performance is blistering from my end uploaded 40Gb of tunes no problem i forgot to time it but guessing 4 or 5 hours.
only errors I saw in the nohup was when a file was larger than 10Mb
now downloading them to another client at the moment
on a free tier oracle arm based VPS
yep.
total files uploaded:253 – total bytes uploaded:1,110,990,333
I’m on a slower connection than most I expect. but wasn’t having many of these errs when I started, but becoming more common.
The ~17GB images folder upload went perfectly fine.

For anyone struggling to gather a lot of real files under 10mb, here is a text file that includes a ton of image URLs (from unsplash.com) for photos that I didn’t already upload on this testnet :
safe cat safe://hy8oycym7rdmj5h1gy5x9i5hu83of5dqebcp3o7ayky6ercuaqotx7dxkga > unsplash_images_URLs.txt
On linux or mac :
sudo apt-get install wget if you’re on linux or maccd to the folder.wget -i unsplash_images_URLs.txt on linux or mac, or try for /F "eol=;" %f in (unsplash_images_URLs.txt) do curl -O %f on windows (I didn’t try, I’m on mac)And it will try to download everything until you stop it (or your hard drive is full like mine…)
Many photos are > 10mb, so when you’re finished make sure to delete these before uploading your folder to this testnet.
I’m going to get some rest. If anyone want to use my gist for uploading random data files under 10Mb - I’ve updated the code to include a files counter and total bytes uploaded sum. The verify doesn’t work yet - leave commented out.
my totals for the evening:
total files uploaded:279 – total bytes uploaded:1241542269
good night all! 
1.7gb (200 random.txt files) uploaded and faster than the last testnet. Going for 6.8gb (800 random.txt files) now.
Iv run out of actual files so now I’m giving your script a whirl nice work 
Personally I didn’t get any error, I was echoing @TylerAbeoJordan and @Southside posts about clienterror timeout messages.
In any case, great testnet! 
Uped the auntie
Come get me gramer Nazi’s
Now got 3 clients uploading using @TylerAbeoJordan script two cloud based and one home based.
Looks like Internet connection is a key factor as the home client is an i5 and it is being far outstripped in upload speed by the arm based cloud clients.
Ive been very busy all day, just poppin back inside to the kybd from time to time - FWIW I have not seen any further timeout errors since the morning.
I even did for i in {0..1000}; do safe wallet create; done
which completed successfully without errors. On a local baby-fleming, I usually see 2-3 errors per run.
Oh FFS… As the resident Keeper of the Standards, I am duty bound to not only bite but chomp on this disaster
Upped the ante ← sod all to do with yer extended family
Come AND get me, grammar Nazis < what uncouth fellow stole my inappropriate apostrophe?
Good to see the old Island traditions of making your own entertainment during the long winter nights are not entirely lost.
Incest, spòrs don teaghlach gu lèir
lol I read that and wasn’t understanding, quietly thinking “what auntie?”
Now I get it… haha (fabulous spelling 
love those)
I’m impressed so far. Have been uploading 8mb junk files & downloading them again, checking with a sha256 sum (cos that’s the sort of person I am - sorry )
About 1min20 for the upload & 4-5 seconds for the download which is much faster than I was expecting (admittedly it’s been a while since I’ve participated in a testnet). No errors so far.
This is really encouraging - a great start to the new year. Thanks guys.
1000 wallets created in 35 mins - no errors

How full are the nodes now?
my uploads are still going fine with no errors using @TylerAbeoJordan script
Here is a container with 100 x 1MB files:-
“safe://hyryyry1zbn9o5xig9x1ddp5usnay1qtxni79noumpbg87fgxg9n4b35j9hnra?v=h6ui98owiuumijhhuafi4nkxi4qbn83d8k1ktrqi4kkycy9nwwsoy”
To download the whole lot do:- safe files get “safe://hyryyry1zbn9o5xig9x1ddp5usnay1qtxni79noumpbg87fgxg9n4b35j9hnra?v=h6ui98owiuumijhhuafi4nkxi4qbn83d8k1ktrqi4kkycy9nwwsoy”
Then if you want to check the validity of the download you can do this:-
Generate a file containing the md5sums of the downloaded files:- cd into the directory
md5sum * >> md5sums_downloaded
Then see if the md5sums are the same between what I uploaded and what you downloaded:-
diff md5sums md5sums_downloaded
The command prompt should return after printing nothing. If there are any differences in the md5sums for a file you’ll see output with the name of the file.
The network is saying , “hey, wait, timeout, stop being greedy!”

I’ve been thinking that perhaps the timeouts are a combination of distance to node and node activity.
Some people are getting no errors, so if they are closer to the nodes then maybe they are getting preferential access? I’m in Australia, so guessing physical distance is an issue.
Or alternatively perhaps it’s because I have a slow/limited upload speed - only about 500-600kb/s ? Maybe this is more likely, but a combo of resistance points seems credible too.
iv been hammering your script all night and still going strong I haven’t seen any errors from my quick glances at what’s going on.
would it possible to add an error counter to the script ?
