----------------------------
the only times SMP was talked about was on the second post and later on in the 2 and 3 page guess i was not looking at each post as much, i am talking about when it Gets to the FINISHED_UNIT stage (no error)
me and bruce seem to be on the lines of when its sending the work unit
your still thinking about SMP thats more an limitation of the MPI that thay use, to me this topic is about that delay when it start sending unit , but i see its turnd more into the MPI SMP problem
i still do not see why its not so hard to do an FINISHED_UNIT trigger to make it start an download at same times as upload if unit compleated with no error, as it does this if the client is restarted
Could well be that this thread started off with another client in mind, but I narrowed down to SMP from the 1st post I entered here.
I went with the Title of this thread and then for the item that loses me (and others) the most time; I can't do anything about the 4 minute pause, but I can reduce the upload time by choosing another ISP or another of his products with a higher upload speed ...
That 's why I went on about the time 'lost' after the upload is done (after a 100% successful finish), between it and a download, when the Client is really twisting its thumbs, freewheeling.
At that time, I could only try to prove things with log texts that I had from recent interventions on stalled SMP Wu's ...
I 've done a little programming in my school days and I don't know what can and cannot be done with the MPI, but I would try to stop the client after a 100% finish (after the last data block is written to harddisk) and then restart it ...
Without searching for a bug that I might not be able to fix (because maybe it is part of the MPI)
