<toad_> well is it possible that one file was inserted recently?
<toad_> or maybe the network is fragmented...
<tessier> Could be but it seems all of the files on that new freesite
would have been inserted around the same time.
<toad_> ouch
<toad_> they were all inserted by that site?
<tessier> yes
<toad_> tessier when was this?
<tessier> A couple days ago. Maybe night before last.
This strongly suggests that routing is not doing terribly great. The
suspicion is that there is some form of network fragmentation going
on. Ian refuses to admit the possibility of network fragmentation, so I
am wondering how to produce extraordinary evidence to support my
extraordinary claim :).
