I'm seeing frequent disconnects, which is probably costing ~5-10% of my hash rate. I'm pretty sure it's not my connection because I don't see this with other pools or hashco.ws. What would be the reason for this?

Code:

Hey I got that issue too. Although my situation isn't exactly the same it was really annoying me until I downloaded CGWatcher. I know this sounds like an advertisement for it, but it lets you manage your settings in the application (intensity, etc) and can restart CGMiner if accepted shares haven't changed in X minutes, which could be something that'd help you.

I realize that in this scenario your disconnects are not as spaced out as mine. If you're getting disconnects over broader periods of time, I'd give CGWatcher a shot. If the disconnects are a minute or 2 apart, I don't know if it'd help. I have it set to restart CGminer if accepted shares haven't changed in 10 or so minutes.

Otherwise I don't know what it could be. I'm not exactly an expert on that, I just found the easy fix for me I guess.
