537 - How to limit the number of concurrent auto updates and throttle their speed

Symptom

The auto update process takes a long time to complete. 

Cause

If multiple auto update requests are received at the same time (perhaps due to a large number of backups completing simultaneously), the AccountServer's connection could be flooded, resulting in slow downloads.

Solution

There are two solutions to this problem:

1. Limit the number of concurrent auto updates
   1. On the AccountServer, navigate to the AccountServer's Settings.xml file (default location on Windows Server 2008: C:\ProgramData\Attix5 Pro\AS_Service).
   2. Update the following setting to limit how many concurrent auto updates can take place:
      <maxconcurrentclientupdates>10</maxconcurrentclientupdates>
      Note: The default is 10 concurrent auto updates.
2. Throttle the speed of auto update downloads
   1. On the AccountServer, navigate to the AccountServer's Settings.xml file (default location on Windows Server 2008: C:\ProgramData\Attix5 Pro\AS_Service).
   2. Update the following setting to throttle any auto update downloads: 
      <maxclientupdatespeed>0</maxclientupdatespeed>
      Notes:
      1. 0 is the default and means there is no limit.
      2. The setting is in bytes.
