Greetings all,

I have 5MB download speed here, so perhaps an issue with the number of users at present.
This is what I guess, too. If more than two or three users request the same image (spectrogram), the file is created "new" (with slightly different contents), and the first user receives for example the first half of an older file, and the second half of a newer file which was created when a new file request arrives.

Similar effects can be seen on other grabbers (though less frequent), when the file is updated just in the moment it is downloaded. Making the refresh interval longer will reduce the effect, but not cure it. The only cure I can think of at the moment is to produce a new filename for every new request, and delete old files only if they are not used any longer. I will try to reproduce the effect locally (with a few PCs in the local network).

I will let you know as soon as an improved version is available. Until then, the easiest solution would be to periodically upload the waterfall image via FTP to a server with a larger bandwidth (remember, the upload bitrate of a "home" ADSL connection is much lower than the download bitrate).

Cheers, Wolf .
