I made a small change that tripled our upload bandwidth. The change is to quickly drop excess connections rather than let them wait in the TCP queue.

We were doing this last week, but apparently Matt turned it off. IDK why. Matt is on vaca now.

Clearly it helps. Thanks for linking to Cricket so we can watch how it changes.

I've not bothered to count all the wu's I have for uploading, but my total is down to about 230mb of space seti@home is using across my machines. I don't want to think about what all my machines at work have stored on them lol.

I was just looking through the message log and got excited....lol

On this machine, on a 22" monitor @ 1680x1050 res, I have noticed that I am averaging 1 FINISHED result per complete vertical feed of text on the screen.....lol.

It's gonna be a while, but atleast it's finally moving.

The interesting part is when it gets below critical mass and the requests work. Over the years have also found it interesting is how Boinc is better at "guessing" when to retry and be successful.

Well I see there are a lot of uploads going through (cricket, and server status page shows a large number of "received in last hour"), so I know uploads are going through. Every time I try, I get an instant "http error" and the exponential backoff occurs. I'll just leave networking suspended for more time.

Ah, that would explain why some of my uploads are going through, and others are timing out after a second or less.

AAhhhh......Satisfaction.

850 WU's Up...and 1500 WU's back down and I am all ready to go once again.

Finally satisfied.

When I switched on the comp this morning one went up and the others http errors so I will now just wait until the others go up and hopefully have some downloads. My other Boinc projects will just have to carry on working.

---

Well this turned out kind of not how I would have expected. People got enough of their uploads sent in and started hammering the servers for downloads, so now there's no bandwidth for the uploads to get through.

Uploads are getting through, just slowly as there are still a lot of machines trying to upload finished work.

Enough of my uploads went through for it to start asking for more work, but the cache still isn't full as i hit the daily WU limit. And i notice a lot of the WU are shorties again.
Although it looks like AP has almost done it's last disk, so in a few hours that'll cause the downloads to drop off significantly once that dries up again.

Just let it run (if you normally do overnight). It will recover with time.


It's now fine. Uploads are normal for me now.

Thanks for your response.

just a poet

I have a slightly different upload problem. All but one of my stuck uploads have cleared, except for http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1302869985.

BoincView log shows that task completed 14/07/09 23:35 and I have completed and uploaded 7 other tasks since. For some reason this older task is still stuck even though more recent ones have cleared.

I think a similar problem has happened before. It may be linked to ISP, I use T-Mobile "mobile broadband". I will try an upload later when I have an alternate internet access through a public WiFi connetion.

[Edit]
Now 8 sucesses after this one stuck result.

I have had 3/4 of my wus uploaded hopefully I will start getting some downloads soon as I have a few of my other boinc project to do

A large percentage of my uploads have gone though. One box has gotten them all pushed through, but the others keep getting HTTP errors.

Looking at the cricket graphs, it is obvious where the AP splitters ran out of tapes and the upload line immediately goes up.

It seems as if we're at the point, presently, where there are no sockets available in Apache. No telling how long this will last.

I suppose the good news is that luck of the draw pushed most of my shorties through, so I was able to report those before re-issues were reported.

Can't get any work. Looks like the splitters aren't fast enough, no work units being sent.

What if Fiction was Fact and Fact was Fiction and vice versa?

I had the same problem, but now the server works correctly

I have only gotten about 20-25 new MB WU's downloaded in the last hour or so, since I turned the scheduler back on after last night's downloads maxing out @ 1500 WU's.

Hopefully things pickup soon as everyone's cache get's filled up again after the 'speedbump' over the previous couple of days.

Within the last 30 mins all my WU's uploaded and I got new WU (all MB, no AP).

I only have CPU's here, no CUDA, because I only buy laptops (for non BOINC reasons)
