Drive (Aug 11 2011)

Successfully downloaded 71 workunits just now. Saw a cache of a few hundred thousand available so decided to give it a try.

Bummed, just set this up on a nifty big nice server sitting on a 1GB pipe in a colo and no work to do. is there a way to test this to make sure I am not doing anything wrong? (says error no work available to process)

Looks like I downloaded my 71 WU's just in time :(

Folks most of the help treads are in Number crunching forum please post in that forum. The tech news forums are for staff updates on the project. They don't answer questions on problems very often here that happens in the number crunching forum on this same message board. As to why posts have been fewer from staff is the staff person that normally posts them is going on a long vacation/ Rock band tour of europe and the eastern USA. The rest of the staff has almost no forum presence and does not post here very often. I expect to see 2-3 posts while Matt is on vacation from staff. Also most of the project staff is part time on this project and they are doing thing like write funding requests to funding agencies at this time. I think most funding agencies have a twice a year deadlines for putting in requests for money one in the spring one in the fall for most of them. I think their time is better spent writing those than posting on the forums right now.

So the impression left is simply that seti is down, no one is doing anything and nothing will change. I doubt that is quite accurate but that's the impression. For all we know, no one is working on it and that's that.

Try this one as a starter:

Its always near the top of the list, and the "version" gets incremented periodically.

YAY! Uploading! WOO-HOO! Just wanted to say I don't know what you guys did this morning but it worked! Haven't been able to connect to SETI since Aug 22, today booted up after getting home and uploaded and reported 192 WU's all at once pretty much.

So thanks for all your hard work on the tech side trying to fix these router problems. And if you're still not sure how to solve it, use whatever you did today as a clue.

A lot seem to be impatient. Just relax. They're doing the best they can with what they have. There isn't a team of like 200 people that work on keeping this project alive. So things take time and often times big things break. Regardless of time. SETI@home has ALWAYS fixed their issues one way or another. I doubt these guys would waste most of their time on this if they didn't care or simply just didn't want to fix it. Sometimes they need parts. Other times it's a deeper issue. Whatever the reason, be patient. I am sure there are a lot of other things you can do in the meantime.

I have been uploading and reporting whatever WUs I managed to download for about a solid 5-6 days, and that's NOT including the weekly downtime. As of this posting it seems that hings are finally working again for the most part. Still a few disabled servers, but there are a couple hundred workunits to be crunched so lets get a move on :P

I see, so the Technical forum is the wrong place to ask questions about a technical problem.

Makes perfect sense...

A look at the number crunching board doesn't show any threads related to seti being down.
