I'm seeing the same thing you guys are - Scheduler time-outs, them come back 5 minutes later and get through, and pick up the ghosts from the earlier contact.

First tries at downloads time out, second or third time they come down like greased lightning. Must depend on which download server I hit.

A couple days ago, I set the host with the new GT630 to NNT for Einstein because I wanted it to actually get some Seti done so I could see how long it was taking 2 at a time. So I check on it today and find it doing nothing because all the Seti downloads are stuck. Grrrrr.

Seeing that even babysitting it wasn't going to get me Seti work as fast as it could be finished, I turned Einstein loose again.

Now I want to know why Einsteins that are due on 1/12/13 and estimated to run in 5:32 are running HP ahead of the one Seti I managed to get that is due on 1/11/13 and estimated to run in 21:32.

Meanwhile, my i7 suddenly had a surge of successful downloads. It got everything and asked for more, and was resent 20 ghosts. Then another 20 ghosts. Then I discovered a typo in its hosts file and fixed it. Now it's moving downloads in little bits at a time (no networking pun intended). Maybe I should take out that line in hosts. [edit] Or change it from georgem to vader.

My upload timeouts began about Wednesday and got worse day by day. Noticed that my RAC rose and rose from Dec 5th until Dec 27th time point. I am getting work unit limit reached even on my little i3 notebook without dedicated graphics. Nothing is working here anymore. Am switching to alternate project GPU Grid and Rosetta @ Home today. Have tried proxy servers and no new work setting used during that very bad set of scheduler/server problems from November to early December time period. This last two + days feels as bad as the last meltdown.

It's still sometimes taking me around 5-10 minutes to complete a simple file upload. Once that is accomplished, the rest seems to work fine. If you are working on 20-40 minute long tasks, as myself, it's not that much of a problem. First step is to Fix the Upload Server.

The splitters are working better than they have for months, the assimilators are finally keeping up.
And it appears the Scheduler is no longer giving errors, it's just a shame it's not possible to upload and almost all Scheduler requests result in a timeout.


EDIT- and once again for some unfathonable reason, setting No New Tasks increases the chance of not getting a Scheduler time out. It still happens, just not as regularly as when trying to get work.

All the problems started when 4th and 5th AP splitter went online. That was the only visible change after the maintenance outage.

This is more or less the same I wanted to say in my post:

Easy to test, isn't too complicated! I think it's worth testing it!
Edit: And it will not increase anybody's power bill.

FWIW Uploads are uploading with an occasional Retry
to help it along , downloads are downloading,
the GPUs are staying busy with SETI. Rosetta and Einstein
on the CPUs. I'm only running 1.0/.01 for Cache.

Maybe a smaller Cache works better in the present circumstances.

Best to ween the kitties off the weed in the new year.....

Ya know.........the kitties really don't care anymore.
They have given this poject EVERYTHING for many years now.


Yes, it pisses me off when things turn to sh/t.
I want my caches back.

It really does piss me off right now.. But, when the smoke clears, as it always does sooner or later.

You know who the first one back on track is?

Me.

Me. So, nobody best be calling me any names at this point.

As I recall, during the other 'Psychotic Server Episodes', the Uploads continued without any problems. It never took longer than a second or two to complete the upload. This is what has been going on since yesterday, around the time the Multibeam Shortie Storm began;

The way I see it, the latest problem began when someone decided to release a Shortie Storm on a malfunctioning Upload Server. The Upload Server is still Borked.

Even before the shorties, uploads & the Scheduler were both stuffed.
At least ince the shorties haved stopped arriving things aren't as bad as they were- i wouldn't say they've improved as things are still seriously screwed. But they're not as bad as they were (uploads still take ages & i'm still getting them backing up & Scheduler requests still timeout although the number of errors has dropped).
