System reboot broke hosting?
-
Been hosting for awhile with no issues, had over 500 contacts and was gathering more daily. Last weekend I decided to update the iMac I was hosting from, all told client was down less than 5 minutes to reboot and get everything back up. Upon coming back online the number of active contracts dropped in half to around 275 and now if I get one new contract a day I'm lucky. I've adjusted host parameters with no luck, verified ports, nothing seems to help, it's like restarting the Sia-UI killed it's ability to host even though everything is in the green. I've had a couple of download calls and a ton of settings calls but no other calls. I've reannounced with no luck and o haven't been on SiaHub since I rebooted which I was listed on there since the first day I started. I want to reinstall Sia-UI but I don't want to screw up my existing contracts. If I restore via seed will that all sync back up?
The other thing I've noticed is that a lot of the time it says I'm not connected to peers but if I run consensus it says I'm fully synced and then goes back to green on the peer link.
Any insight?
Any way to transfer my host to another computer without losing existing contacts?
Thanks, any insight is appreciated.

I've experienced a bit of the same. SIA hosting client is very vulnerable and keeps track of its links to your files via a set of JASON files.
The Seed will not restore your contracts - you would have to back up the Json files - please search for that in the forum - tjhere is quite some dialog on it.
The seed will recover any funds in your wallet.
