It looks like it will take someone on the staff resetting something. The Cricket graphs have gone south.

Likely won't happen. In the morning, everything goes offline for two days. I guess it's a way of "ramping down" before the outage.


Also, I don't know if you knew about this, but some time back (year+), Boincstats changed some things around and you have someone else's stats in your signature. You should head back over to boincstats and get the updated code for that.

Thanks, I have images turned off and had not noticed.

And from the way the crickets appear... it looks like an early shutdown.. but SSP froze some time ago.. so things broke just in time to be shut down for two days. I'm just going to go ahead and set both of my machines to "network activity suspended."

With the air conditioning change over, plus other maintenance, plus dealing with what is likely to be a rather large backlog, plus trying to troubleshoot whatever problem is troubling at the moment, seems like we can expect that the collective dust won't settle until the end of the coming week.

well, I guess this is it... Servers are dead already, by the time it's morning at Berkeley they'll pull the plug for AC maintenance.

But at least I got enough WU's for Seti Beta to crunch, so no complaints here.

See you all on the other side ! Bye

I've Einstein all ready to take over, so I'll see Y'all on the flip side of the LP...

Backup projects took over all my GPU's yesterday, my 2500K this morning and my Q6600 by tonight but my old E6300 maybe lucky enough to make it through.

Cheers.

Looking at the build-up of Results Ready to Send and the fact that scheduling and download servers seem to be imminently on-line, I feel a log-jam coming on...

All I want to do is report 92 wu's, so that I can remove a damaged video card...

The scduler and download servers are green again....

24 ghosts already on the only machine that's managed to make contact (but no ACK, of course...).

Ow. My downloads hurt so much. 15 APs and counting. Longest-running one is at 43 minutes and is at 1.19%. Going to be a long night.

The 92 wu's reported here, switched to cpu only.

I just wish they'd left astropulse down until 1 mil+ rest of us got some work!

This has got to be the worst traffic jam in a long time. Even after the previous outages (expected & not) downloads would generally complete, even if it took a while. After this outage it's taking lots of retries & Network activity suspended then Network activity available again just to get things to download.
They start off ok at 5-10kB/s, then just slow down after 5-10 seconds & stall. Add to that lots of Scheduler timeouts & HTTP service not available & i think it's going to take a fair while for things to settle down.



EDIT- the downloads are no longer stalling, now it's taking several minutes for data to start downloading after the download technically started. Then after 5-15 min it will then time out after sporradically downloading.

I have my max of 100 tasks,
Stuck in download limbo, Grrrrrr.
and 54 of them are partly downloaded and impossible to move,
I wonder if all these partial downloads that we all have help jam the system up in any way ?

and 54 of them are partly downloaded and impossible to move,

Network activity suspended, Network activity available. Give it 5-10 min. Then repeat. Over & over again. And again.

Across my 6 crunchers (1 main and 5 Beta) I have 300+ stuck d/l's 130 of them partly downloaded!!

PS Now 430+ d/l and 170+ partials!!

"A liberal and proud to be"

I'm wondering if the network is using some type of traffic shaping. I've noticed that usually when downloads start, there is a burst of download speed then after 10-15 seconds it comes down to a crawl and may stop entirely. I would really like to know why download traffic is so ragged in response. I understand the network is very congested with excessive demand, but downloads coming to a complete stop and then timing out are very frustrating - even a download of 1k/second would let you know that the network is still alive.

Hey guys/gals - CALM DOWN!!!

This Project is about the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). NOT Credit Totals nor 'Bragging Rights'.

How about letting the servers & network sort themselves out.

Repeatedly hitting the Update Button probably makes the situation worse! (I should probably follow my own advice)
