No work

I'm sorry I should know better than this creating a new thread for an obvious question but why have all 3 of my machines refused to successfully download any proper cache of work over the past 48 hours? No changes have been made, the crickets seem ok, I'm on 7-day cache, not set to NNT accidentally......... Jst saying not-requesting-new-tasks all the time. Like the DCF server-side's got corrupted for me.

Do you have any tasks suspended or running in high priority? Either of these will prevent you from downloading new tasks.

Dont feel bad, my nVidia cruncher isnt getting anything either......:(

Reset to web-based-prefs just in case - still getting:

16/07/2012 19:53:31 | SETI@home | Temporarily failed download of 09jl12aa.10884.50853.12.10.148: HTTP error
16/07/2012 19:53:32 | | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

Painful downloads. Have been for days. Must have bene why it ate all its cache.

PINTOO.

(Pleased I'm not the only one ;)!)

Have you tried using a proxy server? Without it was not able to download enough even for my low-end machines, with a proxy I almost don't get any HTTP errors at all, even if the downloads are still slow.

Tried one I put in months ago. I shouldn't need to keep doing that though. Flowing a little better now. Still no explanation. Annoying when it's not understood. It hurts RAC + overall yearly goal.

Thanks to Juan for http://www.freeproxylists.net/ in the fast-downloads thread - starting to experiment now.

Here's a theory: I wonder if you get a different set of WUs going through a proxy than you would if you didn't...................

I did have 1 download error last week... Otherwise my transfer queues are pretty clean with speeds around 130k.

My boxes connect fine I just get "not downloading new work". I'm down to two day's worth for my CUDA cards.

You will be assimilated...bunghole!

It might have to do with I have a satellite connection..but I'm am gettin error up the butt.

Satellite connections are subject to disruption from solar flares. Been quite a few of them the last week or so. Some of the cable TV channels have had issues, too.

Well whatever the issue was....the errors stopped about 6 hours ago. All the downloads that were hung-up came through and then some. I got around 2 thousand tasks, but I could still use another couple more to get back to where I would like to be. Like 1800 more Cuda tasks for one of my I7's. The 172 it's chewing on now will keep it till supper time today if it's lucky. With all the power outages and such I like a weeks worth a work in the cashe at all times.
