Hi.

When I post to tumblr via TJ it sometimes has some errors in the log.

This time it succeed after 8 times trying... but somethimes it works directly and sometimes after 5 times etc.
At the end the images are all posted correctly to Tumblr, so it works good but I was just wondering why it sometimes generates errors and sometimes not.

After trying to upload, tumblr replies back "success" or "failed". If failed it tries again.

As to why, am not sure. I just assumed proxy / network issues.

Oke that would prob be the problem then, I use proxies for every account.

That is probably it. The app should retry X number of times until it succeeds. In my tests, the number is high enough, that as long as the proxy is working to some extent it will get through, but not waste excessive time if the proxy just is not out right working
