Tyler,

Look at the creation-times.  Are they evenly distributed or bunched?

If I use the following feed pattern [upstream = idd@wisc and bigbird@tamu]:

request WMO
"((WF|WO|WU|WR|WW|WG|AC|NW)US)|^S[AP]|^S[NS]|^WT(PZ|PN|PA|NT)|(^S[IMN]V[^GINS])|(^S[IMN]W[^KZ])|(^S(HV|HXX|S[^X]))|(^SX(VD|V.50|US(2[0-3]|08|40|82|86)))|(^Y[HO]XX84)|^A
CUS11|/p(FTM|FWDDY)" upstream.server.edu

the data seems to flow down to me in "chunks". What I mean by this is that
is when I run 'ldmadmin watch' I see no data for between 4 and 10 minutes.
Then all of a sudden the last 4-10 minutes worth of data comes down within
a 3 second period. It then holds again...and 4-10 minutes later another
payload of data comes down...etc...etc.

If the *ONLY* thing I change is the feed pattern to:

request WMO ".*" upstream.server.edu

The data feed runs normal.

I'm confused! I, and the upstream, have bandwidth to burn so I'm leaving
the feed as ".*"...my pattern was attempting to conserve bandwidth for the
upstream providers but it seems I did more harm than good.

I havent totally verified this issue but it seems to be the culprit. Can
anybody confirm?
