Got a SSL error
then gateway time out 502

Did a speedtest yesterday for the first time in a while, and got 50Mb/s on my 750Mb/s service. I repeated it a few times with different servers same 50Mb/s. Rebooted my router and it came good.
So my question is what would cause that to happen.

find . -type f -mtime -7

will list files that have changed over the last 7 days.

all 41092 of them.

Will have to do that after I install a plugin

Apparently
find . -mmin -10
works in Linux to find files changed over 10 minutes but not in Gargoyle.

So copying everything to a computer using WinSCP, then copying it all back, once router was in a usable state could work? Maybe after deleting everything first? What about changing the create backup file to backup all the root folders and subsequently all the files in them. Wouldn't restoring the b...

A much more clean suggestion, learn the build environment and customise your own build to have the plugins you want pre installed and the modifications pre-done as well. You could even have your network preconfigured etc etc. Love to be able to do that, no idea how to though. With the backup idea, ...

A further thought was wonder how you make a custom sysupgrade file. Which is where Lantis post may be lea...

I have posted a question about another idea in the feature requests section.
