Converter not working for 2MB files or larger

[camhawk]

Hi @FXDREEMA-0

I'm trying to use the converter and my file has just gone over 2MB. Now it won't allow me to convert and shows an error message that the "website is busy right now".

When I reduce the file size to 1.99MB is works fine.

I've tried it several times and it consistently works with 1.99 and lower and not with 2MB and higher.

So, I'm guessing there is some kind of restriction in place.

Are you able to increase the converter's file size restriction, ideally to 5MB?

Are you also able to give an indication when you think this enhancement might be released?

Many thanks!

@camhawk Did you ask for permission to the admin for your commercial signature? If not, please remove it until you get it.

He said I could advertise on the forum many years ago. It was the old forum before this one. I've only just now done something about it. Happy to remove it if he's changed his mind.

Cam, care to do another looping tutorial?

Probably best to keep this forum post on topic. Send me an email or DM and I'll let you know where I'll address this

Actually the limit is far bigger than 2MB. I just tested a file that is 2.56MB and what I see is that it tries to convert it, the CPU goes high (which it not good), but it takes too much time to spit the result back and eventually it reaches timeout (I think its 30 seconds). On my local PC it succeedes, but it takes more than 11 seconds, and my CPU is quite good (i7-9700). Another file that is 1.74MB converted for 5 seconds on my local PC, and for 15 seconds on the server.

Right now not only I can't raise the amount of bytes, it seems that I should limit them to lower than 2MB. It seems that the speed of conversion is exponentially worse the bigger the file is. I will check what makes it so slow, but this code is kinda complicated and I'm not sure that I will be able to easily fix it.

About the links, I don't mind if they link to something good. When I made this website, initially I put links to it in 2-3 forums, so I understand that. If something is an obvious scam... no, thanks. I know both of you of you, Cam and l'andorrà, as people who have their own courses, and both of you know that I'm kinda like "Yeah, whatever, do what you want". Although I looked at Cam's link and it's not for me personally (I don't like those clocks and stuff), no one ever wrote to me saying that he is doing something bad.

@fxdreema well said about the links, thank you!

I found 2 problems responsible for the slow convert and another problem that caused the data in the output file to be corrupted. I think it's all fixed now.

Awesome, many thanks!

I cleared my cached and it worked fine

I also thought I should go through the whole process to make sure it all works, which for me is importing the .mq5 to FxDreema and exporting it as a .ex5. The import worked fine but the export to .ex5 hung on "Processing..." with the red "Website too busy message". I tested it with a smaller project and it worked fine. So, I'm not sure it this is related to the fix, or if it's just a temporary thing?

I'll see if it's still doing this tomorrow and let you know if it is, as it may be related bug.
