RE: Improvements to database file updating script for the CPU_QuickMag Gridcoin CPU performance estimator

in #utopian-io7 years ago

Slight clarification. If the download crashes or times out, you will not hang indefinitely. If the progress % is still on screen then at least one download is still making progress (probably very slowly).

If you want I can put the progress bars back in as a debug mode, but it will be very visually unappealing.

Sort:  

I experienced this when downloading for WCG, and I found out that basically the only way I can find how downloads are going is the system monitor. Even there, I couldn't know if the download was going slowly or there was a problem. I posted this post because I thought that explicit is better than implicit. I think adding a -v or --verbose option for this would be quite good in this case.
Again, thank you for making this script!

It is in as debug and as -v. Its really not what you where hoping for.
I can make it look nicer based on the same code, but it will add 30% to time for the script to finish.

I'll have to rewrite the script in its entirety to keep the multi-threading and get individual progress bars.
