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.
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,

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.
I wasn't able to find an official answer or thread for that matter concerning the amount of earned storage being based on "Locally stored data" as opposed to the "Current limit". I'm not sure I want to allow Wuala to use 40gb of my hard drive for 1gb of earned online storage and I don't see it changing over the course of the month I've used Wuala. Is there a plan regarding this matter?
What is the difference between these settings?
If I set "local cache size" to 2GB and "limit storage usage to" (in trading options) to 10 GB, does it work?
Or are they two independent settings?
