HI

I'm behind a proxy, and can't run the build in benchwell scene because it won't download. Is there a manual download link somewhere?

Regards

Not possible.

Imho it is a bit much care taken around this BM.

I have a many machines offline the internet for net render, and i find it a pitty that i can't benchmark them.

Could we get ip&port? Would help punching secure holes in the external firewalls.

I'm behind a proxy

in case you can modify the proxy, setting it to transparent might help.

Did you check C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Maxwell\benchwell ?

.. dumb me was always looking for an mxs

thnx.

edit* hmm... looked ok at first, but "cannot validate benchwell scene" comes up after a while without internet connection

Hi

Mihai: There is just an empty folder called "bench" there.

If someone could pm/dropbox/ or email me the scene I'd be very grateful!

Best regards

Hi again

I can't do anything to the proxy I'm afraid. And there is no other network I could go on (it's on the render farm, stationary computers behind corporate firewall and proxy, no wireless networks around).

I have the bench.dat-file now, but where should I put it? It still tries to download and fails.

Regards

Now I get a different error message:

[Mihai]

Then I'm afraid it still needs an internet connection to check that the file is valid etc. We'll consider adding an offline mode for the benchwell test in the future.

[bjorn.syse]

Ah, crap, I see.

Thanks though.

Or you could add a setting with support for proxy servers, much like the Material editor has. With that one I can connect to the material gallery through the proxy.

How about a standalone one click benchmark like cinebench. Maybe without a direct upload option to the benchwell page to avoid a complete mess of the list...
It would really be nice if benchwell could become another standart test for CPU reviews.

I agree the data needs to be better filtered and presented than currently. It's on the todo list
