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

OK, this version seems to work 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. ********************************************************* 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 ) ********************************************************** installed.txt FOR /F "tokens=2*" %%a IN ('findstr REG_SZ installed.txt') do set InstDir=%%b ********************************************************** seti_transfers_retry.cmd @ECHO OFF reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley\BOINC Setup" /v INSTALLDIR >installed.txt "%InstDir%boinccmd" --get_file_transfers > mainxfers.txt 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. Bruce |

Thanks for getting back to me Richard, I appreciate the help. You need to create only one file: seti_xfers.cmd (or whatever name you like) containing exactly what Richard posted: @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 installed.txt and maintxfers.txt are files that will be created and used automatically by the script, you dont need to create them. |

You need to create only one file: seti_xfers.cmd (or whatever name you like) containing exactly what Richard posted: And you can put it wherever is tidy and convenient - you don't need to go looking for BOINC folders yourself. That's the point. Remember to remove the 'pause' line once you've seen that it's working properly. Edit - since you're running Windows 7 don't put it in C:\Program Files\ or any sub-folder thereof - Windows 7 doesn't like scripts writing data in there, unless you want to run it 'as administrator' all the time. |

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... |

I suspect there are som leftover config from .52 when downgrading to .28 again... .28 use to work better... |

Only running seti ap as gpu project. Try setting the Max additional work buffer to 0.01 days and it should start requesting work. |

Pinging 208.68.240.18 results in 100% packet loss every time. C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts is the only place you could influence it. Otherwise you pick it up from the name using DNS. |

Pinging 208.68.240.18 results in 100% packet loss every time. Alternatively, open a command prompt, and type ipconfig /displaydns Look for lines like these in the resulting output: boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu ---------------------------------------- Record Name . . . . . : boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu Record Type . . . . . : 1 Time To Live . . . . : 127 Data Length . . . . . : 4 Section . . . . . . . : Answer A (Host) Record . . . : 208.68.240.13 Record Name . . . . . : boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu Record Type . . . . . : 1 Time To Live . . . . : 127 Data Length . . . . . : 4 Section . . . . . . . : Answer A (Host) Record . . . : 208.68.240.21 (you need to have downloaded, or at least tried to download, a SETI task within the last couple of minutes for this to work. And if there's too much clutter to find boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu easily, clear it with ipconfig /flushdns first) |

What happened to the 100 wu limit? My P4 has 180 in progress. I just had a look at it and all looks proper to me. State: All (177) · In progress (100) · Validation pending (34) · Validation inconclusive (2) · Valid (41) · Invalid (0) · Error (0) Cheers. |

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. Since picking a proxy that seems to still be working, APs are downloading from start to finish with no interruptions in about 6 minutes for me. I got 30 of them on the 2nd and not a single one had any issues. Should look into giving a proxy a try. I'm using HTTP 165.24.10.8:8080, and "don't use for:" http://setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/file_upload_handler,http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi That proxy was on the proxy list a few days ago but isn't anymore..but it still works, and it allows uploads and scheduler to be direct. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

After uninstalling BM again after have used .52 I now have a working .28 And I do get ap's to crunch. Better speed then before. Still get stalled transfers though. But with SIV auto retry on. Transfer timeouts set to 60 in cc_config.xml and <max_file_xfers_per_project>20< and the use of .21 in HOSTS file I get them.... finally |
