From Ireland , if the issue is with a particular akamai or google network cache.

I know my ISP does not use proxies ...but does boinc :) ?

You are currently better off with 6.2.19 unless you have the hardware to and want to run CUDA.

6.4.6 has a lot of fixes towards a stable screen saver, John.

All right, last night during the upload something went wrong with the upload of 6.4.6 which may have caused it not to propagate to all download mirrors yet. So the one from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php may be broken.

However, the one on the actual download site can be reached and is OK. I just tested it.

So if you have a problem with the download, get 6.4.6 from here:
BOINC 6.4.6 Windows 32bit
BOINC 6.4.6 Windows 64bit

It is probably wise to delete your temporary internet files before downloading the new one, just in case.

Yes, but it still has a rather broken work fetch and CPU scheduler.

I see that the recommended version is now back to 6.4.5. Must have been a lot of problems.

---

No, that's because the version on the download page kept being corrupt. The developer will build 6.4.7 and release that later on.

---

6.4.6 must have been one hot build

News:*
February 27, 2009
We have rolled back to 6.4.5 for our latest stable version until 6.4.7 can be built. Something happened to 6.4.6 on our mirrors.



BTW.

Why work the devs on the V6.4.x ?

Why they don't work on the V6.6.x to reach the final stable version?


I think the work fetch is 'broken' in < V6.6.2 so the rig don't get the cache which is set in preferences..?!
I used V6.4.5 and my rig didn't asked for work for 4 days.
I pressed 'update' no request.
Then I took V6.5.0, 'update' and I get ~ 20 WUs.
Then I took V6.6.5 'update' and since then BOINC want to fill up the cache.** But can't. Because of the past probs 'no jobs available' and now since some days, after nearly every work request the rig get only 1 WU.
So he must ask and ask again, for one new WU. *confused* So the serverload is maybe 'house made' at Berkeley? Is there an other prob also?

Sometimes the rig get max. 20 WUs, not more for one request.


[* posted upper here also, but now with url.. ;-)]

EDIT:
[** not continuously. Mostly only 2 times if he get 2 times '0' WUs. If he get always 1 new WU, he ask so long until he get 2 times '0' WUs. And then larger pause from ~ 2 to 10 hours. Then start a new 'request period'.]

EDIT #2: [for repetition..]
But with V6.6.5 BOINC ask always for new work, if I press 'update'.
With V6.4.5 and V6.5.0 I pressed 'update' and BOINC didn't asked.

EDIT #3:
..to give an example for the '1 WU work requests'..

Uhh.. I think in the future I need to finish my post with this note.. ;-D

Now I guess, maybe BOINC V6.6.5 have a little BUG?

Maybe he ask every time only for 1 sec. of new work?!

How it's possible that BOINc show in the messages how much sec. he ask for?
In older versions he told it..


Maybe:

<rr_simulation>
Results of the round-robin simulation used by CPU scheduler and work-fetch.

<sched_op_debug>
Details of scheduler RPCs; also shows deferral intervals and other low info.

<work_fetch_debug>
Work fetch policy decisions.

Or other entries?


The cc_config must look like this?

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<work_fetch_debug>1</work_fetch_debug>
</log_flags>
<options>
<ncpus>6</ncpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

[incl. simulation of more CPUs [GPUs]]
