Upload tests

Unless it is a shocking coincidence, I’ve just managed to do a 20 file archive upload on a second try. That is the biggest I’ve managed by far, after fighting to upload 9 files over the last 2 days!

The process was:

  • ant file upload -x -p (this failed 1st time… I think… it’s late! ha!)
  • ant file upload -x -p / (repeated for each file via a script)
  • ant file upload -x -p (this worked 2nd time!)

What’s the difference? I’ve swapped out my Fritz!Box 7530 for a Mikrotek hAP ax3.

I’ll experiment over the next few days, but I’d be stunned if the above was a coincidence, as I’ve been bashing my head against a brick wall.

EDIT:

I just tried throwing an 100 MB video (MP4) file into the archive and repeated the directory upload. Lots of traffic, then I got this error:

Error: 
   0: Failed to upload file
   1: Failed to upload file
   2: Error occurred during payment.
   3: Wallet error: NetworkTokenContract(ContractError(TransportError(ErrorResp(ErrorPayload { code: -32000, message: "Post \"http://10.17.57.178:8547/rpc\": context deadline exceeded", data: None }))))
   4: Network token contract error: server returned an error response: error code -32000: Post "http://10.17.57.178:8547/rpc": context deadline exceeded
   5: server returned an error response: error code -32000: Post "http://10.17.57.178:8547/rpc": context deadline exceeded

However, I just re-ran the command and within about a minute, it completed successfully! Too much of a coincidence… I’ll do more testing and maybe it relates to the time of day or some such, but this is by far the easiest upload of files I’ve had in weeks!

So, in summary, the quality of the router seems to be making a huge difference to data transfer at the moment. This is both in terms of running nodes and/or uploading files, especially archives and/or large files.
