Hi People,
I am running multiple PCs at home each with at least 2 HDDs. 1 of the HDDs is meant as a backup for 'more important' files or simply to add more storage. Now my problem is that Wuala can only use space on one partition. This means that I cannot share all the space that I don't need simply because I cannot divide it.
I would love to see an option which allows me to share Folders on different partitions and set a seperate sharing-limit on each of them.
I hope that this is possible and feasible for you to integrate since it would help me a lot!
It would be great if I could grant write access for a particular folder to some friends. Since my friends are not trading storage, they have only 1GB, while I have lots of spare space. Another possibility would be the ability to donate storage capacity to a friend.
Hello Wuala employees,
me and my friends want to use wuala as a storage/share place for our projects.
since we work with videos, we'd probably want to buy storage from you.
The problem is, the user who'd buy would have all the capacity himself, and that's not the intention.
What I aim for is something like a collective storage, shared between our users.
some may need 2GB, others 20GB, etc. so it's not even about splitting it evenly.
I want it as a collective storage. (users are limited by what's left, but cannot use it for their own account)
Perhaps you can base it on a group, so the group members can share the storage, but we may make more groups later.
It's best in my opinion to have a configuration page for the buyer, either in wuala itself (prefs) or your webpage, where s/he can decide how much storage to allocate as "collective storage", and how to split it across chosen groups.
Ofcourse, it doesn't matter how you choose to do it, just that I'd love that feature to happen.
Thanks alot
Hello!
I have 10GB of files already uploaded and 12GB total space (= 2GB free).
When I drag the same files onto Wuala to update them, Wuala quits with error:
"The files you want to insert have a total size of 10GB, but you only have 2GB of free storage left"
How I am supposed to update my files now ??
Expected behavior: Wuala checks that the files already exist and that only the new ones must be updated.
It would be fantastic if it were possible to in addition with the "Local Data Folder" specify other directory's and how much space to share there.
So i could say like Z:\WualaShare\ -- 50GB, X:\WualaShare\ -- 200GB
I have drives that i would like to use exclusively for wuala but you can only specify one location per install. And i don't want my cache on those drives, just traded storage.
Are there any plans to create a Linux client, which can only be used to share storage space for the network? Or is there already such a client? I would like to use my server for that.
Nachdem ich vor einigen Tage einen Bug bei der Speicheranzeige hier ins Forum gepostet hatte (http://getsatisfaction.com/wuala/topi...), musste ich heute leider feststellen, dass dieser noch schlimmer wurde.
Hey guys, I'm trading 10 GB of storage and my online time is at 20%. In Wuala, under tools -> options -> trade storage, it shows "Online storage earned: 2.1 GB but in the bottom right corner of Wuala, it shows "Your Storage: 1 GB".
I've reached the necessary 17% online requirement about 2 days ago and my computer is always connected and running Wuala. It looks like this is a bug.
I have a couple of machines earning storage for Wuala, and the storage earned total doesn't match what each instance reports.
The reason my "File Sizes" exceed the Quota is due to an unnoticed crash of 3 of my headless storage earning nodes, downing their uptime, and thus their contributed storage.
All the following are running linux, and are online 24/7
Quota: 148 GB
File Sizes: 163 GB
Base: 1 GB
Friend earned: 7 GB
Node earned: 139 GB
Given: 1 GB
Content use: 38 MB
List use: 163 GB
Earned: Earned: 139 GB from 10 different nodes
Purchased: 0 B in 0
Computer1: (32bit arch, running gui) tradeStats
Average online time: 75.00%
Current limit: 100 GB
Last update: 14:16
Locally stored data (according to the other users): 36 GB
Earned storage: 75 GB
Earned storage is split among 1 users of this computer
Computer2: (64bit arch, running without gui) tradeStats
Average online time: 41.00%
Current limit: 100 GB
Last update: 2:20 PM
Locally stored data (according to the other users): 6.8 GB
Earned storage: 28 GB
Earned storage is split among 1 users of this computer
Computer3: (32bit arch, running gui) tradeStats
Average online time: 34.00%
Current limit: 100 GB
Last update: 14:17
Locally stored data (according to the other users): 4.9 GB
Earned storage: 17 GB
Earned storage is split among 1 users of this computer
Computer4: (32bit arch, headless, running without gui) tradeStats
Average online time: 40.00%
Current limit: 100 GB
Last update: 14:18
Locally stored data (according to the other users): 6.7 GB
Earned storage: 26 GB
Earned storage is split among 1 users of this computer
This alone adds up to 75+28+17+26 = 146 GB, instead of the reported 139 (from 10 nodes)
pasting wuala -nogui's output seems the best way to me to describe the problem:
Wuala>version
Version Linux v105
Wuala>tradeStats
Average online time: 21.00%
Current limit: 2 GB
Last update: 3:48 PM
Locally stored data (according to the other users): 1.6 GB
Earned storage: 434 MB
Earned storage is split among 1 users of this computer
Wuala>showQuota
Quota: 2 GB
File Sizes: 24 MB
Base: 1 GB
Friend earned: 1 GB
Node earned: 0 B
Given: 0 B
Content use: 2.4 MB
List use: 22 MB
Earned: Earned: 0 B from 0 different nodes
Why does "tradeStats" ("Earned storage: 434 MB") still differ to "showQuota" ("Node earned: 0 B") even 17%-limit was hit a few days ago? Is it a bug or a feature? ;-)
br,
Kristof
P.S. #1: Client has been restarted a few times over the last week.
P.S. #2: Windows-client on a different machine neither mentions the earned storage by the Linux-node (Windows-client has been restarted a few times as well).
P.S. #3: My Wuala-username is Korwisi.
It would be nice to be able to pre allocate shared storage space, to avoid file system fragmentation. Even if this method allocated large blocks of space, like 1 gb at a time, it would still reduce the fragmentation.
i have loose setting and dir of my wuala ,after the crash and naturally restart vista wuala have set defaul parameters.
result i loose my avarage time,the stored file from other client (~1 gb)because was stored in an other harddisk
only my earned gb (4,2) are still there but i have restart from 10% on line avarege time..
i must wait many days now to recover my status
Under "Trade Storage" in the Options window, the average online time is not not updated until you save the options. This means to check your average online time you need to open the options windows, save the options (which closes the window), and open the window a second time. It was also extremely confusing as a new user because I never saw my online time increasing, which made me frustrated because I thought I'd never hit the 17% needed to share storage.
Client on one device and other storage
I've downloaded the client on my Mac. I have a PC at home with a bunch of space I can trade with. That machine is on all the time.
I'm not sure I understand how I can do this under the banner of one login/sign up, etc.
hi there, i wanted to post the official question about what the exact technical requirements and capabilites of network access for wuala are, to allow wuala become a supernode, or a client node and all this techstuff information.
some of my wuala clients only become storage nodes (supernode capability false, and mediated over ip/node .....)
i wonder what the exact technical requirements for the networkconnection of wuala are and if this could be made more transparent to the userbase (documentation).
all of my clients run on highcapacity broadband nodes, but none of the wuala clients run directly on the external ip-address/interface visible to the external inet.
some wuala clients run via a upnp-capable internetgateway, others have normal portforwaring set up properly. all wuala client connections result in a good/green connection. all nodes exchange and host/trade storage.
so far it seems as if supernodecapability was somehow related to upnp-ed connection (or maybe direct inet connection without any firewall/restrictions).
i am wondering if this could be enhanced or why portforwarded wuala clients wont become supernodes.
