zzz dr|z3d, please keep an eye on 30 XfR i2pd routers at 162.218.65.84 and .85, let me know if you think they look sane...
dr|z3d First glance, they don't look sane, zzz.
dr|z3d All created ~35h ago.
dr|z3d All FXR it appears.
dr|z3d 3 ips addresses, 83, 84, 85.
zzz what's non-sane about them? they look ok-ish to me
dr|z3d why would you spin up that many floodfills on the same 3 ips?
zzz I assume they aren't the new StormyCloud fleet
dr|z3d let's have a look, did you rdns the ip range?
StormyCloud Not from us
zzz they do seem to be port hoppers, so they appear to be NATted
dr|z3d not using "Fork Networking" for hosting, StormyCloud?
zzz Fork based in TX so thought maybe
dr|z3d That lookup suggests OR, not TX. Maybe they have presence all over.
zzz I'm about to discuss SSU2 migration code w/ i2pd because they have some work to do, may be part of the problem
StormyCloud That IP is someone using lionlink transit they are a large provider but not us
orignal my that hard drive finally died
dr|z3d you knew that was going to happen, orignal, no?
dr|z3d smartmontools
orignal I knew but was lazy
dr|z3d don't be lazy! get a haircut!
dr|z3d *** pokes orignal in the ribs. ***
orignal why does snark can't go over 1.5 Mbs?
dr|z3d So it seems Firefox/Librewolf is now reporting the error code when it can't connect to a site.
orignal limts are 4
dr|z3d I've seen it spike at over 4MB/s
orignal it's redowloading most of shit from that dead drive
dr|z3d + or vanilla?
orignal like 20-25 torrents
orignal vanialla
orignal and speed is not impressive
dr|z3d it's smoothing out the speed.
dr|z3d so you probably won't see spikes.
dr|z3d average over 45s, no, zzz?
dr|z3d (in the UI)
orignal if I'm capable to download with 4Mbs what's limiting it?
dr|z3d the clients you're connected to.
dr|z3d how many hops?
dr|z3d (in snark)
orignal 3 hops
dr|z3d try dropping down to 2, your speed will increase.
orignal mostry other snarks
dr|z3d you can optionally add some variability in tunnel length if you want 2-3 hops.
orignal but why?
dr|z3d because speed.
orignal number of hops is latency not speed
dr|z3d you want speed, reduce your hop count.
dr|z3d try it.
orignal will do
dr|z3d remember, the speed is determined by the slowest router in the tunnel chain.. less hops, less chance of a slow router.
dr|z3d so not just latency.
dr|z3d example of Firefox error message (on Firefox generated error pages): "Error code: 500 Unable to connect"
zzz don't know why "only 1.5 mbps" means something is wrong
zzz there's no basis to presume that
orignal that's how I see it
orignal 1.5 Mbs cap
dr|z3d check your bandwidth limits on snark's config page.
dr|z3d those are set dynmically based on available router bandwidth, though I don't know if that applies to i2pd/standalone.
orignal 4 mbs there
orignal you are right!
orignal that router is P
orignal I need to ovveride limits
zzz larger point stands. the constraints are the tunnels and the outbound capacity/congestion of the snark peers, not what you think the bw "should" be
zzz tunnel bw params will help improve things
dr|z3d but he paid for 4MBs and that's what he expects! :)
orignal zzz, so should I increase number of tunnels?
dr|z3d tunnel allocation is dynamic based on the number of connected peers, orignal
dr|z3d so it doesn't hurt to bump the maximum.
orignal me limit is 5
dr|z3d bump it to max. it'll only use what it needs to.
orignal let's increase to 8
dr|z3d that's the max on vanilla.
orignal is max
dr|z3d oh, ok, maybe it got increased.
dr|z3d max tunnels, 2 hops. you'll see speed improvements.
orignal also this is i2p over ygg ))
orignal but again it brings us to the question of 16 IBs max
orignal do you know my idea, right?
orignal well even better question
orignal can I have 16 IB and 64 backup tunnels?
dr|z3d no, you can't. leasesets max out at 16 leases.
orignal that's why I'm asking about backup tunnels
orignal they are not published
dr|z3d ok, didn't realize they weren't published, zzz will know.
dr|z3d obviously you can have as many outbound tunnels as you like. 100s!
orignal yes what zzz said
orignal my whole idea that we can send different leasesets to different peers
orignal we publish one LS to find us and keep updating peers with different leasesets
zzz the snark auto-tunnel-count is one tunnel for every two peers
orignal zzz, what do you think about my idea?
orignal to send different LS to different peer
orignal if you need to share throusands torrents
zzz interesting...
cumlord i think this is what bigly doesn, isn't it?
orignal no it uses multiple destinations
orignal my idea is to use signle destination with many tunnels
orignal what dpes "Tracker error" mean?
cumlord oh, probably not understanding
cumlord can't reach tracker, might say if torrents not registered on tracker2 i think
orignal they are, ofc
orignal dr|z3d. nice. I see 3 Mbs download with 2 hops.
dr|z3d tada, orignal!
orignal how it still doesn't answer why
dr|z3d I told you, less hops, less chance of hitting a slow router.
dr|z3d tracker errors are usually transient errors.
orignal oh well, Java can't swith tunnels throgh I2CP
orignal let me check if I bypass slow tunnels for I2CP
orignal more that 250 ms per hop
