F@H Qeustion - GUI version!

I have seen problems with the default header size in squid causing it to reject packets if the header is too big. Try increasing from the default (which I think is 20kb ish) to 25kb and see if that works.

how is that done?

how is that done?

Assuming you are using the linux version it is in the squid.conf @

#  TAG: request_header_max_size (KB)
#       This specifies the maximum size for HTTP headers in a request.
#       Request headers are usually relatively small (about 512 bytes).
#       Placing a limit on the request header size will catch certain
#       bugs (for example with persistent connections) and possibly
#       buffer-overflow or denial-of-service attacks.
#
#Default:
# request_header_max_size 20 KB
request_header_max_size 25 KB

Hope this helps

Unfortunately it's not Linux.

Unfortunately it's not Linux.

Apparently Windows uses the same config file

[Admiral Huddy]

so what is the windows config syntax for the above?

 

[Admiral Huddy]

.. so no ideas anyone?

stupid question.. should each instance of the console you have running have different Machine IDs regrdless of the fact it's a different machine.

i.e. if my main rig is machine ID 1 and 2, should the other machine use 3 & 4 etc

 

[oceaness]

Machine ID is on a per PC basis, so you can use 1-8 on every PC I think.

Or is it 0-7 ?

Yeah oceaness, it 1-8 and it only matters on processes running on the same machine. This means that if you have 8 CPUs in one computer you can fold on all of them. If you want to install FAH on multiple computers you do not need to change the machine ID number.

EDIT: Actually, if you discover that you've access to a computer with more than 8 CPUs it's very easy in Linux to break the functionality of the machine ID number so that you can run more than 8 at a time.

EDIT2: Not that it's really relevant to this situation...
