I predict that 4000000 will arrive in the next 24 - 48 hours.

I got 3001110 on 6 Jan 2007, so that will be over 1000000 new host ids created in less than 1 year.

Highest that I have seen so far is 3992239

[EDIT]
I've been checking and we are now up to 3992377 Created 13 Nov 2007 1:33:47 UTC

If I remember correctly, there was one user whose computer erroneously produced new host IDs at a very fast rate (one every few seconds), so the increase of host IDs does not necessarily mean that so many new hosts were attached to the project.

I agree, there are many, many hosts like this. While I have been doing my search for the highest id, I have found a few names with lots of hosts carrying just 1 WU. I also spotted a few names who seem to be trying to get that 4000000 spot!

This one http://setiathome.berkeley.edu//hosts_user.php?userid=2595&show_all=1&sort=id is particularly worthy of mention!! Warning That page takes a long time to load.

Some of those new hosts could be the result of problems with the project.

Take this one for instance:NET-2

Had to uninstall boinc, clean system & reinstall. On my account, it had 2 NET-2's, so merged them which provided a new host reference.

I'm sure they are, I gave you a mention as I spotted your name against a new recent hostid.

The one that I saw which seems to have a serious problem is http://setiathome.berkeley.edu//show_user.php?userid=2595 Wayne State College, which has created over 700 new hostids in the last 30 days, with 0 results each.

That is weird. Just looked & they have no tasks downloaded. When I reinstalled mine, it downloaded 6 wu's almost instantly.

Have you noticed that most are Linux boxes? I'm not a linux pro so I have no idea what may be going on. However, I dug a bit further down the link of hosts and see one created on the 12th that seems to be running a 4.43 boinc client. Maybe someone could PM this group of users to figure out what is going on?

As it is a college, I think they probably have a room full of machines with similar spec which get new id's every time they are re-booted.

Most, but not all, the new id's that get created are:

CPU type GenuineIntel Pentium III (Katmai)
Operating System Linux 2.6.16

I thought about sending a PM, but have not done so yet.

[EDIT]
I just noticed that the few machines they have which are getting credit are mostly using old versions of BOINC:

4.19, 4.43, 4.45, 5.4.9
However at least 1 is running 5.10.20

Has anyone sent a PM to the owners?
There are currently 3248 computer id's on this account and new ones nearly by the minute.

Not done one yet, but I may do so after the weekly outage, which is due very soon.

This user http://setiathome.berkeley.edu//hosts_user.php?userid=8481345 seems to have a lot of computers with only 1 WU each. Some of the recent ones have completed at least one task, so I'm not sure if he has a problem or not.

This one is practically 9 months older than me & I have 6 hosts with a TC of nearly 90K & an rac of 1,400.

Surely with 398 hosts,his totals should at least be 65 times mine?

There has to be a problem with the project surely?

398 in the last 30 days, if you look at All computers he has over 1600.

But the majority of them with no tasks or credit. Surely all these non-productive hosts are taking up space on the servers!
