Hi @mick.vandijke and welcome to the forum
A solution in your first post
Is this a record?

@mick.vandijke

Could it be that at the time of the transaction, the account 0xc753ba57e0f8ba81bacf73ac1b9242733d39a646 had a very low balance of ETH (like less than $2.50)?

Got it in one…

I was mystified when I was getting the same error on differnt machines both at home and VPS.

I will move some more ETH-ARB to that account and try again.

@mick.vandijke

if you are using the autonomi sdk.

Did I miss something?

@Anselme Any idea why ant is showing double the chunks uploaded then there are chunks actually uploaded?

I noticed this with some uploads I was doing and saw @Southside has the same with his output.

Here are the first 5 chunks (the file contents). And the 3 others contain the metadata (in an archive). So 8 chunks in total.

That is how ant does it, everything is an Archive. On the other hand, AntUpload only uploads file contents so it would be 5 chunks.

[Southside]

Its my fault for not posting longer terminal output

I always feel Im posting too much output

until the time I didnt post enough and confuse @neo

Sorry…

That should work, or -x for short, see dweb/dweb-cli/src/cli_options.rs at main · happybeing/dweb · GitHub

Autonomi Client v0.4.2

[aatonnomicc]

same result i cant download with v0.4.2

[Anselme]

Tried and got the same error but after 2 retries it finally worked for me. Will inform the team about those delays, but the data is there indeed.

[Atom]

I was able to download with Autonomi Client v0.3.11. I didn’t try with latest version yet.

Sooo I did some testing

I put my wallet private key as requested, and pressed enter. So far so good. Then I drag&dropped a few images, but all failed because of some insufficientTokensForQuotes errors.
Which was weird cause I have enough ETH and ANT.

So I quit the app and relaunched it. On wallet private key request page, I saw that the default network was “alpha”, which I’m not familiar with yet. So I selected autonomi instead.
I retried and then magic, it all seemed to work ! I could upload many small/medium size images in parallel, all successful, although they took a long time to upload (1 to 4 minutes).

So I wanted to try again from scratch, restarting the app, again with some images and with bigger files like small videos, all dropped at the same time.
But I was way less lucky this time, only one (small) file successful :

2 types of errors, insufficientPeers and InsufficientTokensForQuotes

[Anselme]

Thanks for testing @Atom!

So the errors you got the first time were because you connected to the Alpha network (which I made default, but maybe autonomi would be a better default!) on which you don’t have any tokens (your tokens are real ANT from the real autonomi network)! Thus the first InsufficientTokensForQuotes.

For you other tests, I see a lot of connection errors (insufficientPeers), retrying is the only way unfortunately (and make sure you choose autonomi and not alpha).

[Anselme]

By the way the point of this update is that retries re-use your previous attempts’ payments. So they are FREE. So retry with all your might! You can just drag and drop the same file again and again until it works! (previously you had to pay for each attempt! Which was quite a waste!)

[storage_guy]

It’s nice to see something like this and from an Autonomi developer as well!

It seems a little chatty just sitting there doing nothing.

It’s sent and received more than 15MB in 5 minutes after opening and without uploading anything yet. What is it doing? Is it necessary traffic just to stay connected in case something needs uploading?
