Some uploads are still happening, my nodes have received payments in the last 6 hours, with most recent 30 minutes ago
My 15 nodes is still seeing very high uploads at times. Typically around 3 to 4 MBytes/s at this time with some peaking to max uplink rate
Mine are still running, I didn’t see Chriso’s message anymore before I went to bed. Just woke up. I’ll lower the uploads again in a bit.
I’m down to 33 nodes. No matter how many nodes stop the cpu Load won’t drop.
I’ve halted my uploads again on Chriso’s request. The team is aware and will probably work on a fix soon.
There’s always a song…
Sounds like he is a couple of bottles of liquor down 
I am a bit surprised to see people scaling down still. There isn’t really an incentive to push for the max node count so why be on the limits of your bandwidth or even close to it? I’d say, scale down so that during peaks you don’t get above 40% resources used. Let the nodes fill up and lets see if we find more unwanted behavior. Keep in mind, by running as much nodes as possible, you’re subsidizing cheap uploads, something we were so happy to get rid of. Also, continuously having to scale down as the network fills adds to the load of the network during peak times.
Right now, we need decent, persistent nodes on the network and see the network fill up. There is nothing wrong with scaling back up when demand is there and it makes economical sense.
Just my two cents.
I am running ANM which scales down my nodes as and when needed. Machines that were running 100 nodes are now down to 15/20 and struggling.
To be honest I would prefer not having auto scaling.
I understand the need to scale down, but doing it automatically could be dangerous at such a small network size.
It looks like we’ve also sadly got stuck with our upgrade again.
~78% are on the new version, but looks like ~21% are stuck.
I wanted to ask @VaCrunch, are your Windows nodes upgraded? One thing I’ve always wondered is whether the lack of auto upgrades on Windows is a contribution to whether we get stuck. I know you’re running a lot of nodes, so it would be good to rule that one out here.
I upgraded my nodes manually. They are currently running antnode 0.4.15. Is that the most recent version?
Ah no, we’re on 0.4.16 now.
That might account for it then. Sorry, I know it’s a PITA to upgrade manually. I am really hoping to release the Windows auto upgrades feature on Thursday.
Actually, you may want to hold off on an upgrade until then, because after that, you won’t have to manually upgrade again.
It’s good that we can account for why we’re stuck. Thanks.
Okay, will do. Sorry for being that guy.
It’s no problem at all; it’s not easy to manually upgrade.
Hopefully by Thursday that will go away. Will be great to get your feedback on the feature actually.
I honestly wasn’t expecting to be using this much bandwidth. Back when we had 1.5 million nodes, bandwidth was not an issue at all. Now that we are at 2500 nodes, my ISP is probably curious if I have become a DDoS botnet 
To limit bandwidth usage for nodes seems like a very real topic.
We should probably example not promoting YouTube like apps in 4k until a later stage.
Backing up data good focus at the current stage
1000-10000 people streaming 4k content maybe wait for a more mature stage in the life of the network.
Maybe this indicates the need for nodes to regulate their own resource use and even shun ones that don’t keep their communications within sustainable levels.
Easier said than done of course.
But is the bandwidth ramping up because of people downloading, or maybe the network just checking if node has the data, or something else?
