What's tracker rate limiting? I'm doing the Formspring project and it's constantly cycling that message |

BlueMaxim: Basically limiting how many items we hand out a minute, to prevent overloading their servers. |

BlueMaxim |
ah, I must have been one of the unlucky ones |
08:53

|
BlueMaxim |
from what I saw my Warrior process I only got like 1/2 items |

BlueMaxim |
although I could be wrong |

7 items |

How is tracker rate limiting not a descriptive enough message to understand? |

|
BlueMaxim |
well when it was constantly repeating to the point where I had my tracker running for a few hours and still only getting a handful of items |
09:14
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
made me think it might be something other than the obvious |
09:15
🔗
|
GLaDOS |
You mean, your warrior running, right? |
09:16
🔗
|
ersi |
You don't have a tracker up |
09:17
🔗
|
ersi |
and I'm not just asking because you asked about it, a lot of people do. Maybe change it to "ArchiveTeam Project Tracker rate limiting"? Would that be clearer? |
09:57
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
What about adding a little bit of descriptive flair to the projects that have it enabled? Like right below the Formspring project: "This project is currently limited in order to avoid overloading their servers. Do not be alarmed if your Warrior takes some time to begin downloading files." |

Where to? |

BlueMaxim |
The projects page |
10:01
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
Below the description of each project that's limited |
10:02
🔗
|
ersi |
Who would check there, if it's updated after you've selected a project? |
10:02
🔗
|
ersi |
don't know how much a project can handle, before we start adding pressure to it |
10:03
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
Maybe the Warrior could use some sort of news system for projects |
10:03
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
to inform about updates and such |
10:06
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
maybe as an RSS feed so that you can keep updated about Warrior shit even when you're not near your PC |
10:24
🔗
|
Smiley |
you mean other than twitter? |
10:25
🔗
|
BlueMaxim |
integrating the Twitter feed into the Warrior could work |

Well, it'll most likely end in my murder, but here goes. |

I dunno, I want to do something about this because people keep asking and thinking the wrong thing with the current error message - but neither of those options sounds good |

just caught one of my VMs trying to run out of RAM. I just added a new swap file on the /data partition which seems to be working fine. |

sep332: Formspring? How many threads are you running and how much memory per wget-lua process ish? :o |

posterous, it's set to 6 but only 4 are running |

i just added 100MB of swap because i wasn't sure it would work. will add more when i get to work |
12:08
🔗
|
ersi |
that's way too much. What else is taking memory? The Mem is counted for, what's swapping? |
13:19
🔗
|
sep332 |
well that was just resident memory which now that i think of it is not so informative. |
13:19

sep332 |
how do i tell what's swapping? |
13:23
🔗
|
ersi |
basically, the wget processes are accounted for and they fit into the actual memory used - what more than that takes memory? |
13:23

ersi |
ps aux > ps.txt and post it somewhere :) |

well i just found out how to make top sort by swap used, and the warriors are at the top. |

Okay, but it's kinda weird - since they seem to fit well in memory.. But your memory in the warrior is full. |

true, they're only taking ~60% of my ram but i have less than 4MB free right now! |

what numbers does `free -m` return |

shouldn't swap/kill wget-lua processes though |

|
sep332 |
so yeah, the wget-lua-warrior proc's are using >700MB of virtual memory. they have a total of 500k URLs. using over 1 kb/URL seems unreasonably large |

oh man, it was formspring this whole time. i think my brain was off this morning |

hi folks - got a daft question if I may - having been running the Warrior VM for a while, is it possible to remove the data volume and create a smaller one in its place or will trying that cause problems? |
20:24
🔗
|
Baljem |
unfortunately I need to free up a few gig on the host I provisioned the VM on due to a work emergency :-/ |
20:26

|
alard |
Baljem: Yes (but not while it's running, obviously). |
20:26
🔗
|
alard |
The warrior will create a partition and format it when it boots. |
20:26

|
Baljem |
brilliant, thank you! |

that's a relief, I would have felt bad to have abandoned the effort ;) |
