Hi Tony I don't seem to be getting 100% uptime due to 4 of 5 gaps per day thought it was upload software versions but still the same , taken RPi offline for maintenance plenty of on-board ram only 30% used and done some stuff to memory card and also gave the router a new PPPoE connection.
I am starting to think this issue is on my side how does it look from your end ?
I can't add anything to this above what I've said in the past. A few lost minutes are not abnormal and that happens to quite a few people but certainly not everyone. The 100% uptime allows for 5 lost minutes. There are some people who it happens to all the time (but you are okay some days). I don't see any errors that say an upload failed (there are loads of error traps) and when I've put a monitor on a user, that always says that they do not arrive at the server in the first place.
The only thing I can point out is that if the server has a problem (other than an Apache restart which usually just results in queuing for a few secs, or actual full restarts etc) I don't see errors on my upload directly to the server on the server itself (i.e. not via the internet or router/switch). But I have an ADSL2+ line as well from another provider uploading in the same way as everyone else and that hardly ever shows any lost minutes. Both use DSLstats, currently 5.7.1. Both on Windows 24/7 machines, Win 7 and Win 8.1 FWIW. Not so good though if I hibernate the Win 7 machine then DSLstats gets very erratic after wake up. Stopping and restarting stats cures it a bit Eric is aware of this as noted on another current thread.
It might be interesting to find people with missing minutes and see what stats prog they are using if you have an idle few minutes (use 12 hour as it's more obvious and that has all the minutes plotted). I can't remember if it happens with both HG612 Stats and DSLstats.
I'm pretty confident that it is is occurring due to something en-route though. I watched carefully the other evening when the server had a record number of uploaders and users and couldn't see anything of note. The server is never heavily loaded either currently.
