So, this XS Jeff is you eh.
I've only just redeployed the 0.4.3b DIMES client to all my machines and it seems like they are doing ok.
The reason why we've been having such a low output in the past was because of the ICMP bug that kept on closing the client when ICMP traffic was being passed on to the client. Now with the new client, it seems like the bug is gone and Free-DC will once again run this at full speed.
