Servers are back on line after Monday's outage

Have been waiting for work all day now....

With all of these power outages I have read about recently cursing the eastern limits of the Berkeley campus I can't help but wonder if Pacific Graft & Extortion has a personal grudge against the university.



B.O.H.I.C.A.

Same for me , Please.
With a RAC of 1000 I do more then 100 WU a day.
CPU work continues, but the GPU is getting bored.

Am I safe in saying that the Seti@Home servers are now down for the next few days? Not able to get any work.

I'm trying to figure it out too, no news on this.. maybe they found a signal ;)

I also heard that funding might have been cut... not sure rumor for now tho

You would be correct. Today they will be doing repairs to the server closet air conditioner. It will take two days ( hopefully ) And probally Wednesday they will do the weekly outage.

When they do get back online expect the pipes to be plugged up for a day or two.

Thank you Jeff: thank you one and all.
That is some really special work!
Just looking forward to reporting a few tasks and maybe collecting some new ones ;-)

I work in a data center as a critical site engineer.
Without the AC working 100% all the servers would crash within an hour or sooner.
The added cost of electricity and AC maintenance to keep the place cool is figured in for most cases. Unexpected AC break-downs happen unfortunately.

Cool Jeff !

In my account it shows that I should have task on my computer
but I don't have task at all..its empty for days already.

Is there a reason that work units download so very slow from Seti?
Downloads run 10 to 15 times faster on Rosetta.
This has been going on for months.
Rosetta downloads at 500 to 1200 KBps and Seti downloads at
2.49 to 9.78 KBps
Am I doing something wrong?

Am I doing something wrong?

I understand the traffic jam after a few days of being offline.

It's a shame that a lot of bandwidth is probably wasted though, because currently I only seem to get partial downloads. Work units download anywhere between 0.94% and 96.73%. Tons are stuck in download, and only a few made it to 100% today.

I also noticed that a lot of workunits (that didn't download btw) are for my GPU with an estimated run time of 2,5 minutes. So if they would have downloaded, it would create even more congestion in a matter of minutes.

Of course I have no idea what is and isn't possible with the scheduler, but wouldn't it be better to schedule a few long running work units after you've been offline, so you don't get bothered by those machines for a few hours and can tend to the rest of the clients?

Wow tons of bandwidth being used! Hopefully it's an influx of new users trying to help out

I keep getting a message. Won't get news tasks. Hoping this will change.
