Primary cgminer binary download site down. Git repo won't allow downloading of files either right now.

FYI

Down for maintenance yet again. There is an alternate download location listed in the opening post.

Yep. Hence my comment. Git repo says you can't download files of that size right now.

I just clicked on one and downloaded it. Works fine. Choose view raw.

When cg crashes because you may have a card with to low voltage, is there a way to get it working at full speed again without rebooting?  I have a card (7950) that does say 650 KH/s and when it crashes will only do 390 even if rebuild the bin files. Not sure why but it does that and only a reboot helps. My system has a boot password and is remote so restarting is impossible without a hour drive. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

It's a driver crash not a cgminer crash. That it can restart at all is a miracle. No solution, just keep tuning your settings to avoid the crash in the first place.

With the latest cgminer (3.4.1) Windows build, the SOCKS proxy option does not work and is probably broken.
I've setup a local proxy via PuTTY (localhost:9999), and have tried --socks-proxy 127.0.0.1:9999, --socks-proxy localhost:9999, and --socks-proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9999, to no avail.
I verified that it did not work via Wireshark, which found packets being received and transmitted directly to the pool's IP.
Using (pooler's) cpuminer with the proxy option --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9999 works perfectly, with Wireshark not detecting any packets sent to the pool's IP.

Again: Proxies do not work with stratum on cgminer due to me using raw socket code for reliability. You need to use something like proxifier.

... and ...

3.4.1a 3.4.1 recompiled on:
...
Note I have binary folders of ckolivas official release files in my binaries git also, for if you can't get to his downloads
To get them you select the folder (e.g. 3.4.1) then click on the file you want then right-click save-as the "View Raw" link.

Code:

 [2013-08-31 13:54:18] Attempting to restart cgminer 3.4.0

in the log, then the miner slows down to around 1/5th of it's usual speed, the fans start randomly changing speeds, almost no work is produced, and cgminer becomes nearly unresponsive in some cases.

What is going on? I don't see any errors being produced, nothing's overheating. It just randomly 'attempts to restart' and then stops working right.

The only thing that could do that is a message to restart, either via the menu or being told via the API.

I have not been running cgminer with any API options, and it's on a headless rig without any keyboard or mouse even connected, so I can't possibly be hitting any menu options when it happens.

Could this be an instance of a hack or virus??

Is there a mirror server for the modified avalon firmware? It seems http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/avalon is down.

[wirmola]

ck.kolivas.org is down :/ mirror needed

Again, to repeat.
Opening post, mirror of files.

That mirror doesn't contain the compiled avalon firmwares though does it?

I don't have an Avalon so I don't have the binaries ... and I don't want an Avalon either

I do have 20 Avalon chips on a BitBurner USB Miner ... and indeed the BitBurner is very good ...

No compiled Windows version available on the Github mirror..

That is not actually a response to my post, nor does it seem especially relevant.
