Panic Mode On (77) Server Problems?

Not that we really need to start a new thread now, but I just feel like it.

Upload server is definitely having problems today.

Yellow feathers not coming from me...I can't send or receive anything. :)

Rather interesting choppiness on the upload bandwidth shown on the Cricket.

That saw-tooth pattern is always a sign of a rough time.

I pressed the Retry-button on my top-most task in the Transfers tab a couple of minutes ago.

It responded with a project backoff of 10 hours. Now it is down to 9 hours 30 minutes.

I guess there will not be any more tasks today.

Everything appears to work, no problems downloading, reporting and
uploading.
Sometimes a number of retries are necessary, but it gets tru.
When downloading 10-20KByte is a normal speed for SETI.

It doesn't work as well as it could, but good enough for me. I get what I need, both here and on Beta. I'm only doing 5% of my work here though nowadays, 95% is dedicated for Beta.

There's plenty of crunchers here on main, and Beta need all they can get, in order to be able to release new apps to main, before we're all grey haired :-)

I'm only running one computer. Using 2 cores of an old Q8200 CPU for CPU tasks, and 2 cores feeding a single Mid-range GPU, ATI HD7870.
Look at the RAC folks, and ask yourselves why it beats so many multi GPU monster computers :-)

My BOINC have problems to upload and download easy WUs at SETI@home and -Beta (since a few days).
A few retries are needed for complete.

And .., the last WUs at -Beta was download errors, because of:

Itz crazee man crazee.....



This morning I looked at the number of tasks in the queue for my main cruncher - exactly 2000 pending, a little low, but nothing too far adrift to worry about. This evening I get in from work and have a quick look, and scroll down, and down, and down the list of tasks being downloaded. And the queue was in something like a 4 hour back-off... Time for a quick look at the number of tasks pending - it is now just shy of 2900!!!! I guess during the day the servers have burped me about 1000 tasks - allowing for the approx 100 I would expect to be done during the "working" day.

Now that's just plain crazeeee. OK a fair few are shorties for the GPU, but most look as if they are "fairly normal"

Oh well, such is the logic of BOINC and the servers


Uploads still taking an age, but at least they are struggling through just now

Indeed, it's been a while since I stared moaning again but after 4 days of only shorties (who take less time to process then to download) my cache is down to only 5 days of work on my main rig... Can't remember being this low since before the summer.

Ah well, the boys are probably sorting things out as I write this - as it's monday morning in California - so let's just wait and see.

No hard feelings :-) it's a volunteer project and the work they pull off at the lab with the resources they have is just fantastic.
