Multiple filelist uploads

[spaljeni 0]

a bit tricky to explain...

here is what happens... assume 1 user is on 3 same hubs as you are

now when he tries to grab your list, apex seems to open additional upload slots and in the end you have the same user downloading your filelist from three different hubs and there is nothing you can do about it.

tried to close two of those connections, no result.

same sh-- after a few second.

now, is there no way to prevent these sort of things hapening?

can't apex detect that it is uploading 3 filelists to the same IP and close all but one connection automatically?

speaking of small upload slots... why is the minimum set to "3".

Not at present, it will be fixed with full ADC implementation tho.

The NMDC protocol doesn't have have a way of uniquely identifying users, but as Satan says the ADC protocol will, which we should see gradually getting phased in. Basically, this isn't a bug, just an inherent limitation of the protocol. As such I'll move this topic to Support, but it's something which has been discussed before, you should be able to find some threads in the Support forum, and probably the Feature Requests forum.

I don't know what you're asking about the small upload slots though. What's wrong with a minimum of three?

All Greg said is right, small upload slots are slots for files up to "You specify how large" in size, so that a user does not have to wait days for a single 1MB file if your regular upload slots are taken. A slot for filelist download is always granted automatically tho.
