I've got my archive_interval set to 300 seconds which activates the FTP upload to my web site every 5 minutes. All is well with my Davis V2P station and all data is transferred to the web site. The problem is that during the FTP upload, which takes about 40 seconds, all other web site access is stopped. The download of the Weewx page takes only one second or less, however, during the FTP upload all download activity stops, not just the Weewx data.
Example: Trying to download a recipe from my wife's subdomain on the site stops.
With the interval set for FTP upload for every 5 minutes minus 40 seconds of downtime after each interval, my website is effectively down for 13 to 15% of the time. Not good.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Of course I could set the interval for every half hour or hour, but that would negate the idea of having somewhat real time weather data.
