Campaigns downloading

Post by SP »

Hello!

I connects to campaigns server but with downloading big campaigns i have an error message: "Remote host disconnected"

But when I download small campaing - everything is fine.

Any suggestions?

Check your route to campaigns.wesnoth.org (traceroute or similar tool). There might be a faulty host somewhere that rejects your connections once in a while.

What connection do you have? What is your ping to the campaigns server?

For comparison, I must do with a measly (not even) 56 kbps and a ping in the range of several hundreds, yet I've got no problems downloading the campaigns which have over 1 MB.

I don't think there is some problem with trace to campaings host.

I can download 100-300 Kb, and after that connection brokes. :(

I have leased line 512Kb.

Ping to campaings.wesnoth.org:
PING campaings.wesnoth.org (212.85.150.6): 56 data bytes

Big reply time is because of connection between above.net and ielo.net

P.S. I wrote message as SP.

My average ping time for the campaign server is 115 ms.

By comparison my avg ping time for yahoo.com is 16 ms.

I think it's a combination of server latency and your connection. Can you get access to a high-speed connection somewhere so you can see if that helps things?

Topic closed.
I just downloaded both campaings over 1 Mb.
Can't explain what happened, may be ISP changed route.

Anyhow, thanks all.

As I am hosting campaigns.wesnoth.org and devsrv.wesnoth.org:

* both run on same system, behind same bandwidth
* download 120 KB/s, upload 20 KB/s
* campaign downloads and uploads eat bandwidth
* multiplayer games eat bandwidth
* my personal use eats bandwidth (upgrading systems, browsing web, fetching latest KNOPPIX cd, etc)
