hiya's all :)

i'm just curious if it mighta been a dtn-thing, or maybe an isp-thing -- especially since the times were similar: my connection dropped this morning (fri jan 26th) at 4:15am & yesterday
morning (thurs 25th) at 3:37am, and i was curious as to why it happened. i accept that it'll happen from time-to-time for any of a myriad of reasons, but thought i'd ask here & perhaps eliminate one of the main suspects ];)

thanks for any info, and for providing us all with a great product/service :)

Hi lbfvt,

We did have not heard of any overnight outages the last few days. I would check with your ISP to see if they have had any reports of overnight problems.

Sorry I could not be more help.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.

thanks - good to know it wasn't your end :)

dammit, again!

so can i rule you guys out for any gremlins fri. feb.9th at 10:24am
and then again today at very similar time mon. feb.12th at 10:34am?

please lemme know & thanks - lbfvt!

I have no cooresponding down time reported or noticed on our end. As you can see below over 100 trades were sent out during that minute on QQQQ alone so I am very confident that there was no global server issue and data was received and broadcast normally during that time. Similar results are available on the other time in question.

ok then -- thanks for enlightening me, evangelical reverend tim ];)

good morning, eh

connection timed-out twice again very recently, so:

any hang-ups at your end yesterday just before the 4pm close, or
overnite at approx 2:04am?


i'm leaning towards thinking it's via the isp, and something to do
with the weather - as others have told me to watch out for at this
time of yr.


maybe it's time to go back to via satellite delivery - this internet
stuff leaves much to be desired - too many bumps along the way
from leaving your place to arriving at mine, i keep noticing :(

p.s -

whatsa current status on this, btw:


DTN.IQ for For Satellite is now available on the DTN.IQ beta website. This version is being released as the first Public Beta!

This version greatly increases the speed in which it first loads. T here are quite a few other enhancements and bug fixes.

DTN.IQ for Satellite is released, but no further development is expected on it. As more and more customers opt for Internet delivery, we don't have justification to continue support/development for this software.

The connection drop just before the close would be due to a power failure at one of our datacenters. Users connected to that datacenter should have automatically reconnected to another datacenter. That datacenter was left on backup power, and it is possible it was switched back in the middle of the night causing another hiccup.

ah, interesting - thanks for info.

still yearning for good ol' days of 99.999% reliability of satellite -
i guess today most guys accept the trade-off between a few
dropped connections vs. a significantly lower subscription fee?

...at the risk of hexing myself by admitting this, i figured out my
quirky dynastore seems to run MUCH better since disabling its
feature that would start-up my omega server while booting itself
up initially. it's been booting up faster & advising 100% of my
symbols everytime since.

anybody out there running dynastore with anything from omega
perhaps oughta avoid that feature if in use & problematic, ok?
