Topic: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

I keep trying to get DP_Graphics_PhysX_wnt5_x86-32_1004.7z, but it's giving me a 33 MB file instead of 50+ MB. The problem is that the server is actually reporting that the file is 50+ MB. So as an outsider, I'd estimate that this is likely a caching issue.

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

Yeah, we ran into this issue yesterday and this morning with the new PhysX 1006 I uploaded yesterday.  The FTP CDN site has the correct file, but the CDN server propagation is borked somehow.
The only way for us to "flush" the server cache at the moment is for me to log in, rename the file, wait about an hour, then rename it back again.  That should effectively flush the cache.
Hopefully, SimpleCDN is aware of the issue now and is handling it themselves.
If not, we can do it manually.

If you want to PM me a temp link, I can mirror it for you on my host in the meantime. It's up to you. *shrug*

Thanks Wim.


Also I just noticed the title of this thread. lol @ silly censor script.


edit--

I fixed the title.

I just tested it. Download works fine now for me now. MD5 matched and everything. If anyone else reading this still has the same issue, give it a bit (up to an hour?) while the cache data propagates through SimpleCDN's network.

Yep, PunBB is quite stupid in that it inserts BBCode into titles … tongue

Thanks for fixing the title smile

I've contacted SimpleCDN, but the problem seems to have resolved itself just a minute after I contacted them. They're looking into it as we speak!

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

Same problem with DriverPack Sound A and DriverPack Sound B, both through BASE as well as manual site DL.
All other packs were loaded properly...

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

Just checked, does work neither with IE nor FF.

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

And SimpleCDN is not responding *whatsoever* sad I'll keep you posted.

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

DriverPack Sound B works again, DriverPack Sound A still down...

EDIT: Worked now after tenth or so retry...

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

Firstly, thanks for your great project! It is very useful.

I have experienced this issue in the last months. The diagnostics I performed showed the HTTP server slamming the connection shut part the way through the download, and it is consistent.

It does seem like a resource exhaustion (ie server overloaded) issue though.

Heimi/Wim - it's worthwhile passing this information on (at least the server closing the connection early), and I imagine that it'll end up costing more bandwidth, due to the re-downloading. It's a pity they didn't resolve it before.

Many thanks, Daniel

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

Wim, has there been any response?
I've just been trying it again (mostly out of curiosity), and now it's failing on DriverPack Graphics A, DriverPack Sound A and DriverPack Sound B.

Could it be due to size of the packs?
So far, none of the smaller ones has been affected, as far as I can tell.


EDIT: And again, worked after several tries.
Interesting thing is, they either failed all or worked all in one go.

Seems to support the server overload issue theory.
The files themselves remain intact apparently (thanks to checksum test).

Re: I think you need to refresh your SimpleCDN cache

New CDN now, that should fix it.
