My team in unable to send any work from 3 days. What's wrong ? We can download work, but not send the results. here are the messages : 06/07/2009 10:06:37 SETI@home Temporarily failed upload of 06dc08ad.24531.8252.7.8.97_1_0: connect() failed 06/07/2009 10:06:37 SETI@home Backing off 1 hr 25 min 2 sec on upload of 06dc08ad.24531.8252.7.8.97_1_0 06/07/2009 10:06:38 Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. 06/07/2009 10:07:19 Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 06/07/2009 10:07:19 SETI@home Temporarily failed upload of 06dc08ad.24531.8252.7.8.89_0_0: connect() failed 06/07/2009 10:07:19 SETI@home Backing off 39 min 27 sec on upload of 06dc08ad.24531.8252.7.8.89_0_0 06/07/2009 10:07:21 Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

My team in unable to send any work from 3 days. There has been heavy network traffic for the last few days, and it looks like it will continue for a while yet. Some of your results must have got through otherwise you wouldn't be able to down load more work. Grant Darwin NT |

It's already going on for a number of weeks now. A lot of times I cannot load up the calculated data for a number of consecutive days. If it is a network overload, why isn't anything done about it? |

Because that would cost lots of $$$ that the project just doesn't have (last estimate I saw was in the region of $100000). F. |

Really I don't understand why SETI servers still have problems !!! what are they doing there ??? We have plenty of crunches to upload since last friday !!! And, IT IS possible to download new ones. The problem comes from the upoload not from the download. Please Correct this fast ! A lot of friends are leaving SETI because of that . |

Really I don't understand why SETI servers still have problems !!! Because there are 180,000 crunchers trying to reach one upload server. One upload server, run by a tiny staff, on 100 megabit connection. They need more help, better hardware, and a faster connection. The fix is money: they don't have money. If you can be patient, BOINC will take care of this. If you can't, maybe you can help with the funding issue. |

Well it's been redoing the upload process for 18mins now and hasn't uploaded this one thing -.- It says project servers may be down. WILL it upload or no? D: |

Yes, it will upload eventually. SETI's internet bandwidth is just a bit overloaded at the moment. |

Hi everybody, How much it costs ? What kind of hardware they need ? Is it possible to externalize another server in Europe ? in France ? If someone could ask, and tell me ? I think we could do something to help... |

Hi everybody, I suggest you go to the Technical News Forum where all this is hotly debated. Tullio |

Hi everybody, As Tullio has said, discussed at length. SETI@Home has a 100 megabit connection to the 'net. They need to get the University to upgrade their connection, or perhaps move the servers to a building that already has fast bandwidth. The servers are mostly hand-me-downs. It's probably possible to put servers "out there" in the world, but it's unlikely because it is a management headache -- all the data must get out of Berkeley initially, and back to Berkeley, and adding off-site servers makes that a two-step process. |

I am getting MB units, crunching them on my CPU, uploading the results and getting new units. Cannot get Astropulse. I have the optimized 5.03 version and am waiting for the optimized 5.05 installer for my Linux box. Tullio |

I have the optimized 5.03 version and am waiting for the optimized 5.05 installer for my Linux box. If you have an app_info.xml file (you have optimized apps) and you do not have an entry for "astropulse_v505" then you will not get any 5.05 work units: you have to tell BOINC you have an application for it. |

Yes, I know. But the combined installation package for both MB and astropulse should be available soon. |

The task was apparently completed during a short period when BOINC was not started as administrator. I did two CUDA/CPU reschedules with Marius' tool (v1.9) and the log wasn't saved to stdoutdae.txt between the two. BOINC can't create/save files properly when not running as administrator? The task was completed successfully by the way (exit status 0). All other uploads have gone through fine. Any ideas? |

13.7.2009 18:45:24 SETI@home [file_xfer_debug] file transfer status -127 That's a transient upload error. It as much means that a file_upload_handler (FUH) handling a file has put a lock on the directory on the server, so no other FUHs can interfere and write to that same space. This can only be solved by the project. |

Thanks for a quick reply! Well it's no biggie to me, just one task. As long as it won't cause problems on the project level it can retry for the full two weeks for all I care. |

0445utc, upload server is disabled. Obviously, uploads fail. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |
