Best indicator is "Current server load (60 sec average):" on stats page. It is usually around 800-1000rq/s. When it fall to 50 or something, then server is down ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . good to know, thx

So... I was actually right when I said I was really unlucky to start mining and the server to go down immediately after that yesterday? and apparently today too. It's not you it's the server. See the part where it says I saw that but I thought maybe it's just a bug or something, because I was also getting alot of "Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC", I didn't expect the server to be down for maintenance right when I started mining. Then I played with bypassing the router and port fw and GUIMiner started working, by coincidence apparently. Heh... It would be nice to have a "server online/offline" on the website.

turning on port fw doesn't fix the problem

Thanks for your replies. You don't need any port forwarding. Please write me exact times when you see 'server down for maintenance', I'll search logs. I have disabled port forwarding and everything seems fine now. Does GUIMiner save logs somewhere so I can tell you the exact time or should I wait until it happens again (if) and take a note of it? I only mine during the day, so maybe only tomorrow.

Hello bitcoin world.
I have no experience to this whole bitcoin thing, so I'm as noob as you can get. I've started mining only yesterday and it's going almost great. I have one problem though, which I may have fixed on my own but I just wanted to check with you guys.
My problem is that while mining with GUIMiner (latest version), after a few minutes I was getting a lot of connection problems and "server down for maintenance". At first I thought that I was just unlucky but then I connected my pc directly to the modem, bypassing the router, and it connected with no problems. After a bit of searching today I've configured my router (netgear) to trigger port range 8332 to 8338 (the second one was just a guess, the first number I got using Tcpview.exe to see where the program was trying to connect). In the end this seems to have done it. What range exactly should I forward (if any)?
But I am no expert when it comes to networks and configuring port triggering and all this stuff. I don't even know if what I did helped or it works now just by coincidence.
also, what's the normal % of stale/invalid shares? I seem to get about 1%. 2nd: I got my key (wallet thingy) by installing the official bitcoin program which showed a "your Bitcoin Address" And I used that in the "My account" page. Is that ok?
Thanks
