SER bandwidth distribution per thread by default?

Nikodim

Lets suppose we have 1 proxy with 10 active threads and 1 megabytes/sec max throughput.

And our target list consist of many lightweight < 250 kilobytes urls as well as 1 large = 50 megabytes url. HTML timeout = 50 sec.

What happens when SER gets to the fatty? Will it choke on large url, meaning that while SER is at it 9 other threads most probably will report download faileds when their HTML timeout will be reached? 

I.e. is there some kind of b/w distibution without setting Bandwidth limit in options? Or it is better to set limit if I want to make things even between threads ? 

:-?

Without that option checked it is simply taking as much bandwitch as possible.

Nikodim

Strange... If I take for example 20 proxies with 4 megabytes/sec throughput each and fire up it at 300 threads it will distribute bw something like that: 

So its more or less even? 

Then If I halve proxies, throughput doubles up to around 1500000-2000000 bytes/sec for each proxy...? 

Sven

No, this option is not taken per proxy...it's the bandwidth of your PC and for your PC it doesn't matter where the packets are sent (proxy or directly).

Nikodim

You mean that default win monitor shows wrong numbers?   :-?

Seems alright to me... I mean, it lists proxies IP and everything...

Sven

I was not speaking about your monitor app but how SER handles it.

Nikodim

Okay, so if it uses as much BW as possible then why:

300 threads x 10 proxy = 20x500kb = 10 mb/s total

300 threads x 20 proxy = 10x1000kb = 10 mb/s total 

[total allowed bw for server is 25 mb/s+]

No offense here of any kind, just trying to understand things

:@)

sorry I don't know what this monitor data is saying/telling you / me.
