Yeah... but that was earlier I think and at about 21:00 Berkeley time the graphs were down to less than 30Mbit/s. And I don't think they turned the databases at midnight on for some short period, in which such amout of WUs could be generated.

While the Science databases are offline, the BOINC master database is still up, and the scheduler and upload/download servers are online.

Any Tasks returned as "Error while computing", "Aborted" or "Timed-out" should still be available for reassignment to crunchers until two "successful" results for that WU are returned.

Cataclysmic drop in RAC atm despite constantly producing (I know I have because SpeedFan log shows constant temps).

Looks like the validators may be running again, but still no new work being produced, yet as noted network traffic is maxed out.

Dito as my Rac is approx 30 % down ! This isweakley to mildey disapointing because my willingness to help is = my competative nature and constant pull towards higher achievement. RAc drop is the same for all of us< I think so its an equal playing field ?

However we do the best with what we have resource wise. Its obvious SETI is under resourced and so this month I plan to donate, who knows it could make a difference.

Best me

Tasks RTS: MB:10 AP:0

The AP db is online, but not the main db. Perhaps they are online & will show on the next update.

Work will soon flow again. Splitters running and all databases too.

I started getting work requests filled with more than 1 or 2 about 10 minutes ago. Granted they have only been 10 or 12.

"Flow" may be a bit of an overstatement, but I've got some allocated, at least.

Yipee! I see PaddyM as the new science database! It's great to see it working!

Only BOINC databases, Astropulse Science database, and upload/download servers online.

Still working on the transistions, i guess.

Hi, I wasn't sure where to post so I'm writing here.
I keep getting a single file that tries to transfer:
27ap12ad.2303.12030.9.10.169_0_0
I've tried to shut BOINC down and restart it, I've restarted the computer (including a cold boot), and I have highlighted the file and clicked "Abort Transfer" (received a message that says "Are you sure you want to Abort this file transfer) and clicked "Yes".
But then the file tries to download again.
I'm not sure if it is a problem on my side or on the server side.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Martin

Martin,
What happens during transfer of that file?

Does it just stop for hours with no message like "Retry in 4hr", or a project backoff message like "Project backoff for 17hrs"? If so these are normal server side messages. Two choices here, either let them eventually download, or use the re-try button to force them through.

Reloading BOINC will not cure the problem, indeed it might even make it worse.

Hi Rob,
The file seems to start downloading and then it disappears from the "Transfers" list as if it had downloaded successfully.

I seem to have figured it out. I deleted a cuda fermi file named:
27ap12ad.2303.12030.9.10.169_0

This listed the filed as "Aborted" and then I "Updated". After the update, the problem disappeared. LOL, only took 5 hours to figure this out (all night long on my day off).

Thanks a lot Rob. This community is great and if anyone else has this problem, at least I'll be able to help or if they catch this post.

Sleepy but successful,
Martin

The validators & assimilators appear to have caught up, and the file purgers are almost there, and database queries are, if anything, lower than normal. Yet the replicator continues to fall behind.

I noticed that.
Looks like more tweaking required.

I've been having trouble reporting tasks, scheduler contacts keep timing out, and have have had to limit max_tasks_reported to 20 to get them reported,
