It seems as if this whole week has really been slow. Hours go by without a post.

I kind of liked the previous version. (Don't you want to look like an electric Earnst Hemingway anymore.)

Dear,

It is always the weekend. A little bit slow.
It looks like January 2003 had a slow start.
Specific the first two weeks.

Also it is possible, that with all the good information on the board
there are no questions anymore.

A transfer above 30 GB per month doesn't mean "nothing is happening".
greetings.

sure, but most of the transfer is the data collectors we have nowadays.
well, about 10G should be by checker alone...

anyway, it has been so silent since the "crash" that one can't mis to blame it from the silentness...

Atually, it looks like I'll be relatively quiet during the next couple of days due the the Space Shuttle Columbia crash. The crash does affect our research center directly and we'll most like have a couple of emergency meeting with NASA during the next couple of days.

Dear,

The new statistics on our site shows
- who are and aren't sleeping
- how quiet it really is.
- what were the quiet and busy days/hours/weekdays

In comparison with f.e. November 2002 - the busiest month - we see during the
working days 50-65 posts less.

Lonkero, can you be more specific about what resources your BBchecker
needs. So how much data will be transfer during one hour period?
Do you have an indication about the amount of users of your BBChecker script?

Some months ago we were confrontating with low responses of KIXTART.ORG server.
Low responses during the 15:00-17:00 period. Low responses can make newbies a-
fraid of using it.
Currently we put most feedback on the board during quiet moments for that rea-
son.
greetings.

I have no clue who are using my script.
was planning of collecting that info but that would scare ppl off from it.

I have no clue on the real load on the server and it's b/w either as it's configurable by all users how often it checks the server.

I'm running currently 2 of them with about the highest possible check rate and their combined transfer is about 20MB/hour

Dear,

We doesn't exactly know what band width is available for the kixtart.org server.
For 20 users the server should support about 1 Mbps.
The great amount of requests have also impact for other users. During the last
months of 2002 we see a great amount of members active and nearly 75-100 guests
at the same time active.
Possible that the usage of BBChecker and this amount of active people reduce the
preformance of 'kixtart.org' server.

Our suggestion is that BBChecker users stops processing this scripts during slee-
ping hours.
Also it can be useful to reduce possible check rate a little bit. Default settings
are Post check interval 20 secs and PM check interval 3 mins. In most
situations is a rate of 45-60 secs enough. After reading and replying to new posts
this period is enough.

Possible Lonkero you can put some information on the board what in your
opinion are acceptable rates for BBChecker in different situations.
Different situations based on f.e. connection type (modem, ISDN, ASDL, 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps).

greetings.

there is no much to say.
modem users should have 30-60s depending how much their connection is lagging.
all others should never need to go under 20 or over 30.

that is due to update need of the main page.
I would luckily do something dynamic around it and maybe on quiet time raise it to 5 mins or so...
it's possible, but to get solid figures, I would need to query the forums...

in worst scenario 44K times 8...
now, if that is dropped to 5mins, it still is much and 5mins... it's not checker anymore.

it's then just like your data on the web... something for archiving.

also, if there was printerFriendly or lonkero friendly view of the forums page... that should drop the load 90%
