Removed dl with error above again and tried again.
It works, dl was successfull and I could play it back on VLC
Thx for the feedback
Trying a new approach to my 1.5GB ubuntu.iso batch-size 1 taking a little while but I wonder if that may be a good thing later.
⠲ [15:07:26] [#############################>----------] 2098/2838
Made it to 2500 with previous batched uploads so nothing to indicate the result will be any different this time, yet.
Here is a odd thing, with this attempt my cash_notes dir at this time is only 39.4MB each cash_note is only 3.1kB.
This is hugely different to other attempts where my cash_notes dir would be multi GB by now. ping @joshuef
I’ll rerun after this without batch-size to confirm but I am 99% sure something sketchy is going on with cash_notes.
Just wanted to say that it’s delightful to see how people find different angles to test things out. 
And I still can’t get over:
Confirmed, significant difference in the size of the cash_note dir when using batch-size 1 compared to all other attempts.

The batch size is effectively how often we pay for the current chunk batch. ie, pay for 5 chunks and then upload them, or pay for 10000 chunks and then upload them.
So a size > the number of chunks will do one payment eg.
You’ll effectively have less change dbcs, really.
If I understand correctly a 21 chunk file uploaded as batch-size 21 should be a single payment whereas a 21 chunk file of batch-size 1 is 21 payments right?
But 21 payments results in a smaller dir.
Is that what you are saying? Sorry if I am slow on the uptake here.
Paying for more chunks upfront means more change?
exactly.
This may be due to the weight of the transaction… im not sure. 
There will be 21* the recipients in that one tx. I’m really not sure how that would all stack up w/ encryption etc around there. (cc @Anselme maybe you can shed some light here?)
In other news, a fix should be in for the @19eddyjohn75 issue w/ downloads. The next client build should clear the file before redownloading.
Aaaaalso @happybeing I have reproed your hang! No idea what’s going on yet, but at least now i can dig in!
@happybeing I suspect this pr will fix things for you (i know I’ve said that before 
; one of these times I’ll be right though! )
Basically i think you have some failing queries. And the timeout is set at a mad 5mins just now. If you’re uploading a lot, there’s a lot of GetStoreCost etc going on, and if anyone of those hung, well, you’d be waiting 5 mins. A lot of chunks, and batches, a lot more of that could go on…
Let’s see how you go when that’s in 
saw the name and thought of you @Southside

Yes its been safeup’d to 0.83.34 as well.
It was nice of @Josh to send me that miniPC/Wyse terminal. Think I will start from scratch with that for all SAFE stuffs from home and just leave this big box for footering and flight sims…
Crapped out on a different chunk whereas mine b0rked at the same chunk consistently 85f32a(10000101)...
Dunno if there could be any significance in that… @joshuef - do you want client logs?
just tried again and same chunk f026db(11110000) which is diferent from your missing chunk

I downloaded it fine on first attempt in 45 seconds. Surprising as this machine is still on 0.83.31 and I hear much talk of the benefits of new clients.
Wrong @ there me thinks
