Iptables log shows ICMP connections to 128.95.160.144 sometimes blocked with a TYPE=3 and CODE=10. Could this be the project rejecting the connection because of too many connections already to my IP? I have 21 boxes sharing the one outgoing IP thru my firewall, maybe the project rejects over x-number of current connections at one time?

Sorry for being so ignorant of Iptables rules.
I'm trying to make sure I don't have a problem on my side, but usually I can connect with Rosetta@home fine. Sometimes downloads stall out for awhile, maybe it's related.

Thanks for any help from you admin guru types.

Regards,

Mike

Certainly sounds likely. You (and the project servers) could really make good use of a caching proxy. That would eliminate downloads of the same files (such as the application executable and the database) for each and every machine.

An excellent idea that I've been putting off for too long... thanks Mod.Sense
