some people have bashed the project so many times I wonder what they are in for ? Is it a competion who has the highest RAC or are there some people still here who know the core surpose of this project :

Finding E.T. some day in the future

If the project goes cold for a while due to circumstances beyond the control of the volunteers working at Berkeley ($$$$!) and you don't like it why don't you just move on... No hard feelings ;-)

I remember last year around this time we had a mega outage of over a month didn't we and most of you still came back...

I also have to work with limits, proxy's and a lot of "manual care" for the project, my RAC has also dropped about 4000 but it's the end result that counts.

Have a wonderful sunday anyway wherever you are on our tiny planet !

You forget something, the origin of the problem is because they use the resources of SETI and try to run AP on that, so if they keep the focus on the main project Finding E.T. nothing like that could be happening.

The is crystal clear, the actual configurarion (founds, staff, bandwith, server, router, who else, makes no diference) can´t handle the 2 projects runing at full capacity at the same time something must be done quickly.

Astropulse is a new type of SETI. It expands on the original SETI@home, but does not replace it. The original SETI@home searches for narrowband signals, as does a conventional AM or FM radio. Astropulse, on the other hand, listens for broader-band, short-time pulses.

In addition to ET, Astropulse might detect other sources, such as...

If admins deserve "bashing" then it's this: they could literally take 3 minutes of their time and write a front page news post, mentioning timeout/network problems, so volunteers would know it's not problem on their side.
Right now, we have people posting their problems all over the place in every subforum, reinstalling boinc, rebooting, (un)plugging network cables, looking for proxies, etc...

And just to make things even better how about mini work units when you do get some work. I bet that helps the scheduler overload!

The ghosts created November 4 which were shorties have now missed deadline. I've just been looking at the task list for a host which had 1091 tasks "sent" Nov. 4 yesterday, now has 792 errors for deadline missed.

That doesn't detract from your main point, which is that the unmanaged and unregulated attempt to run both halves (of the same project) on the same inadequate infrastructure at the same time is counter-productive. We have passed the point of diminishing returns.

Thunder is out of work (again)...

Thunder is out of work (again)...

In 13 hours, only 1 request out of 15 completed. In that completed request 51 completed tasks were reported and those 20 lost tasks were sent.

You can increase your chances of getting work by setting No New Tasks, getting your completed tasks reported, then set a small enough cache so only one or two tasks are resent at once, then scheduler requests are more likely to get through,
increase cache level in 0.1 day increments as work is resent.

All right, all my active crunchers are now in mode "Set & Forget"

No "No New Tasks", proxies, manually update. No any kind of user activity.
