Folks: We just committed the patches to resolve ticket #928. On at least some grids this should make downloads start sooner and progress faster. Please try it out! We did a good job of writing accompanying unit tests for the patch, but in addition to that it would be good to have some reports from the field about how it behaves for you.
Start with darcs get --lazy http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk or download a tarball from http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/snapshots/?C=M;O=D And then follow the instructions in docs/install.html -- http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html . Also I've upgraded the public test gateway, so you can try it by downloading files from: http://testgrid.allmydata.org:3567/uri/URI%3ADIR2%3Adjrdkfawoqihigoett4g6auz6a%3Ajx5mplfpwexnoqff7y5e4zjus4lidm76dcuarpct7cckorh2dpgq/ and you can see reports on the performance of your downloads by using the "Recent Uploads and Downloads" link from the welcome page: http://testgrid.allmydata.org:3567/ There are no more functional changes for Tahoe-LAFS v1.6! I hope to finish any documentation or packaging issues and announce it to the world this weekend (i.e. within 48 hours). Regards, Zooko http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/928# start downloading as soon as you know where to get K shares _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
