Still getting nothing but Scheduler timeouts. Grant Darwin NT |

I've set NNT and limited <max_tasks_reported> to five, and i am managing to report tasks, but not on every attempt. Claggy |

I think they need to put a throttle on the number of APs that can go out at one time. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

The pipes sure are clogged up. Im downloading at a whopping 0.82 kbs. Wish I could report work. [/quote] Old James |

Since the MB's crunch for long periods without any AP's available, perhaps the AP's should be released more slowly to relieve the congestion. |

Overnight one of my systems was able to report some work. Once. Every other attempt has resulted in a Scheduler timeout. My other system has had nothing but Scheduler timeouts. Something is seriously wrong. Grant Darwin NT |

Very strange.... Although recent attempts to report work have resulted in the following set of messages: 01/11/2012 18:12:03 Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 01/11/2012 18:12:03 SETI@home Scheduler request failed: Timeout was reached 01/11/2012 18:12:05 Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. Tasks are being reported as I'm getting tasks returned, validated and credited, I'm not getting the "returned receipt" message to clear them from my hosts...

One of my hosts is getting nothing but scheduler timeouts and http errors. Uploads work fine. The only difference between this and other host is it's on a different network using different ISP. Scheduler requests DO get through to server, but no response is received. This host has now probably collected more "lost tasks" than it could ever process in time. Edit: All my tasks suddenly got marked as "Abandoned" on server (all of them!!) but I didn't touch the boinc in any way and it still has its cache and crunches! http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=5323998 Brilliant. |

My last successful scheduler request was at 5:24 am EDT, also got resent 8 lost tasks when that happened. Before that it was 6:58 pm EDT on the 31st with failures in between and since. Currently have 22 Ghosts out there, since the 5:24 am update. "Life is just nature's way of keeping meat fresh." - The Doctor |

No problem with reporting here. Of course I'm not reporting more than one or two at a time, being a very small cruncher. Two AP's downloaded, but I can't get any more even though the server status shows there are 7000 available. I think they've been put on hold at the servers. The thing is, larger tasks ought to be better users of the bandwidth, as you have less time establishing contact with the client and so on. For some reason SETI@Home doesn't gain that advantage. |

Certainly something amiss in the server closet - the query rate has climbed to about 3000/s instead of the usual few hundred.... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Very difficult to report here, and the more tasks to report the more difficult it is. When I did manage to report, the only new WUs I got were shorties. Combination of APs and shorties makes for a perfect storm and everything grinds to a halt. |

Starting to get a bunch of APs allocated to me. Download speeds increased by a factor of 10 for me sometime today to mid-20KB/sec range. Getting a lot of "resent lost task" to go with all of the "timeout was reached" messages. Unrelated, but involves my crunchers.. Both of my UPSes (APC 1300, Tripp-Lite 1400) on my desk simultaneously died this morning at 0730utc. I woke up because all of the fan hum stopped (two rigs and a rack-mount 24-port gigabit switch), and there was a 60dB 2.5kHz tone coming from one of them. That was fun to deal with. Now I need 172Ah worth of 12v batteries to get all five of my units (7800VA in total) back up and running. Looks like it's going to cost about US$550. Or.. I can get an APC 3000VA 3U rackmount unit with new batteries on eBay for $550 + shipping. Decisions, decisions. I think I might go for getting the APC 2200 up and running to replace the two that were on the desk. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

Maybe the last 20 hours or something no well scheduler contact. Always: Scheduler request failed: Timeout was reached *new tasks* was enabled. I set *no new tasks* - and then 178 uploaded tasks were accepted from the scheduler server in a bunch (successful report). * Best regards! :-) * Sutaru Tsureku, team seti.international founder. * Optimize your PC for higher RAC. * SETI@home needs your help. * |

By installing a 7.xx client, setting a max report of 10 tasks in my cc_config file and setting No New Tasks. I find I can reliably report. A report of 10 tasks was the most I could go, 15 or 20 timed out. With nearly a thousand task to report, it's gonna be a Looooong day :-) T.A. |

Do you generate 10 new ones to report within that 303-second scheduler interval? If so, it's a negative-feedback loop and you won't catch up. My scheduler contacts are hit-and-miss, and I'm not even reporting any completed tasks. Some of them get a reply in 10 seconds, others reach the time-out period. I am, however, trying to hoard APs.

Luckily the task s I'm crunching atm are taking around 10 minutes to crunch so the reporting is slowly pulling ahead. I'm also helping with a bit of "button abuse". If you have set NNT you don't have to wait the 5 minutes for another "hit". T.A. |

Not that I ever have a huge pile of tasks to report since I'm CPU-only and AP. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

I don't know what happened during the day today, but I come home and the task list on my account page insists I have 2270 tasks in progress. There are actually 431 in my cache. Hmm. |
