I can't upload the 240 or so tasks finished on each of my two crunchers, or even report the 50 or so tasks on each that were uploaded some hours (days?) ago. I'm getting this on both machines:

8/10/2011 11:32:11 AM SETI@home Sending scheduler request: To report completed tasks.
8/10/2011 11:32:11 AM SETI@home Reporting 56 completed tasks, not requesting new tasks
8/10/2011 11:32:33 AM Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
8/10/2011 11:32:33 AM SETI@home Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server
8/10/2011 11:32:35 AM Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

Doesn't mention HE or gateway problems, so what's going on? I know the servers are maxed out (as usual) but I haven't experienced such delays in uploading/reporting until the last day or so.

Any info would be appreciated...

Hmmmmmm...
Dunno, no upload problems here.
Downloads are a bit problematic at times, but uploads have been going through pretty much straight away.

I've got the same problem. No uploads. I was fine before the Tuesday outage, and now I'm like a stick in the mud. :-(

BOINC doesn't know anything about HE (Hurricane Electric, SETI@Home's ISP) or internet gateways, so you'll never see a message in the logs stating as much.

Since a lot of people in the HE thread are complaining about the same thing, I'm willing to assume that your problem is similar.

Why not read, and then contribute your ISP's tracert data to, HE connection problems thread

Edit - I see KB7RZF slipped a post in while I was composing, and has already done what I was suggesting. No offense intended :-)

Why not read, and then contribute your ISP's tracert data to, HE connection problems thread

Love to, but that's a very long thread and I haven't the time right now. But thanks for the suggestion.

But what does it all mean? And why can some get through and some not? And why did my problem just crop up (roughly) a day ago, but after the outage - I was U/D/L okay after the outage at least for a while...that's what I was originally asking about.

Thanks, all.

OK, since you ask.....

For some time now (since late June, in fact) folks in some parts of the world have been having difficulty - up to and including complete cut-off - when trying to connect to the SETI data servers.

During maintenance yesterday (or perhaps sometime earlier this week), Matt said that he thought they'd found the culprit:

It's looking like we might have find the culprit of the random HE connection problems - a corrupt routing table in one of our routers. I believe we cleaned it up. So... did we? How's everybody doing now? Of course, we're coming out of a typical Tuesday outage, so there's a lot of competing traffic.

Subsequent experience - including yours - suggests that in fixing the corruption, they either just moved it around, or perhaps broke something else. Hence, the request that people experiencing problems collect and post the data for their own ISP - that might (no guarantees) help Matt find which part of the routing table is corrupted this time. And that, in turn, might help to get you back online more quickly.

I have noticed the server stats pages shows the upload server as disabled every few updates today. The current status at [As of 10 Aug 2011 | 16:00:09 UTC] is still showing disabled.
