Why am I getting these things all the time?
Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle
sometimes they consume considerable time.
Is it my connection or server problems?
Pool is under flooding attack for last two days and those connection problems are related to packet loss cause by this attack. I'm solving that by changing server provider, which has better parameters to handle such attacks (1Gbit unmetered line with strong machines acting as firewalls).
I made first test with new provider yesterday, but it needed some fine tuning. I believe that pool will be switched to new provider during today.
