Of course, with an average failure time of around 2 seconds, the local neighborhood seems to be more important than the absolute distance… which is a bit counter-intuitive, and not what I expected when I first starting running a node. ---

Anyone of the Raspberry owner try to chance this settings? ```auto # Maximum number of simultaneous transfers storage2.max-concurrent-requests: 7 ``` Maybe here we can find a good value for some raspberry Nodes. I know, the value of one is not the best for the other, but maybe someone have good results whit this, so that other can play whit this too. > [@Should I change max-concurrent-requests? \>\> Note: The implementation has changed.

If you have low powered hardware, you probably shouldn’t. In worst cases you might want to lower it. But if your hardware is fast and your connection is as well, it could be beneficial to raise this number.

I can try but I don’t think it would do much difference. I’ve played with it in the past, with no major changes on traffic performance. ---

I know that this is not the best way to reach a high accept value. But maybe if you get up from 10% to 15% i think its a good way for Raspberry Node owners. Maybe we can chance here a little bit and there a little bit 🙂 If you can try to play whit this, it would be nice to hear the results 🙂 ---

Sure, no worries. I’ll set it on my rpi nodes and post the results. Meanwhile, just adding to it, just assembled another node, a DC8000 on a 30/30 connection, and it’s already outperforming my Pi (my oldest node) running on a 100/100 ISP. So I’m getting pretty convinced that PIs are just way to slow for the network demand now. It’s getting more serious by the week 😉 ---

NO! You should not use this setting at all anymore. It has been mostly deprecated and it could negatively impact your node. Keep that line commented out. ---

My understanding is that not all pieces are equally profitable RPi on a good connection can catch 15% of pieces but these are likely larger. 85% that it didn’t win the race for are likely smaller. Nobody knows which of them users will download more frequently but if all are equally probable then winning larger pieces will generate more revenue. It should be relatively easy to verify. Pieces are regular files. Just compare the average size of all files in the blobs/ directory modified within one day on RPi with 15% success rate and a big server with 60+% rate. ---

They can’t compete with bigger powerful machines and the traffic is low now, so they just get some little pieces. Nevertheless, it’s a inexpensive solution, so just let it run 😉 ---

Oh sorry. My Rpi4 now runs again with Raspian Lite, had Ubuntu Server x64 on it for several months and had several problems and higher cancel rates. I didn’t optimize the OS, just kicked out all the unnecessary packages and deactivated swapping. The normal HDDs are connected via USB3 with an external power supply. ---

nice, thanx! I presume u have Raspbian Buster Lite ? Im totally noob, which packages did u kick out? and how did u deactivate swapping? I see that the Rasbian lite is 32 bit only? or does it exist in 64 bit aswell? I need to have it in 64 bit because i plan to use my RPI4 also for the NOIA-network and it requires 64 bit… Which linux os would you go for? ---

Use 32bit raspbian if you are a noob. You can update the firmware easier from that. 64 bit ubuntu also works quite well but not really for a newbie! ---
