We accept patches. We even give out SVN access reasonably easily.

| pass them along to the waiting clients.

Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot this problem? Also, I
feel there are two independent problems here:

- - files being retrieved by Fproxy not made available to other clients in
a reasonable time;
- - files not being completely downloaded by the queue manager in about 5
days, then successfully retrieved by Fproxy in a matter of seconds;

Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot this?

Also, I think there's a definite lack of information on the queue page
(see below).

Hmm. Interesting. All files were at "low" priority, set by default by
Thaw. Is that ok, or should I set default priority to be higher?

To better understand how the queue fares, I think the following
information would be helpful:

- - average availability of each queue item (total number of blocks
retrieved divided by the total number of block retrieval attempts);
- - total number of download attempts for the item;
- - items which are being retrieved right now;
- - timestamps related to the item (entered queue, first successful block,
last successful block, last retrieval attempt);

Perhaps, in "simple" mode, the above can be summed into a generalized
"availability" metric (i.e., "good", "average", "poor", "unretrievable").

Is there a way to gather such information post mortem, from the log
files? Should I increase logging level to achieve this?
If not, perhaps I can try and see if I'll be able to understand how the
queue manager works, to add this functionality - where should I start
looking?

Victor Denisov.
