Panic Mode On (76) Server Problems?

Uploads okay here. Scheduler requests okay when I'm on NNT. When I request work, 3 of 4 time out, then I get lost tasks when I do connect.

I understand and expect things to be poor after a multi-day-long outage, but past few days have been atrocious. Normal experience for me is periods of downloads < 1 KiB/s which often stall after a minute or so, alternating with (lesser) periods of downloads ~15 KiB/s. Uploads and scheduler responses consistently speedy.

In contrast, the past few days have been long periods where downloads stall after less than one second and even uploads stalling too, plus scheduler requests hitting time-outs regularly. The only counterpart is brief periods where hosts might get downloads at ~30 KiB/s, but with scheduler responses so rare, those downloads don't do enough anyway.

Any ideas what's going on this time around? As I said, I understand that post-outage recovery takes a while, but the few days after the outage were actually better than they have been recently. Judging from the countries of the recent posters, the network issues don't seem to be location-specific.

Edit: I experience what Fred remarked about the lost tasks as well: when scheduler responses do make it back, it's usually with lost tasks that never made it the first time.

Uploade are slow or take several tries
Scheduler requests time out and try again and time out etc.....
Reporting worn fails for the last six hours (cc_config set at 250)
Three hours of work left

Other than the usual giving downloads a nudge it's been plain sailing at this end.

Someone could be kicking something. It's 08:40 Monday Berkeley time, the server status page is blank and the crickets have flatlined.

Looking like Bruno barfed.
