Message 12495 - Posted: 26 Jul 2004, 23:03:50 UTC

I have been experiencing this:
Started download of user_logo_1088184658
Temporarily failed download of user_logo_1088184658
Backing off 2 hours, 24 minutes, and 21 seconds
on transfer of file user_logo_1088184658
And it just gets into an endless cycle of
backing off on transfer...any solution to
backing off on communicaton with server?
More concerned for my linux box at home
since she crunches faster than Windows.
Can someone give me a heads up as to what is
going on?

I run RH9 at home and Windows98SE at work.
Both 100% BOINC/SETI2

Both connections PPP over Ethernet.
BroadBand is a luxury in China I
cannot afford at the moment.
If this was an inappropiate post for
this board, apologies in advance. Thnx

Finite work supply
Each work unit is now processed a limited number of times (typically three). When we have no work for your computer, you'll get a 'no work available' message. We encourage you to participate in other BOINC-based projects; then, when SETI@home has no work, your computer can stay busy doing other scientific research.

Or the project is down...

Finite Work Supply

Bah!!! I am in it for the money.

Sometimes if a supporting file is corrupted it will lock up that project. If that is what has happend to you you will need to do a project reset to get it going again. On the other hand if it is just delayed due to server problems a reset will make matters worse.

Check with top or taskmanager and if you have seti filling up the CPU just wait.

mine did the same routine on both machines but with a "Temporarily failed download of 13ja04aa.11634.31506.529844.139" (rather than a "user_logo_999")...assumed it was high traffic at the time but it seem to clear itself up and now have work for a few days - but I'm also on high speed constant connect and just had to sit and let it do its thing...you can force it to try an update before the time is up (projects tab, right click seti, update)...


Crockett did not go down like they lead us to believe...when will the powers that be learn that the truth is not just as good, it's better.

Keck..strange thing is I can WU's, process, and upload is fine.
It's just the user_logo_XXXXXXXXXXXX that has me puzzled.

PC...Thnx...Like I told Keck, I can get WU's, maybe you and Keck are right,
high traffic, server very busy. My connect is PPPoE....which I keep up and
running day and night...I remember when I was still living in America had
a comcast cable connect,sure miss that now !!! but love living in China...
Thanks again PC...

Pascal....the problem is definitely not a work unit shortage prob.
