Today Dave and I spent over 3 hours trying to figure out some issues. I tried uploading 52 files in one transaction, but they didn’t upload. I got the errors quoted below. I kept trying again and again — a total of four transactions — and each time the number of addresses receiving ANT decreased: transaction 1 sent to 212 addresses, transaction 2 to 170, transaction 3 to 4, and transaction 4 also to 4. All four uploads failed.
I made a fifth attempt, but I forgot to mark the files as public, so they were uploaded as private — and this time the upload succeeded (I haven’t tested if they download). This transaction paid to 3 addresses.
Then I tried uploading them again as public. Transaction 6 paid to 2 addresses and said the upload was successful, but Dave didn’t show the Data Addresses, only the Data Maps.
I decided to try again from a different address. I made six more transactions there, and every upload failed — each one paid to between 7 and 2 addresses.
At that point I ran out of time because my child woke up. I should also mention that I deleted the bootstrap_cache folder several times during the process.

Dave was doing yesterday’s problems, so I tried from a virtual machine in case something went wrong on the main one. From there I was able to upload successfully, with the first transaction from the main machine sending ANT to 210 addresses, and the second transaction from the virtual machine sending ANT to 29 addresses. I mistakenly selected only 50 files to upload and had to make a third transaction with the remaining 2 files from the batch.

The team has indicated that it is still not recommended to upload data, as only 15% of the nodes have updated to the new version. However, I still decided to test the new version of Dave, since it appears to perform better in Quote Gathering. Below is a comparison of the upload speeds for versions 0.3.9, 0.4, and 0.4.1:

Overall
The biggest improvement is Bible (BG 1925) with ~51% faster upload.
Only one case saw a slowdown: King James Bible (~25% slower).
Between 0.4.0 and 0.4.1, the speed improvements are very consistent: 46–51% faster across all tests.
