connection error in linux

[hastyboomalert]

Hey,
I'm running the submitter client on ubuntu 14.04 and I get connection errors almost constantly.
A typical run would go something like this:

hasty@simplex:~/abzsubmit-0.1$ ./abzsubmit ../Music/

[... ] processing /home/hasty/Music

It will generally process up to 20-ish files before this happens. I have checked the actual connection - at least as far as pinging acousticbrainz.org goes, there are no issues. Also, a windows machine on the same LAN has no problems submitting.

Thanks for reporting this. From a quick search it looks like requests defaults to 0 retries in case of an error. It should be easy to increase this to make it retry. I'm not sure why you might not have problems on windows as opposed to linux.
