Astraweb's slowdowns & propagation issues in the evening (GMT)

[sandman_1]

I might be mistaken but it seems that reducing posting lines from 5000 to 3000 and par2 block size from 640000 to 384000 accordingly has helped but i cant be sure of course..
We'll see how it is gonna work out.

This a quote from Stevef, an official Astraweb support guy for the Newsbin forums.

Re: Am I alone on uploading problems ?

If people have problems uploading, then they should submit a ticket describing the problem.
I've seen a few reports on forums about upload issues, none of which give any details of how they're uploading, what software they're using to upload, or anything useful to diagnose any problem. It could very well be a problem with the uploader. There's just not enough info to know. Unless we see ticket submissions about uploading problems, then there is no problem.

I should note that the problems mentioned in this thread have been looked into and dealt with. Any uploading problems mentioned on other forums are the ones I'm referring to about not providing more info.

Anyways, today in the evening slow processing of uploaded stuff issue hit AW servers yet again and it was exactly during that time when speed slow down happened.
switched to giga - maxed out my connection again
On the bright side it seems these 2 issues have started hitting AW servers less often than they used to

You never answered my question so I assume that you never have contacted Astraweb and tried to resolve your problem. How are they going to fix something for you if you won't tell them what's going on?

[Hypatia]

I sent them 2 emails about slow processing of uploaded stuff in the evening and kinda slow speeds at that period. They told me nothing worth mentioning and didnt even bothered to include in their reply about slow processing of uploaded stuff issue.
I can live with speed slow down besides i've just read that there are some problems with major ISP "pipes" out there here due to the weather conditions affecting our speed to the foreign resources , but slow processing of uploaded stuff issue isnt covered by this. Its their problem. And since they dont wanna talk about ot i assume they know about it as well.

I believe Steve Foster is more than an official support guy. He might be one or more of the folllowing: Astraweb founder/owner/operator/manager/CTO

ive just come back home,

Very bad propagation and processing of the uploaded posts is happening right now

GMT 7:15 PM Tuesday 28 December

TEST # 1
Size 800mb p
Upload Age: 10 min

Parts checked: 1085
Undownloadable parts: 142
[b]13,09% of the data can't be downloaded!

TEST #2

Size: 800mb
Upload Age: 50 min


Still processing.... looks like 90% loss of data yet headers show the whole 800mb file size

Parts checked: 1081
Undownloadable parts: 1018
94,17% of the data can't be downloaded!

Yep. Its official. AW has just completely fucked up 800mb post.

GMT 8:20 PM Tuesday 28 December

Extremely slow processing of uploads and propagation issue have disappeared


Totally unacceptable
If the size of the upload is larger for instance in case of BDRip than its even worse

Giganews doesnt have this issue.

AW has it in the evening.Its Ok during the night, day and morning

You never did post a tracert listing from you to astraweb, so really nobody has any kind of idea as to what is going on with your link.

Because, during the last 48+ hours, I've uploaded over 50GB to Astraweb (with JBinup using SSL through a VPN service), with ZERO loss or hiccups of any kind to the four servers I monitor for propagation, including GN US/Eur.

So....

[Hypatia]

You never did post a tracert listing from you to astraweb,

no offence, but what ru smoking m8?
there is nothing going on with MY link

propagation issues and slowed upload processing(not just my uploads, all EFnet uploads, everything that is posted during these hours through certain servers) have nothing to do with "tracert" and the information it provides or the LINK itself.
you should know what "article not found" means and what it has to do with THEIR servers not my link.
and u do know how to use headers to monitor your uploads in real time

It has everything to do with their servers being overloaded at this time

There are a number of posts really screwed up today in the evening from different EFnet release teams(for instance efnet Howl 720p amiable)
Deal with it.

The fact is: AW has propagation and slow upload processing issues in the evening. The rest of the day is just fine

My tracert information hasnt changed a bit since the day when i subscribed and when everything was fine and starting from the day when shit hit the fan.


PS

news.astraweb.com

Several uploads from the period of time when shit starts from EFNet Team:

efnet howl 720p amiable

Parts checked: 8424
Undownloadable parts: 2107
25,01% of the data can't be downloaded!

cic-tbalcua

Parts checked: 1083
Undownloadable parts: 100
9,23% of the data can't be downloaded!

cic-tbalcub
cic-tbalcuc

didnt bother to wait till everything is checked out- more than 20 rar files are completely missing

nympho-rrla.cd1

Parts checked: 1085
Undownloadable parts: 34
3,13% of the data can't be downloaded!

and so on and so on.
i just dont have time to do all the dirty work just to prove that is a given FACT

[Beck38]

blah blah blah

Again, obviously it's something with your setup, link, isp, etc. I have NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER with Astraweb. And, if there were problems, I'm sure that there would be tons of folks complaining all over the place, on other boards, and their aren't. That's the big clue as to where the problem lies.

I guess you can keep complaining, but.. until you do some basic troubleshooting, I don't think you'll get very far.

[Hypatia]

blah blah blah

Again, obviously it's something with your setup

folks are complaningon the other forums.
and since the issues take place only within several hours in the evening when majority work. and majority download via nzbs after half an hour approximately after the upload is done or so... do i need to spell the obvious, AW troll?

blab bla bla on the facts of numerous screwed on the SERVER side uploads and visible slowed processing. haha

learn to read and train ur brain, AW fanboy, obviously there is something seriously wrong with ur understanding and logic and also knowledge of how things work.
But i shouldnt be surprised judging by ur utterly stupid suggestion considering tracert on a matter of article not found from all AW servers..

until you do some basic troubleshooting

ive done all the troubleshooting lo.l there are no "trouble@ here, m8

folks from efnet acknowledge the problem

dont take me for a guy like you who doesnt know his way around these matters.

Jerk off on AW till you feel like cuming, mon ami

DIXI


PS Moderators, please, close the thread. I dont need any more bloody stupid morons coming in here
Nowadays they dont teach fucking kids anything anymore.. tracert my ass
