Come on Mutt....
Stick around. You have been around long enough to see these things come and go in the past.
The kitties are gonna stick around until the last WU has been crunched.

It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings. And she isn't even warming up yet.

On a positive note my puter has gone from #84 in the top puters to # 75 juring this extended problem.Seen alot of outages over the years like when the Sun Spark master data base gave up and they had to wait 10 days for a new one to arrive from Sun Micro and then another 14 days to set it up.Mind you that was along time ago !! Still crunching though and by the look of things I should run out sometime Sunday evening or early next Monday.

I wouldn't even be able to begin to add up all the uploads I have hanging here across all 8 rigs....I am sure it is in the multiple thousands.

But still crunching on all 8.

Results received in last hour 8,170 <--- thats doubled in the last 20 minutes... could the dam be breaking ..even before the scheduled outage ?

Perhaps it's just an increase of the number of people abusing their buttons in the hopes of getting their uploads through so they can download more work before the outage.

Ive managed to get a few to report from the Mac. But the old P4 and the i7 just dont want to let them go:) And it seems like getting wu's from milkyway is like pulling hensteeth. i7 and the Mac get them but barely. well at least im crunching something.

I think It's time I put My 2 cents in, The staff should be able to fix this, But don't expect a fix to come immediately as somethings may need replacing and I know on a limited budget that can take time, So this is not the end of Seti@Home, Far from It. So S@H will come back, Even if It has to, Seti isn't dead yet, So don't give up hope yet.

Success! After an hour of button pushing, I got my 40-some-odd uploads to go thru and got enough downloads to last me another week. :)

I wonder, how many times S@H will bounce until people will resign massively and switch to other projects...

Unable to upload WUs for over 3 days now....

Starting to think about changing project....

And please don't give me this "small budget/manpower" or "consider joining another project" - yeah I know - but instead of joining another project I'm starting to think about switching/changinig the project. The idea of SETI@Home is (still) very attractive and that's why I joined S@H classic over 9yrs ago. It was solid, stable, fun and involving. Now S@H started to be a victim of it's own success - downtimes take 20% of total time, servers failing/overheating, power breakers failures, air conditioning failures, fiber optics broken.... you name it - all sort of disasters available in the computer world...- on a very frequent basis...

And people at SSL are saying "we're running the largest distribured project to date".... - ok - If the project will be of actual shape - I don't think it will last for much longer.

Perhaps it's time to stabilize the project somehow? (instead of adding new features/scientific code/DB clogging NTPICkr and stuff like that). Maybe a change of approach to such massively data processing should be taken into account (ie. distribution of the workload to another sites, etc.)?

I'll wait for a day or two.... - hence S@H is my primary burn-in test and a WU distribution is failing for such a long time and now it happend that I have 8 brand new PC's to test - I'll have to find a way to test them - either with S@H or without it..

Cheers,

Profi

p.s. I'm not panicking so "Panic Mode on" suggestions are also not for me..

Stable? Something tells me you haven't been paying attention. There has been worse outages than this one. The project has never been stable in the sense that most people think.

Well, 11 years of this crud, and we are still here in record numbers. I'm sure we lose credit hounds from time to time, but I'm here for the science. And to see what happens next. Every time you think you've seen it all, something new pops up. It's sort of like Reality TV for computers, but without the annoying celebrities.
