Mine have uploaded ok. Yeah, but these were downloads True and they aren't ghosts either. Same number of units on the web as in the manager for the machine. I've plenty of work so I'm not in a panic. Just concerned if it got wide spread. A zero length might be a splitter problem. Oh uploads are working from the same machine so it isn't a communication issue. Anyone know how long BOINC will re-try before it finally gives up trying to fetch them? ID: 910652 ·

Cricket graph does not look health perhaps the server needs looking at. Now waiting for three downloads just wait and see what happens again. I know it is normally difficult after Tuesday, just thought I would let you know what I am getting. Times here are UTC+1 ID: 910676 ·

Everything else though is a problem at Seti. The system started to come up back up after the outage, then it fell over. Heavily. Grant Darwin NT ID: 910677 ·

Then why as I did nothing did I get connect failed messages from then onwards and an upload weird isn't it. Not really. Whatever the glitch was with your computer/modem/ISP/whatever resolved iitself before the next attempt to communicate with the project. Uploas are still working, but contacting the Scheduler isn't possible & any downloads presently allocated won't download. Grant Darwin NT ID: 910682 ·

One of my machines is completely out of work - no tasks at all - and the other is not getting any new ones. This project seems to have caught a LOT of Gremlins lately. I came back after a lengthy hiatus with a couple of 8-core machines to do Seti, but I am getting very frustrated with all the recent outages. Can't anybody fix this? PLEASE! ID: 910683 ·

Can't anybody fix this? PLEASE! It's normal for the servers to be down for a few hours of a Tuesday for maintenance. And it's not unusual for other problems to occur from time to time. That's why it's possible to maintain a cache. I've got a 4 day cache & have only run out of work a couple of times since Seti moved to BOINC (4, 5 years ago?). And even then the longest period of time without work was a few hours. So the servers not being up 24/7 isn't a problem that needs fixing. Grant Darwin NT ID: 910684 ·

I too posted something today well two messages and they have disappeared having trouble downloading again. Mainly connect failed or expecting and got zero I had to shut down my 2nd (8-core) cruncher because no work is being sent. Ya know, I came back to SETI because I got an email, and built 2 octocore machines to process WUs...seems like a waste right now. Why can't these probs be fixed? Is the h/w too old and flaky? Is the s/w inadequate for the load? In particular, is mysql strong enough? Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks! ID: 910707 ·
