Hi, Mr.Claymore
Please, make the "-minspeed" option understand, that there is no internet connection, so it doesn't actually mine. So, the reason of hitting "-minspeed" limit is not a hardware issue. So, I don't want the miner restarts (reboot the PC) in this case. You understand, that it triggers all other signaling like e-mail/messages "I have to reboot", "I have been rebooted" and so on from every miner affected.
I guess that there are people who need the opposite from what you describe (they need the -minspeed to get triggered from internet connection loss). I am not one of them but I am sure that there are cases where that makes sense.
I agree with you though on what you are saying. I would modify your request like this:
"Please add a flag that indicates whether internet connection loss will trigger -minspeed"

Ok I will add an option in next update so you can set if "-minspeed" should work if miner cannot reach pools or not.

Yes, the default behavior is exactly how i use this flag.

I am one of the users that suffer from the already reported problem:
Every 2- 3 days my internet connection drops and reconnects after 5 minutes.
After reconnection the cards work at a lower speed than normal almost half speed.
I can easily reproduce it with just unplugging and replugging the Ethernet cable.
Only solution was for me to manually close the miner and reopen it to regain full speed.

"-minspeed" option provided me a solution and when the internet reconnected, the miner detects the lower speed and restarts by itself and regains full speed.

If Claymore needs it, i can provide a video clip with this issue or whatever info he needs.

Thanks for development efforts either way!
