Looks like Matt's steel toe has done the job again......as for this weekend...(shudders).....

Yes Joker, I know that, Seti was my main project, but i started Einstein to see if i have the same problem, it seems einstein project give to me the right error, seti did not want to say any error, just this:

The fact that You're reporting about the servers at Einstein having trouble is interesting, But shouldn't You have mentioned It there and not here? As It has nothing to do with the Seti Servers to which this thread is dedicated. As mentioning It here is kinda useless to a staff that's only concerned with Seti and maybe Boinc.

Dunno why, but I will say it one more time: I had problem with seti@home !!! who did not gave me a proper error to solve the problem, as a test i started eintein project, lucky me, who has a proper error implementation.
So, problem solved for me, want to discuss more, drop a private.
Happy crunching !

The fact that You're reporting about the servers at Einstein having trouble is interesting

The Einstein servers do not have problems with giving out work, but crome has problems getting it until he changes the amount of free disk space on the drive his BOINC is on. It all says it in his messages. :-)

Is anybody else having a problem downloading WU's? I can upload and such just fine.

Yes. The HTTP service on one of the download servers (208.68.240.13) has gone on strike. I thought it might be related to the access problems our German colleagues were having, so I reported it there.

The Einstein servers do not have problems with giving out work, ...

but the SETI servers have problems giving out error messages.

Since SETI is notoriously the testbed for new server versions, and Einstein is comparatively conservative by comparison, is this a sign of things to come in BOINC-land? Guess your own error message?

Goodafternoon, ladies and gentlemen ,
Yes, EINSTEIN is fine, concerning UPloading, it takes some time, before ready to send WU's, get's UPloaded. No BIG deal.
Matt has explained that in his last post, or the one before, Technical Thread.
Sometimes I have hundreds off ready to WU's, waitin to UPLOAD, or they 'say'[i]uploading,but nothing happens. When I looked @ the SERVER state, most off the time the download server (BRUNO), was DISABLED, meaning, probably someone there, who's going to kick it ;).

---

Matt just PM'd me to say that he's just kicked the offending download server.

So now there's a massive spike in downloads, and I can't get my uploads through the noise....

Some days you just can't win. But thanks anyway, Matt.

Yeah - when one dam breaks, everything floods over. After kicking the one download server we hit our network bandwidth limit, so all servers are currently gasping for air (or bits, or whatever...).

Keep trying. The bandwidth is just maxxed right now. It will ease up soon enough.

Looks like the worst of the backlog is over now - all my downloads have cleared.

So could anyone with continuing stalled downloads - especially if you're running a recent BOINC v6.2.18 or v6.2.19 - help me with a bit of testing before you restart BOINC, please?

Could you make a cc_config.xml file to debug HTTP transfers - this should do it:

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>
<http_debug>1</http_debug>
</log_flags>
</cc_config>

Put it in the BOINC (data) folder, and read it in by going to advanced view, advanced menu, 'read config file'. Then retry one of the stalled downloads, and have a look in the messages tab.

I'm interested in the IP address that BOINC tries to reach when it retries a failed download. For SETI, it should be 208.68.240.13 or 208.68.240.18: but I've found three machines today which were trying 13.240.68.208 or 18.240.68.208 - i.e. the IP numbers were in reverse order.

All of mine were on BOINC v5.10.13, which won't interest the developers - but we should try and find out if the bug is still present in current versions. Feel free to contribute in the DNS caching.... thread on the BOINC Development message board - there are examples there of the sort of output I'm looking for.

Thanks.

Try an ipconfig /flushdns .. that worked for me.

Thanks.
I had to go to work, and by the time i'd got back Mat had sorted the server out & everything else had sorted itself out.

Disk space problems again?
The Ready to Send Queue dropped down to zero for quite some time before the splitters picked up the pace. And now there must be another load of short Work Units going out as even at more than 20 results per second the buffer isn't growing.
