Personally I think the system works better with the limits in place.

Units are turned around quickly and are able to be cleared from the data base in good time.The system load should actually decrease because even though it has to handle more contacts each contact only involves the uploading and downloading of 10 or so units at a time. The excessive number of units out in the field just slows the system down. My RAC has dropped nearly 15,000 in 24 hours. Having it drop that quickly is the equivalent of turning 2 machines off cold.

With FIVE new servers in place in the past 15 months most of the hardware issues have been cured so does anyone really need to keep a 10 day cache except for bragging rights.

Personally.......
The kitties have not always been about bragging rights.......
But they have them.

I know about dragging RAC.

I don't give a dang about it.
My pendings have gone up a thousand fold since the change.
And I welcome it.

I brag sometimes....I have the kibbles to back it, my friend.
If that is not your piece of dirt, don't fight it.


EDIT...
And I love the current server situ.
If it continues for another 6 months, even the kitties may consider leaving fewer kibbles in their bowls.

EDIT 2......
And you might find better time crunching than to pick a bit with the #6 cruncher in the place......
There are reasons I am where I am. Cache is one of them.
It got me crunching through times when the servers were down and out.
I kept going.
Peace.

Oh Oh....AP is being split again. Grab them while you can. I only crunch AP 6 on my Celeron Laptop for now, here on main, and that one doesn't compete for any award for the fastest cruncher ever built.

LOL

Ah, that explains the uptick in the cricket download graph. Oh, well, this latest free-for-all has left me with a rather large cache on most machines, so I'm not overly concerned about download speeds. Also the UK weather finally cleared up enough for me to take one of my quad-cores outside to blow the dust out of it and replace the PSU that failed three weeks ago. My RAC on that machine is down to 500 from its normal 3600, so I expect my overall RAC to improve even further now -- some of my newer machines still haven't reached a plateau.

OK, been too long since we had anything to panic about.

There's a 'tape' on the splitter list called 01ap10hv. They start with aa, ab, ac ... and count up.

So, did they really record 203 tapes that day? Over 10 TB? Or is ET pulling our leg?

I didn't know they had that much on site storage. Perhaps a hiccup in the recording software?

Shields down Scottie.

AFAIK there is more than one person on this project running a 10 day cache. I was talking generally and using a figure of speech, not having a go at you or anyone else in particular.

If I had wanted to ping you personally I'd have said something much more pointed.

Peace

Amen

Things seem to be at an upload/download stand still at the moment, but I don't mind a bit. It is so nice to carry a bit of a cache, and not have to worry if my rig is about to run out of work. I can survive an outage, or a shorty storm. I am quite pleased that the limits were lifted. If they were still in place, I would be panicing a bit about now.

All downloads that were stuck on my hosts now went "through":
[error] File 22ap11ad.25473.17253.14.10.23 has wrong size: expected 375365, got 0
[error] Checksum or signature error for 22ap11ad.25473.17253.14.10.23

That's a new one :)
Now I have more errors than some doofus with broken and forgotten GPU.

Edit: nevermind. fresh WUs are downloading fine again

Georgem has some new file deletion responsibilities, so perhaps they are shuffling things around, working out the bugs.

Yup I'm getting up there in the download error count myself. At first I saw an errored task in boinctasks and though something was going on with my machine. Then noticed the error. Guess we will have to see if it straightens out.

Around 50 on 3 machines and 105 on another.

Looks like the files were deleted or scrambled before they could be sent out.

Hey! Welcome back!
Just in time for the weekend and for the nagging to start that it's difficult to upload, impossible to download and reporting? I haven't seen it be done yet. ;-)

I got cran/raspberry.
Most of the log jam of uploads I had are sent. With luck the recovery for 48+ hours down will be rapid.

I hope the UPS's were able to shut everything down as gracefully as possible.
