Yes, we need more bandwidth to fully sort comms difficulties, but Matt has proven that proper server configuration can also go a long ways toward fully utilizing what we now have.

I totally agree whatever tweaks Matt made has made a huge difference in schedular comms, I still need a Proxy to download AP's but can usually do without for Sched and upload/download MB's No need to switch back and forth either as Schedular now answers fairly reliably with the shorter timeouts of my
Proxy.

Can someone please give Matt a pad of post-it notes (any color but canary yellow)
so he can leave tips in case he goes on tour :-)

Thank you again Matt

Yesterday, the UPS that runs one of my crunchers, the Uverse modem/router, and the radios for my radioreference.com feed, suddenly decided to take a nap. The UPS log shows nothing. It had some event 3-4 weeks ago, then it shows program start yesterday when I turned everything on. I have no idea what happened.

Anyway, the other cruncher, not on that UPS, built up quite a pile of uploads in six hours. Once it was able to reach the internet again, (and here's the point of this post) it sent them all in pretty fast. Then it reported them and asked for more, was resent 14 ghosts, and downloaded those almost as fast as the uploads. So everything was good around 1730 CST. (However, a couple hours later, I looked again and it had a couple of new downloads that were stuck.)

Sitting on my butt while others boldly go,
Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri.

Looks like Seti is not the only one that has panic modes.
Seems like Boincstats was down sometime yesterday or last night.
Was still down early this morning, but they're back now.

Yep - don't let the team head for them thar hills until it comes back up again!

It seems to have done a "Dead Cat Bounce" and is on the rise again......

---

Uh-oh.....35 minutes trying to report, so far.

Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive!

Uh-oh.....35 minutes trying to report, so far.

I've noticed some problems too...

It dipped, but came back up.

I still have almost 1800 WUs stored......all I can get. And that's with 9 crunchers online.

Interesting, these dips.
In fact the blue line seems to be suffering from hiccups, judging by the last few hours.

The the blue line of the cricket is falling again...

Prepare for the new "normal weekend msg": project servers may be temporarily down.

Agreed. One of my hosts got through about ten minutes ago, with a few to report, and got 15 new ones in return. So far, so normal.

But the 'sent' time in the database looks like this:

9:08:15
9:08:13
9:08:11
9:08:10
9:08:07
9:08:05
9:08:04
9:08:02
9:07:59
9:07:57
9:07:55
9:07:55
9:07:54
9:07:52
9:07:49

Normally, all the tasks in a batch have the same timestamp, or maybe there's a difference of one second. Now, it seems to be taking two seconds per task. That's one sick database.

All tasks for computer 6910484

Looks like Blue line rise again, Maybe a servers hipcup? or the watchdog awake?

It´s working now. But if you see the graph with atention, on the last 12 hours, each some time the line drops for few minutes and rise again, that´s is not normal.

And it's weekend again. Scheduler request failing time after time.

-Offtopic- How is it possible that some people have a 200 WU cache, while mine is 100 max? I,ve tried different numbers for work and additional work cache, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I,ve searched the forum, but i could not find any topic about the subject. Is it because I do GPU work only?

Yes.

You can get 100 for CPU plus 100 for GPU.

I am not even try to figure this out....

No problemos here.
I got all 1800 tasks I can get. The kitties have been sniffing 'em out and crunching 'em down.

The chinks in the upload bandwidth on the Cricket are a little worrisome though.
