Hey, has anyone else noticed uploads are really slow to go through? :) Only joking although I did just notice it myself. Haven't had BM open in awhile. All my MBs are done and I am holding on by crunching an AP I managed to get a couple of days ago. Looks like two of my uploads are now ready to report so maybe more of them will get through too.

Ok
I will let my computer to manage itself.
But isn't it a problem if it contact server all the time for upload?
Not for me, it's just generate lots of error message pages. but for SETI server?

Regards.

Everyones else machines are trying to contact the Servers and that is what Boinc was designed to do. If you let it do it in its own way things should be fine.

1050 wu to upload for my 21 machines. A number of them are due tomorrow and many more due the next day.

Does anyone know if Admins can suspend due dates or will the work go overdue and effort be lost??

Effort will be lost only if someone can return a resend before your original gets there. Fat chance at the moment.

Perhaps they could make a changed to the client app. When it gets one of the "Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down." then it could back off all the uploads instead of just the single one. Seems like that would DDOS the servers a bit less.

Actually those changes are being discussed at the Developer Level. Cuda being the animal it is and the outage here has proven that changes need to happen.

That's good to know. If there is a beta app with any of these new "improvements" out soon I could toss it on a box or two in my test lab at work if more guinea pigs are needed.

Rom does not have Boinc Alpha currently open to new testers.

Upload server is down again.

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.

Thank you Eric! Good, short, technical, and descriptive update.

Yes, thanks Eric. Very informative.....and I love the live bandwidth monitor image ;) ...very sexy.

Aww man! I liked the red eyes and devil horns! They look cool! :)

I am happy now. My main machine just reported about 400 or so WU's.....only about another 400 or so to go by the look of things, then I can start downloading new work again.

I am on the road to recovery.....well, this system anyways.

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 would presume that someone sent a email that caughts Eric's attention.

It looks like the major portion of the rush has been dampened a bit.
