To all users of poclbm miner: Please update to current version, it fixes some bugs in handling HTTP connections, which improve overall performance.
To all users of phoenix miner: Please update from version older than 1.5 to current version 1.5, it fixes some network issues and help network performance, too.
Slush I must congratulate you on the pool's recent performance. Ever since you recovered from that ddos attack the pool has been remarkably stable and reliable. It was stable before too but recently I noticed absolutely no disconnects or downtime whatsoever.
Just noticed this post about upgrading to phoenix 1.5 - almost done upgrading all my miners. It may help btw to post a notice at the top of the members page or on the site for the people that do not visit this thread.
