Patchmaster is flying high
Default Dropped...

I couldn't figure out which forum to ask this in, but since I'm running the latest beta software I figured I'd ask in here. Since loading the beta I've suddenly started acting as an Ultrapeer. I'm not sure I really have the bandwidth for that, but that's a different issue. I'm wondering if someone could explain exactly what the "dropped" column represents on the connection screen. I know it refers to dropped messages, but I can't figure out who dropped what and whether it's actually a bad thing. At the very least, could someone explain which of the two columns represents bad behavior on the part of my node?

If it spikes allot (100% every 5 sec) your connection isn't fast enough .
Try opening les connections
It is indeed confusing where to choke point is : Upload or download .
The maual doesn't state this clearly either .

I know big numbers mean somebody isn't handling the traffic, but I can't figure out who. I'll sometimes see the "I" number spike, sometimes the "O" number. The question is, does "100%/0%" in the dropped column mean that my client isn't keeping up or does it mean the guy on the other end of the connection isn't keeping up?

the O stands for Output : leaving connections
The I means Input : arriving connections

Doesn't matter in wich direction it spikes , basic rule apllies :
If the connection goes shitty , dump it .

I suppose I wanted to know who was doing the dropping because if it's me, I might be able to do something about it. It could even provide an excuse for buying that new computer I've been having trouble justifying.

Actually it does not justify an entire computer .
Just your CPU , RAM and connection .
OK that's almost 1/3 of a new computer but you know what I mean .

I think you've missed the point. I'm looking for an excuse to buy the new computer.
