Just uploaded 4 tasks sucessfully, about 5 minutes later BOINC asked for new work. I checked my Tasks page and all 4 tasks have the outcome "Validate Error". It seems that there is currently a problem at the server side. Keith |

Thanks for the replies, I saw other reports in the "Panic" thread, but I started this one so that some people may want to Suspend Network activity until this problem is resolved, otherwise their work may be wasted, as Validate Errors are a server side problem, nothing wrong with the work done by the client. |

Not all ULed/reported results of after the outage go in 'validate errors' status. Also if a 'wingman' report his ULed results now, this will give my old (before the outage) ULed/reported results a 'validate error' status. Validate error's of my PCs: [GPU cruncher] [QX6700] Current no 'validate error' at my QX6700, but the time will tell.. |

I now have 5 Validate errors in my tasks also. Not sure how many uploads or tasks have been reported this evening. Isn't this one of the errors that is corrected by running a script file? Seems like Validate errors have been a widespread problem before... Martin |

Thankfully, I don't have any validate errors yet - look here , but i can't get any new WU to download at all... I haven't had any SETI tasks for about 35 hours now and am getting a message 12/28/2009 8:15:01 PM SETI@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available) 12/28/2009 8:36:02 PM SETI@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available) 12/28/2009 8:39:43 PM SETI@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available) This is just the last 3... I have about 30 identical messages built up |

Patience! Seti went from Cold Iron to trying to catch up... This was on someone(s) time when they were forced to take time off.. So many things have to catch up. Right now they are in a state of flux... Few things should get lost... Regards Please consider a Donation to the Seti Project. |

I hope the 'validate error do again well script' will be used (again, like in past).. for to protect the science/results (and Credits) for 'deletion'. |

ALL my crunching during the outage have now been uploaded and ALL have been marked as VALIDATE ERROR even though the credits claimed seem to be right. No credit has been granted at all after every task has been uploaded. It seems that all work done is lost, unless these tasks are to be corrected. My statistics show ZERO increase in Total Credits, which is in keeping with the assumption that ALL tasks have been discarded for the duration of the outage. Just this second another task has completed:- Tue 29 Dec 01:58:11 2009 SETI@home [error] Error reported by file upload server: can't open file Tue 29 Dec 01:58:11 2009 SETI@home Temporarily failed upload of 09mr07ac.1342.5798.15.10.2_0_0: transient upload error Tue 29 Dec 01:58:11 2009 SETI@home Backing off 1 min 0 sec on upload of 09mr07ac.1342.5798.15.10.2_0_0 Tue 29 Dec 01:59:12 2009 SETI@home Started upload of 09mr07ac.1342.5798.15.10.2_0_0 Tue 29 Dec 01:59:19 2009 SETI@home Finished upload of 09mr07ac.1342.5798.15.10.2_0_0 Work Unit presently shows:- 1459626085 2881519 24 Dec 2009 3:15:53 UTC 28 Jan 2010 8:07:25 UTC In progress --- --- --- --- Anonymous platform 1459626086 5075156 24 Dec 2009 3:15:57 UTC 25 Dec 2009 16:28:36 UTC Completed, waiting for validation 53,475.39 51,629.38 47.45 pending SETI@home Enhanced v6.03 No doubt it will be like the rest after it hits the validating process like this work unit:- 1459626089 2881519 24 Dec 2009 3:15:53 UTC 29 Dec 2009 0:28:10 UTC Validate error 13,788.39 13,161.43 47.44 --- Anonymous platform 1459626090 4153097 24 Dec 2009 3:15:56 UTC 24 Dec 2009 20:52:49 UTC Validate error 54,427.63 29,454.61 47.45 --- SETI@home Enhanced v6.03 1463315663 --- --- --- Unsent --- --- --- --- 1463315664 --- --- --- Unsent --- --- --- --- Will these tasks be recovered? About 30 to 40 tasks of mine have been treated as VALIDATE ERRORs like this over the outage time. Keith |

I got the same transient upload error messages, but I also noticed that the files did upload correctly later. I don't buy computers, I build them!! |

Everybody needs to calm down and be patient. @Skywalker66 - you were never promised work and you were also never promised that the work would validate either. It's not about the credits, it's about the science. As to the transient uploads - the veterans here will know them. They have happened before and will fix themselves as the servers aren't put under so much strain. As for the validate errors, I have 2 of them. Matt will probably be able to fix them... - Luke. |

I guess, the ratio RAC/validate errors is for everybody the same. But the result is different. To now I have 56 'validate error's.. Hmm.. maybe I could/should be more sad than others? Sure, other think this are peanuts for me.. I lost to now maybe ~ 300,000 or 400,000 Cr. because of unplanned server outages at Berkeley. Because of unreachable servers.. and so on.. But, this RAC is not from nothing.. I payed the equipment and every month I must pay the electricity bill. |

That's right. Also I don't want to be asked for spending money. I can't buy slice of bread for the credits which I (don't) get and nobody spends me money to buy food or to pay my bills. Have good times. Bye! |

The results reported before Matt's post are still not fixed, those reported after his fix are ok. |
