1) Message boards : Server programs : Server support from the community (Message 98398)

Post:
Hello,
We are running time to time some challenges / race on some projects, to keep the momentum high and leverage it to recruit some new members as well.
But by doing this, it puts sometimes the server of the project under pressure and some might have issues (usually on the network side, upload/download,...)

I was thinking we could support them by running some temporary upload or download server to support the project. But I am not sure if this is a good idea and how complicated at the end it will be for the project admin.

Objective is not to create complexity, but simply to extend our support there.

Any thoughts about this?

Thank you
2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC Mirror needed? (Message 88051)

Hello,
Yesterday I was downloading BOINC on some PCs (In Vietnam) and I found the download speed to be pretty slow.
It's not the first time and I am wondering if the infra could benefit in having mirrors.

I am the admin of the VN mirror http://mirror.freedif.org and I still have some bandwidth and disk space available for BOINC if needed.

Is it something doable and needed?

Thanks

It's quite an interesting project as it is a new concept. (But there are pros and cons)

Everything is explain here:

You need to send them an email to ask for an invitation code.

Happy crunching.

Actually LHC@home is not know as Test4theory (Still in dev)

Because it is very complicated to maintain differents applications for us (Especially because they use big library and have a lot of dependencies) they are trying (And it's working so far) to use the technology of virtual machines.

Ie, BOINC download a virtual machine, the machine starts and crunch for xx hours.
Like this, they are able to offer a unique virtualmachine to every platform.

I recommand you to check the link.

Happy crunching

I am not going to try all downloads as it's pretty clear that your statement about these speeds being based on my download speed is wrong. Even when the first video is now coming in at 850KB/s, it is nowhere near my maximum download speed of 6MB/sec. Not even on your Gigabit server.

The download speeds are through torrent based on how many other people have the file, how much of the file they have and how quickly they have set their uploads. It isn't based on the upload speed of your server.


It can indeed takes time to reach your maximum speed. It also depends where you live, as my server is located in France.
And insure you that you don't have any firewall blocking your p2p port.

I've made a test with a friend, using a similar server than I, still in France. His download speed reached 15mb/s and takes less than a minute.
I might try with bigger file to see how fast it can be but I guess it is not very useful here.
(My max under torrent was 25mb/s but 45mb/s using HTTP, after the hardware might not be powerfull enough)

Anyway, if torrent doesn't suit you and if you prefer download the file in a passive way, I've set up a share space:

Enjoy

Downloading the videos should not take 8 hours as there is a gigabit server behind that. It should be pretty quick actually, based on your maximum download speed.

Youtube is starting to use more and more ads and downloading the videos from youtube not so great....
But torrent, being really Open, free and very reliable seems to be a good choice (I took this choice)
