hello
i am trying out altbinz .25(( last public release ))
my current news server is giving me a lot of missing blocks ... it has all the files that are needed except they are always missing blocks.(( this is a new occurence as it has been workin fine for a while now ))
so i got an second usenet account to set up as my backup (( fill in server )) to my primary
Server A (( primary))
|
------Server B (( backup ))
Now i am assuming that when i am downloading from primary and when it comes accross a file that it downloads and it is missing some blocks the backup will kick in to get the missing blocks (( assuming that backup server has these blocks and that they are there in the first place .. not a bad upload with missing blocks ))
in reality it is still the same as if i had only a primary server , it is still downloading a lot of files with missing blocks and then when download is finished there is still too many blocks missing for even pars to recover nothing happens there is no sign of the backup server.
so my question is how does backup server meant to work .. does it work in real time to monitor primary server and when missing blocks occurs it kicks in to see if it can get these missing blocks, also in my main window i see my primary connections but i do not see backup connections anywhere - is there somewhere in altbinz letting me know that my backup server is ready and waiting (( i know that it works because i can set it up as a primary and then i get all connections from both primaries on my main window , but to me this is no good as i got this second account as block account that never expires just for fill ins og missing blocks ))
any help would be appreciated
ps by the way i read thru the forums found these threads but still i cannot get backup ( fill in ) server just to fill in missing blocks
