Hello, new and have some questions - Bandwidth and Sharing

Does the list of your files dissapear every time you reload the wallet?
-
No, that is not supposed to happen. What do you mean by 'reloading' the wallet? Opening and closing the Sia UI? Locking/unlocking the wallet?

Definitely not, unless you've opened Sia from a different folder or have deleted some things. (or maybe you found a bug)
-
Ok will check it out further. I closed the Sia GUI, but it seems the daemon is one in the same, and when I re-opened, my wallet was locked (expected), but my files list was cleared, will try a few things to see about it.
-
Is it possible that you are not giving the program enough time to load? On slower computers (especially HDD computers), Sia can take multiple minutes to load. Before it has finished loading, the UI will be blank and will not show any files. (we are reducing load times as one of the primary goals of 0.5.0)
-
Yeah my PC has an i5 4670k and 16gb of ram, it never loaded overnight or when reloading the app. But anyways I'm trying to get the .sia file so I can store the link to my backups tangibly on my desktop but all I can get is the Hashed code for it, and that text box won't close.
I may be using an old version XP, I'm on windows and didn't compile it myself.
-
Can you post a screenshot?
The version number on the 'about' page should read '0.4.8'.
It's possible that one of the files corrupted, I was having trouble with that earlier (though I run unstable versions of our software)
-
I cant add photos here, but the error says Error 500 Internal Server Error Upload Failed: Rename renter*.... The process cannot .... And it doesnt show it all in the gui client. I think thats why my SIA hash code won't bring my files back after reloading the wallet, and also why it isnt there when I reload anyway.
Do I need to forward some ports? I'm being charged for the uploads..
-
You definitely don't need to forward ports to upload. This is something that @nemo can help you with, I'll make sure he sees this thread
-
Hard to diagnose without the full error message -- the next release should log these error messages in their entirety somewhere. My best guess is that the Rename operation is failing when the .sia files is saved. Check your renter folder for .sia files.
