One system out of GPU work, the other soon to be out of GPU & CPU work. Scheduler still borked. Grant Darwin NT |

It sometimes will timeout, it's not all "Couldn't contact Scheduler" messages. Grant Darwin NT |

MSattler says The limits have not accomplished much.....current situation proves that. I could not agree more. The one thing the limits have done is piss every one off and a lot have again gone to other projects. I will say it again even though the last time I said it I got really bad reactions. As a temp measure suspend new accounts until this major problem gets ironed out. I understand what that means but something has to break other than our patience and the servers. Don't worry though. Piss enough people off and the membership list will go down all by itself and that is not the way to find other life forms in our Multiverses If the limits where raised up to normal then we would not have to contact the servers so much. As it is now with just my machine 2 times a day I have fill my cache of 200 If we got to have our 10 day cache then we would only need to contact the servers once or twice a week That makes sense to me but what do I know Michael Miles |

Things will come good again, eventually, but I'm not going to get panicked about it as I'll just let my backup projects fight it out for a bit of my hardware time. Cheers. |

It's The Twilight Zone. I haven't been able to connect reliably for days. When I could connect all, I mostly would only receive CUDA MBs. Of course I finally ran out of ATI APs. I then tried to switch to ATI MBs, but, they all erred with; 26-Jan-2013 16:40:09 [SETI@home] Task 16dc12aa.22859.9985.8.10.160_1 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file 26-Jan-2013 16:40:09 [SETI@home] If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project. 26-Jan-2013 16:40:09 [SETI@home] Task 16dc12aa.22859.9985.8.10.55_1 exited with zero status but no 'finished' file 26-Jan-2013 16:40:09 [SETI@home] If this happens repeatedly you may need to reset the project.... They worked fine before. I finally gave up and hit the Reset Button. First thing I got was 20 'lost files', all ATI APs. I'm now up to 56 'LOST' ATI APs. The other files I had when I hit the Reset Button haven't even started downloading yet. |

MSattler says Not everyone. The limits haven't pissed me off and I bet there is a bunch of people that don't even know that there are limits in place. I will say it again even though the last time I said it I got really bad reactions. As a temp measure suspend new accounts until this major problem gets ironed out. Until such time that the number of people crunching drops to the point where bandwidth drops to 80% of maximum throughput, I don't think anyone at Berkeley will really be concerned about it. If the limits where raised up to normal then we would not have to contact the servers so much. I don't think so. The servers would probably be even harder to contact than they are now. As it is now with just my machine 2 times a day I have fill my cache of 200 |

The scheduler is FUBAR again. I've been trying since 12 Noon Berkeley time for some GPU units to test my new GTX 660 and get the same response every time: 1/26/2013 4:38:10 PM SETI@home Scheduler request failed: Failure when receiving data from the peer The scheduler needs to be re-booted, in all likelyhood. It's now 5 PM Berkeley time, if anyone had been in the lab, they've probably gone home! . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

The scheduler is FUBAR again. I've been trying since 12 Noon Berkeley time for some GPU units to test my new GTX 660 and get the same response every time: At least you can contact the Scheduler. The response most people have been getting for the last few days is "Couldn't connect to serverr" with the occasional peer error, and the even more occasional actually getting a response from the Scheduler.

I then tried to switch to ATI MBs, but, they all erred with; I think I know where those 50+ ATI APs came from. Apparently those were the CPU APs I had when I hit the reset button. The scheduler decided to resend them as ATI APs. It also Timed-Out my Cuda MBs, that I could use, and resent the ATI MBs that I don't need now that I have 50+ ATI APs. Of course, now I have nothing for the CUDA card, or my CPUs. The ATI card is happy though... |

That`s it, I`m done.....going to dump all the wu`s and go to the other project. I thought Seti finally got their crap together, but apparently I was wrong!!!! Goodbye Seti |

I get these messages, over and over again: 1/26/2013 5:17:31 PM SETI@home Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. But the status page shows lots of work, and the cricket graph seems to show both up and downloading. This is frustrating. It took hours to report my completed work, and now I can't connect even though I'm not requesting new work. |

But the status page shows lots of work, and the cricket graph seems to show both up and downloading. If you look closely at the inbound traffic, you'll notice it's only about 10Mb/s, normally if things are working it's around 14-16Mb/s. The lack of inbound traffic is due to the problems contacting the Scheduler. EDIT- and to edd to the Scheduler problems, and the AP validators falling behind for alsmot a week now, the AP assimilators appear to be not working either; that backlog is increasing at a rapid rate.

EDIT- and to add to the Scheduler problems, and the AP validators falling behind for alsmot a week now, the AP assimilators appear to be not working either; that backlog is increasing at a rapid rate. SSP shows all the AP Assimilators as DISABLED - turned off. I think they have been that way all weekend, if not all week. I have an AP task that validated on Wednesday 1/23 that has not yet been purged from my account page. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Goodbye Seti I understand the frustration, but really... To quit after over 10 years, and to throw a temper tantrum on the way out... Hope he has more success and satisfaction on the other project.

Greetings, Ok, here's my thing: The way I understood what BOINC was, back in 04, was that it was an application to 'set-n-forget', right? Right. Well, since I re-started crunching SETI in December or November last year, BOINC has been anything but 'set-n-forget'. Observe: WUs do not download to my PC automagically. Uploads do go automagically. Finished WUs do not report automagically (please refer to first statement in this paragraph). The only way for the finished WUs to be reported and to download new WUs is to manually hit the "Update" button. I will report anywhere from 10 to 50, or more, WUs and download an equal number after hitting the button, scheduler cooperation notwithstanding. This to me is not very 'set-n-forget'. :( I am also running FreeHAL@home and Asteroids@home as backup for when SETI is hosed for whatever reason. FreeHAL runs automagically, Asteroids does sometimes. I do manually report Asteroids on occasion, but I do seem to download automagically. FreeHAL is truly automagic, I very, very seldom ever have to manually update FreeHAL. With all the above said, it does seem to me to be a software 'problem' with SETI. My better half's BOINC is doing the same thing on her PC. More on her's below... Oh, and here's another thing too. When I report, my Event log tells me that it is reporting so many WUs and requesting more. My better half's BOINC is not doing the same. Her log will say that BOINC is not requesting more WUs. Every time. She is lucky to get WUs at all. I just built her PC which is a newer generation Intel i7 3770 than mine is. Even with on board video she can out do my RAC, when she gets the work that is. I have compared her BOINC settings to mine and they are virtually identical. What gives? By the way, I agree with Mark, SETI needs to loosen their restrictions on us. Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

Is anyone successfully using a proxy? I was getting good results until 3 days ago. Now I cannot connect at all with a proxy and have tried a lot of different ones. Frank |

Sometimes it works with a proxy sometimes it doesn`t. Lots of baby sitting tho. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Things are a bit frustrating right now, thinking the project needs to setup a second scheduler on another server and load balance between them. If i remember correctly BOINC does support doing this. |
