I've watched lots of you post about client problems: stalls, tests being rejected, etc. etc. Up until recently I had absolutely no problems on eight clients. I was seeing run times approaching 1500 hours!

Recently I noticed that my country stats where about a third of my personal production (see poll). This led Louie to discover that submissions through the SoB proxy where not counted correctly (I use sbp.pns.net on port 22).

I decided to reconfigure my clients to submit to sb.pns.net on port 1717 and BAM! Client problems rose a few notches. After a few day of nursing clients along I put everything back the way it was (sbp.pns.net:22). Things look good so far....

So maybe if you are having client problems, post through the proxy and country stats be damned!

Hope this helps
