Re: [Glamtools] WMCH server slowed down and GWToolset still trying to download

Dear all, Since Tuesday I’ve started the upload of around 8000 pictures of amoeba, everything was going smoothly until yesterday afternoon. It seems that at a moment we have saturated our own server with too many parallel request and the GWToolset start facing "HTTP request timed out » , as you can see in the GWToolset log https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=gwtool… <https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=gwtoolset> it the same story since yesterday around 5PM. I’ve asked our CIO, and he told me that indeed GWToolset is using the whole bandwidth of our server :-( Now I don’t know what to do? is there a moment GWToolset will stop doing request to the WMCH server? should we restart our server? incidentally , the account used for setting the batch upload receive now several « Error: 1205 Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (10.0.6.41) « Do you think it’s related, I saw that someone already mentionned this error while using GWToolset. Thanks to all for your help.
