Primary/Backup Server-Connections Bug
« on: April 22, 2011, 11:13:50 am »
I've read that this Bug was placed bevor, but it was not fixed yet.

The problem is, that my Primary Server Server has a low retention but a high numer of connections.
My backup Server hast a high retention and a low number of connections.

When Alt.Binz ist switching to the backup server it still uses the number of connections from the primary and so i get a lot of connection problems.
It would be great if this could be fixed.

I'm using Alt.Binz 0.38.0 on a Ubuntu/Linux System.
Alt.Binz is running in WINE. And everything ist working fine.

I have had this issue for a very long time, not only due to fewer connections, but also because of the connections opening, closing, then reopening too quickly... and the server thinks I'm using connections that have already been closed for a short time after.

The way this is solved on another application, and I can't imagine this feature being reliable withOUT it... is

1. leave all primary/backup servers connected while not in use.
2. when a missing part is found, use that open connection to download it.

--extra
3. you could have a option similar to "connected when idle" to enable this feature.
4. It would be great if both "while idle" options had a timer attached, "connected when idle for first x minutes"

That way, you don't go over your max connections on a backup server, neither the primary/backup servers will block you for reconnecting too quickly, and you will always have an open connection for backup use.
