The status page says the download servers are up, but I am getting no work. I've been dry for weeks. |

not sure. It could be due to rearrangements and incorrect, or they might be getting ready to clean up the resends. Janice |

It is confusing, since the status page reports more than 1.1 M "results" ready to send yet I get a message that there is no work available. |

Matt just covered it in tech news. We should be getting some resends. Janice |

I got some CPU work, now I'll try for some GPU work to do. |

I'm trying to snag a few. will see if I can Get through to the server. Only asking for 0.1 day cache. I suspect this is really tightly limited work flow. |

Just received 54 fresh (0 or 1) VHAR shorties plus one resend for my gpu. After 303 seconds my cpu asked for work and got (in)famous ...reached a limit thing. Are there any other experiences? Who the hell is General Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?¿ |

I just got some GPU work to go along with my CPU work (about an hour ago), so I stopped requesting new tasks until the work I have is processed. |

Greetings, The download server(s) is indeed up and running. My Linux box successfully downloaded 20 WUs. My i7 box has been trying to get 8 WUs longer than the Linux box. Still have not received them. On a related note: I have been seeing some strange behavior with my i7 box since I started doing Einstein again. I have had to re-boot a few times a day over the past few. And it is really affecting BOINC. I have it set to NNT and will, once again, quit crunching for Einstein. If the i7 no longer experiences any more problems after that, I'm done with Einstein for good. I just have to wait for the 200+ WUs to get done with. Sure wish I could get something from Orbit... Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

Also getting quite a few tasks on both my PCs, like 18 APs in one go. |

If the i7 no longer experiences any more problems after that, I'm done with Einstein for good. Do you have overclock or undervolt on your i7? I'd not be surprised if the limit line differs between an Einstein ap and a SETI ap. My i7 has run both, but has run nearly non-stop Einstein since I commissioned it about the beginning of September. I run a moderate overclock at a slight overvolt, but I tuned it for Einstein, so no surprise it works there. It had no trouble the day or so it spent running SETI, which would support that for my box SETI is the less demanding application. Most of the SETI RAC, however, is from running astropulse on the ATI graphics card--a different matter entirely. My i7 is a Xeon E5620, so a Westmere-EP on 32 nm. It is currently running at 3.42 GHz with CPU-Z reporting the CPU voltage as 1.13V. Your mileage will vary. In two months I have had one blue screen (something about a memory problem) and a few failures to continue during boot--almost always after switching between non hyperthreaded and HT. Otherwise it has run well despite being my daily driver, my investment machine, my photo hobby machine, and my audio hobby machine as well as a BOINC cruncher. |

Thought I'd give it a try. Clicked update and got a wu. Woohoo. (Not meant in a sarcastic way) |

SERVER page states As of 4 Nov 2010 22:40:05 UTC] All SERVERS running, except AP_Splitters. And Pushing the UPdate buttom, I got work, but a lot is still trying to get 'through'. I had SETI just 'open', no NNT, otherwise your LTD, remains the same. After the project comes online with new servers, that debt has to be equilized. |

no splitters running at all, as it should be. this is to help clean up for transition. Janice |

I've received one Cuda WU for my 480 machine. Nothing for my server and it's GTS 250. Nice to see Seti pop up for a few. Suspect it won't be there long, can't wait on the new servers to get here, Einstein for some reason isn't as satisfying. Traveling through space at ~67,000mph! |

I have an ATI graphics card I'd be happy to supply with Astropulse work running the Lunatics ap. So on seeing this thread and the network activity graph, I turned off NNT and awaited events without button pushing. So far it has requested GPU astropulse work about half a dozen times and not gotten any--no surprise there this soon after reactivation of downloads. There were about 15 thousand AP jobs available for download, but presumably my time slot had already been emptied at each request. It requested CPU work just twice, and was assigned work both times (appears to be retries, four _2, two _3, plus a _4 and a _6). The actual downloads came slowly, and involved a little retry activity. Here is my surprise, and the reason I am posting: Considering how early we are in a re-enabling of work download after a long dry spell, and with the network graph pegged, I am astonished at not getting any appreciable rate of failed connections on work requests. Unless a remarkable fraction of SETI users have deserted or are still on NNT (which I doubt because I think the large majority run passively without intervention in response to events) then the current project configuration differs substantially in a way that greatly lowers the flood of failed connections we used to see during restarts in the past. Perhaps they adopted Richard Haselgrove's suggestion, perhaps they have improved something else. Anyway, I like it. |

Archae86, You have to remember project backoff. A lot of machines haven't even tried yet. Also, it looks like the Einstein work I have is keeping me from requesting new SETI work. That's just a guess though. I have one Einstein WU running high priority and SETI is not requesting new work on update. I've set NNT on Einstein so I hope SETI is still giving out work when I get low enough. I may just decide to detach from Einstein to get back to SETI. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

And yes, after each (successful) sheduler contact in the message log, you'll see SETI@home 04/11/2010 19:34:29 Project requested delay of 303 seconds That used to be 11 seconds: I'll accept the blame. Or, if you can establish a causal effect with the low rate of failed connections, the credit ;-) Cheques, bunches of flowers, chocolate, to the usual address, please. |
