I'm sure there's plenty of astropulses going out but my estimates have gone from 280hrs with the first V6, the second was 264hrs and with the third that just finished downloading 241hrs. Phew, it's gonna be a while for things to get back to normal (cache wise) for me :) The difference now is that it'll take longer to get the completed count up to 10 since only validated tasks which ran full length and had less than 10% blanking go into the average. Based on our observations of v505 work showing about 1 in 4 having higher blanking plus the early exits, at 14 validated there would be about a 50/50 chance of having 10 in the average. But the protections ought to mean after 10 completed the estimates will be fairly close. For someone running only AP, DCF will have gone down while getting there, but in a way it's fortunate the initial estimates are so high. Whenever the runtime is less than 1/10 the estimate, DCF only goes down a little. Joe |

Unfortunately, my vacation is not going too well yet. Better luck in the morning. Have fun on your vacation. |

And so far what I've seen in my handy spreadsheet is that of the 11 APs that I have crunched and returned with r557, one was a B3_P1 with 100% blanking, and only three of the other 10 had less than 10% blanked. It does of course depend on the data itself, but a very early and large margin-of-error estimate is about 1 in 3 have <10% based on my data.

Getting quite a lot of shorties though I don't mind, I enjoy crunching them. The kitties luv shorties too. Just as long as the servers can keep up and keep the limited kibble bowls full. The Frozen 920 has about 1560 GPU tasks in cache...right now about 1150 of them are shorties. It would take about 9-1/2 hours for it to crunch all of the shorties if the servers went down. Hence my wish for an increase or lifting of the current limits. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Uploads were a bit iffy for a while there, but they seem to be going through now. Eventually. Grant Darwin NT |

Make that uploads are still very iffy. Looking at the network traffic, inbound traffic is looking a bit jagged. Things aren't good in upload land. Grant Darwin NT |

I've been seeing this too along with many long backoff's on my two best crunchers. Then I retry for both downloads and uploads and it will all get through. I thought things were returning to near normal on Tuesday evening but then it go much worse again on Wednesday. This maintenance period has been a nightmare for my uploads. Even with my slowest machine I have had to manually update and retry a great deal. I joined just a few months ago, but this has not happened before for me except for that really bad period around the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks in Feb. Brother Frank |

Things aint to good in d/l land either, every single WU download has had to be retried a min of 3 times.. Not a great problem during my waking hours, but on waking to find both rigs in project backoffs etc is getting a tad wearing:-) I now find my waking hours are somewhat altered, up at between 03:00 and 04:00hrs, back to kip at 06:00, awake again at 09:30hrs.. Kip again about 23:59hrs.. and so on.. I request a public warning be posted:- SETI@HOME can be ADDICTIVE :-) Regards, Cliff, Been there, Done that, Still no damm T shirt! |

But the protections ought to mean after 10 completed the estimates will be fairly close. Only one of your first 5 validated tasks went into the average, I hope that's just a Murphy's Law effect. As of last Monday, over 110000 AP v6 tasks from hosts running the stock Windows build had gone into the averages, but that discussion with Dr. korpela was on another subject and he didn't indicate how many total tasks were involved. That one which did go into your average produced an APR very close to that you had for many AP v505 tasks, a good sign. Joe |

Downloads and uploads are slow but looking at the pipe it not strange in any way. |

Same issue as many many times before. Direct connection to the download servers, and the download is totally borked. Finding a good proxy, preferrably on the U.S west coast, and downloading goes like a rocket. Since i edited my hosts file to connect only to the one server i haven't had any real issues downloading. For the last day or 2 it's been a bit iffy- quite a bit slower than it has been & sometimes takes a couple of tries before it finally starts downloading. Grant Darwin NT |

Out of interest, which IP Address are you using? .13 or .18? |

No - the horses get in the way, make piles, and are a bit too heavy to just lift out of the way! ;-) Happy Crunching, Graham |
