I think for most practical purposes, you can add Orbit to that list, too.

Einstein looks like it was hit harder than originally thought. The front page message is still the same more than 24 hours later.

Since SETI is sending me work, along with Seti Beta, CPDN and Beta, and Pirates again, my machines stay busy.

My movie https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/502242

I was wondering why my laptop's fan wasn't running this morning (usually does when I run boinc).. sigh.. maybe something's happening in the cosmos that caused all the space projects to go down? :P

I googled milkyway and got to the sever status page. They have problems too.

MANY projects are down at the moment:

This shows the benefit of using BOINC. When a project goes down, you can just run another project so that your system(s) is/are never idle.

I recall the original SETI classic days when such things were just not possible. How we suffered;-)

Milkyway is back up, but still struggling to get work out to all the hungry machines.

How about the Domino Theory?

The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's

I've switched to CPDN on one machine. That will keep it busy for a week. Huge downloads.

GPUgrid is the only other thing, but not all my machines are cuda capable. The i7 is sitting around just doing cuda.

I think that if we all switch projects that it makes the other ones crash, seems more than a coincidence that so many projects went down.

Heck, I have uploads from Cosmo, Einstein and Milkyway sitting here. BOINC will just retry, do not worry about it. As soon as they're back, BOINC will upload them.

But it will only retry for 2 weeks, after that it will toast them.

Just a little nonsense I knocked up tonight...

All was quiet on the farm.
Not a mouse was stirring or a fan whirring.
There was a drought.
Not a work unit about.
“None to be had here” said Seti. Word was out that Thumper had gout.
Einstein had disappeared.
Orbit had nought.
The only work to be had required a GPU.

Einstein@home website:
UPDATE:
Mon Mar 30 03:08:36 UTC 2009

The filesystem problems were worse than originally thought and repairs have taken significantly
longer. Hopefully E@H will start to come online again by 17:00 Monday UTC but if that does not
happen more news will be posted here at that time.


Thank you for your patience.

Reminds me that I don't have to report every WU immediately.

During browsing berkeley's homepage I came along this statement that makes me say:
"ME!, ME!, ME!, wants to know, what patch was used and is it available for windows?"

there has been an update to the message at the top level of the Einstein website. The new portion reads:

The site is still not otherwise responding as I type this

A sign of life at Einstein.

A couple of WU's have uploaded, and are now in the queue to be reported. :-)

The web site is now reporting unavailable, so they must be in the process of rebooting systems.

Really? I don't recall ever hearing about a time limit on pending uploads.

All my Einstein WU's have been uploaded! After having had some difficulties, I've been able to report them too.

My bionic does not request more work from SETI, but it will from others..

I've edited my setting to request 10 days of work, up from 7.5, which made no difference.

Am I missing something?

Probably your long-term debt is far out of balance, so BOINC thinks it should give SETI a rest so that lhcat can catch up toward its fair share.

Yes. It applies to both uploads and downloads, part of the persistent file transfer backoff mechanism.

#define PERS_GIVEUP (60*60*24*7*2) // 2 weeks

                                                                Joe

Thank you Joe...I was not aware of that mechanism in Boinc.
