Panic Mode On (82) Server Problems?

Thanks a lot for the information on hosts file. The MVPS hosts file is really useful.

OK, this version seems to work for me.

@ECHO OFF
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\BOINC Setup" /v INSTALLDIR >installed.txt
for /F "tokens=2*" %%a in ('findstr REG_SZ installed.txt') do set InstDir=%%b
"%InstDir%boinccmd" --get_file_transfers > mainxfers.txt
FOR /F "tokens=1,2" %%i IN (mainxfers.txt) DO (IF "%%i" EQU "name:" "%InstDir%boinccmd" --file_transfer http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ %%j retry )
pause

I've boiler-plated in the standard code we use to find where boinccmd lives for testing - that saves hunting for it (I made the test run direct from a Windows 7 desktop).

The 'pause' command on the last line simply gives you a chance to check that everything's running smoothly - if it's working, you should see nothing except 'Press any key to continue...'. If you see any garbage like my last post, then something's gone wrong. Run the .cmd file manually a few times first to be sure, then delete the 'pause' line before giving responsibility to the Windows task scheduler.

A note of warning: Jason has coded this for crunchers who run only the main SETI project. If you run anything else - even SETI Beta - the results are unpredictable, because the SETI project's url is hard-coded into the file, and there's no test (nor does boinccmd allow any test) for which project a 'transfer in progress' belongs to.

I hope that the worst that would happen if you ran the command during a 20-minute file upload to CPDN or GPUGrid would be a 'file not found' or similar error in the BOINC event log, but I don't propose to risk it - SIV works for me.

Thanks for getting back to me Richard, I appreciate the help.
I only crunch for SETI, so other projects will not be a problem. I reworked my files using the info that you provided, but I am still having problems getting it to work. I think some of the problem might be that I have not done anything requiring a batch file or DOS prompt since WFW3.1, so I ask that you bear with me. I might have introduced a syntax error or typo and just can not see it.
Here are the files that I created and placed in theC:\Program Files\Boinc directory.

@ECHO OFF

pause

**********************************************************
When I manually run the retry.cmd I get this error,
'"boinccmd"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am not sure why it is saying that. I then hit a key and the window closes. I would appreciate it if maybe you could take a look and figure out where I went wrong.

Thanks.

Only running seti ap as gpu project.

4 tasks in 2 gpu's and a cache set for 10 days with 9 extra days.

scheduler req says not requesting new tasks.....

ehhh

4 tasks for 19 days of cache.....

anyone has a trick for how to make Boinc try to fill it's cache when running seti??

Newer boinc versions up to .52 does not do the trick.
I run .28

boinc only reqz work after last task is done...

Been getting a few "No tasks sent" messages this morning, even when requesting only 1 or 2 WUs.

That's the way it looks now, possibly these old eyes, although I did look on 2 different crunchers.
As one gets older you lose 3 things, the hair, the eyes and I can't remember the 3rd.

Until we figure out the bandwidth problem, I am going to eliminate AP work from my machines.

366k downloads much better than 8MB.
My 660 kept getting locked out of SETI work because the AP work was getting stuck in backoff and I was already out of MB work.
