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!!

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.

Yes - its the same shape as the cork in a bottle neck :(

- even a download of 1k/second would let you know that the network is still alive.

Now there is a good idea in the makeing, sort of.
How about forceing a max download speed of 5KBs per host ?
Some users have in the past reported that even when the majority of us are having problems or no chance of downloading anything that they still get `good` download speeds,
So introduce a limit to hope to share out what is available.
OK, its a nice idea, welcom to the real world . . . ...

All you guys are not connecting at the blinding speed of .85 kps? I knew I should have waited another day before I opened the gate. Well it will sort out soon I hope:)

So I left my list of AP DLs to the mechanics of BOINC and when I woke up, they were in a project back-off of 18 hours..which started at 24. Time to start button-mashing again. My new longest-running one is at 1:38:22 and is only at 27.33%. Oh, and I now have more of them trying to DL, so the number is up from the 15 that it was last night, to 21. 21*8=168mb at an average of 382 bytes/sec comes out to... 461,153 seconds, which is 5d 8h 5m 53.8s. Good times.

The same hapend here. No downloading here eather util i didnt put proxy address (in my case 190.121.135.178:8080) and get all 200 WU in about less then 1h.
Im still on proxy for about 3h now and download/upload goes normaly.

Same here. I found a really good Proxy last night and downloaded around 70 APs at 15-20 KBps. Very few stalls. I went off the Proxy when I went to bed in case the Proxy went offline. I awoke to a page and a half of stalled DLs with the fastest active one at 4 KBps. I went back on the Proxy and cleared things up with 4 simultaneous DLs at 15-20 KBs, very few stalls. I went back off the Proxy a while ago and now I have 4 new AP DLs working at around 2 KBps with stalls.

When it got to 5 DLing at 4 KBps I went back on the Proxy;

Funny how it works so well with certain Proxies...
