Server status page looks nice.

Panic is creeping in here. I have a terrible problem finding any problem with the project right now.

I may have to type format c: in a cmd window, to create a problem....

LOL.....
That would do it.

Hmmm... that would only wipe the one partition.
I like a nice

C:\diskpart
DISKPART> select dive 0
DISKPART> clean

If that is to much you could do a boinccmd --set_network_mode never 5184000.
Sixty days of no network comms would defiantly cause a tiny bit of worry for BOINC.

That looks a useful cmd, if you don't want it to comm for a while (not 60 days).

SETI must be having server problems again. Taking forever just to download 2 workunits.

No problems, just a bunch of AP WOrk Units being distributed. An hour or 2 & the network traffic will drop off again & things will speed up.

Those bursts, with maxed out bandwith, indicate, too much host trying to connect, at the same time, I think, in some cases, looking at the download speed,
which is wrong, cause it's UPLoads causing the trouble, although sometime also
DownLoad, but I never experienced this, files come through complete, or not
at all, which is a good thing, NetWork improvement as well hardware (GigaBitLAN) as software, fetching ahead, f.i., works very well.

Lots and lots of work, specially AP and MB and a lot VLARs and now I've been without power 12 hours, now restored,
2 rigs were shutdown, very rare a power outage in the Netherlands.
I'd almost forgotten about them, since the last major power outage in the north,
Groningen, happened about 30 years ago!

But it's also still hot, also very strange, 20C, a.t.m(past midnight). makes you wonder...........

Maybe cause, there is one thing, which I never did change, my cache setting of 4 days and I've never been completely out of SETI work! (Well, maybe
one time.) B.t.w. I'm going way too fast, looking at deadlines of a month...,
but a lot of the 'forum visitors and writers', do have a much higher throughput, also widely known and famous as R(ecent)A(verage)C(redit), since
the LUNATICs, whats else could you expect, made an CPU app., doing almost twice
the stock throughput and last, but not least, CUDA 'fell out of the sky' inmediatly
taken care of, again by the notorious LUNATICs, produced, after weeks of non-stop,
hard work, a beatifull shiny new app. x32F, included in the widely known,
Universal Installer 0.37.................. To be continued soon.......
Sorry for making such a fuzz........

(Maybe start, my 'other two' the crunching rigs, an i7-2600(+2xEAH5870+AP ATIrev516 app) and a Q6600+GTS250(SSSE3 CPU& CUDA x32f), before I go to sleep, hoping it'll cool down a bit during the night.)

Gonna 'give a few cores' to CPDN, since our weather/climate seems to
be more rapidly changing, then accounted for, so to speak.......

But, ehh, right, SERVERS (&) PROBLEMS, well, they aren't wanted, or needed,
or included, nor payed for, but somebody has to check, chase Murphy and stop him!

Those download bursts are batches of APs being issued by the scheduler. Unlike MB which is available all the time, AP gets issues in batches, apparently. Means once you see one of those surges, that's the time to request work for APs. The quiet period between them, it is fairly unlikely to get any.

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

Hmmm.
Server status page shows green, network traffic shows nothing.


EDIT- looks like downloads are working again. Uploads still hot happening though.

Is it only due to AP burst or is there problems with downloads? I do get some through but I have many projects backoffs.

I HATE SHORTIES
My caches are now riddled with them!

A storm of shorties seems to also be part of the problem. Results out in the field went through the roof during the last couple of hours, and looking at my own caches, I did get an unusual amount of shorties during the last 12 hours.

"Part of" ??!!

I don't think the splitters have produced anything except shorties for the last twelve hours! I did a spot check earlier, and had over 300 tasks stuck in the queue to download (across five machines). Fewer than 10 of them were 'normal' AR - and those were all re-issues. Every single first-issue task (_0, _1) was a shorty.

Took an hour or more, downloading 8 AP tasks, while I still have at least 20 on
This host with 2 HD5870 does a lot of them. Deadlines are far enough ahead to justify another 50 AP tasks :)
And, again quite a lot of MB, shorties, alsovlar's, shorties take 4, 5, 6 minutes
on a GTX480(3 at once) and GTX470(2 at once), times are ~10% shorter.
The 480 has 1 Compute Unit; CUDA Core more, 15, then 470, with 14.

Forgot, this is the SERVER problems thread, so deleted it.
Not really experiencing bad or none connection at all, sometimes it appears to be overloaded. Responding with an http error and in most cases, still UP-- & Downloads.
But DownLoads, also UPLoads are sometimes very slow!

(If you have Broadband, probably very often (A)DSL and thus not
check BOINCs NetWork Settings, not to 'start' or 'stop', I think that's for a MODEM,
so 56KBaud (bit) per second ~7KByte/sec. theoretically.)

So, no real troubles here, saw when getting home, that fiber was put in the ground,
Network demands are inclining, at a fast rate, even in this very little town ;-)

Yes, now that I have been looking deeper into the issue, I admit that the "part of..." was an understatement :-)

Edit: And may I also add that if they don't fix this within the next 5 to 10 years, I'm out of here.

LOL

LOL...

Good one! ;-)

<edit> Maybe it's because while they have the hardware in pretty good shape, it was time to get rid of some of the chaff. :-D

Is anyone else experiencing d/l problems? Both of my machines have been attempting to d/l since 23:30 last night. The cricket graphs haven't been updated since 06:08 this morning.

Yes everyone is experiencing UL/DL problems right now, and as was mentioned earlier the reason is there is a lot of short runtime work being split currently.

BTW, the Cricket graphs are being updated properly. Don't forget the timeline shown is PDT.
