Bok, what value is the blocksize option in the rc5-72 section of the config?

If it's not already, can we get it bumped to 1024 please? From the manual:

[rc5-72]/blocksize: the preferred size of blocks when requesting additional workunits from the upstream server. The default is 256. If clients need smaller block sizes, then your proxy will automatically split large blocks into the needed size, however clients will not be able to request blocks larger than the size your proxy currently has available, since the proxy cannot combine smaller blocks together. Be aware that when your proxy requests additional workunits from the upstream server, this blocksize value may cause your proxy to temporarily exceed the "maxkeysready" since requests will always be done in multiples of this value.

Didn't even have a config for that value at all. I've added one and restarted, see if that works.

What is the cache size for RC5-72? We won't know if it had the desired effect until we crunch everything that was already cached and get to the new stuff.

Between me and DP, we've probably fetched over 30,000 blocks since you made the change. I'm keeping an eye on my Stream client and it's still only getting a maximum of 256 block packets so far.

[rc5-72]
logfilekeyblock=pproxyrc572
logfilekeyblockrotation=daily
minkeysready=3000
maxkeysready=10000
maxkeysdone=20
blocksize=1024

Ah, I forgot about the 20,000 block cache on my end. I'll give it a few more days and then see what comes through. Thanks!

OK, still haven't been getting any come through so I've done some more research and come up with something curious.

The proxyper manual was what I quoted from before, and it clearly says to use "blocksize" to specify the block size and that the default is 256. However, in the included example proxyper.ini it has the option "requestsize=256" in the RC5-72 section. I checked the latest FreeBSD and Linux tarballs and it was apparent for both.

Looks like a mix up on their part. I've changed my proxyper to include both blocksize=1024 and requestsize=1024 and there were no warnings about unknown options when I restarted. Please can you do the same?

edit: Looks good. My proxyper just hit the FDC one up for some more blocks and I saw "[2010-02-10 12:49:52] server: Queueing rc5-72 request for iter 1024."
