August 27, 2004
We are currently experiencing a hardware issue with our scheduling server, we expect this issues resolved within the hour. The upgrade to 4.x will start around 11am PDT and will take roughly an hour. Anybody who has any remaining results to report should get them in before the upgrade, after the upgrade you'll need the 4.x clients to report new results, and upgrading to the 4.x client will reset the project on your machine. Roughly 100,000 results are queued up and ready to be sent out after the upgrade, plus the three splitters will be up and running producing work as quickly as possible.

For info: 11h.PDT = 18h.UTC

Greetings from Belgium.

If it is in the transfer tab, you have a bogus WU and this one you shouldn't take care of it.

If it's in the transfer tab then it as been process so therefore it has
been downloaded so it's not a Bogus. The scheduler isn't replying now
and that's why units are not Uploading.

That's just a Guess

Oooh, yes, depends in what condition it is. If it's still downloading, then it is a bogus one, if it is reporting then not.

and other parts are not working? (for more than 20 hours)

How can I install the new 4.0x Client when it is not
downloadable in the download area?

Are they jokeing or am I wrong.

That's a good question. I've got 40 WU's ready to report. Haven't been able to report them for at least three days now. That's nearly 200 hours of work. Don't really know what to do.

I don't know witch download area you're reffering to but
it's not where it should be, At the SETI download page.
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/download.php
From there you can still download the version 3.20 !!!!!

It's not on the main Boinc page either. God.... I think
I'll have a look at download.com. We're having so much fun
here.

I mean exactly this area. When a project jumps to a further version
of software I think the new version should be downloadable on the
project website minimum 1 day before. And as you describe - the actual
version you can download is 3.20.

Should all 60000 active computers download the new version right
after the server is transferred to 4.0x?

They even didn't say what the exact client version will be.
4.02, 4.03, 4.05 ?? Any idea?

I believe the weekend will end in another disaster for seti@boinc ....

Thanks for the link. I will download it - but I'm not sure
if it will be the right version.

Maybe they surprise us with version 4.06?

As far as I am aware after browsing the Boinc IRC channel, the version will be 4.05.

Stranger things have happened ;-)

Thanks. I know I could get it from there. I just wanted to pointed
out how rediculous it is. Is it normal that we have to go on another
project web site to get the SETI updates ? Surely not !
Why is it that they do everything wrong ? I don't know who is the
big boss behind all this but he want CPDN to take over SETI and
that's clear as water.
