I ran TCP Optimizer... I disabled TCP Auto-Tuning in Win 8... So, everything should be "optimized". Still, DL speed is painfully slow, stalls, backs off, transient HTTP errors; you know the story... AP units can take more than a day to download.... So my GTX 690 is actually spending more time idle than working... But I'm trying to look on the bright side of life. I'm not starving, and Cherry Coke is here (Norway) to stay! All those moments will be lost in time... Like tears in rain... |

I ran TCP Optimizer... Have you restarted it and checked to make sure that the settings took? Cheers. |

I ran TCP Optimizer... I've tried different settings/tweaks and restarted every time, but with no luck. I've also tried different firewall settings, but no luck there either. A question: I've chosen maintaining enough tasks for 5 days, and up to 2 additional days. I never get tasks for anything near 5 days. Also tried 5 days, up to 0.1 days. It didn't make any difference. Does anyone know why I never get as many tasks as I've opted for? If relevant; here are my specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50 GHz 16GB RAM 250GB SSD HDD 1TB SATA 3.0 HDD (Data are stored on this drive, with 100 GB available to BOINC) Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 4GB PhysX CUDA (Driver 314.07; CUDA works fine) Windows 8 Professional x64 Edition Internet bandwidth: 10 Mbit Obviously, I don't have the computer knowledge as many on this forum, so I apologise in advance for any ignorant questions. ;-) Any specific config file suggestions for my system? Cheers. All those moments will be lost in time... Like tears in rain... |

Any specific config file suggestions for my system? Wait for whatever is wrong with Seti to be sorted out. I got back from work to find downloads queued up & project backoffs in force. Hit Retry now several times, and after about 2 minutes some of the WUs started to download- at less than .5kB/s. They had been downloading at 4-5kB/s. Something, somewhere has jammed up in the network pipe, even more so than at any time in the past. EDIT- Just had a look at the graphs- AP ready to send is climbing like a rocket- so that will keep the network tied up niceley. Database queries numbers haven't updateed for hours- spomthing there is borked. There are more MB splitters running than there were, but still not enough to meet demand when the longer running WUs become scarce again. It's not looking like a good weekend at this stage.

Has about 30 downloads in back-off this morning, hit retry and they all downloaded without pause at same sort of speeds as before. Also a machine I had set for NNT on Einstein I switched to SETI-Beta and it downloaded 45 tasks with no pause. So it seems even with the "fix" some people have more problems that others!! |

Well, after getting them to download & the next few eventually downloading by themselves, they're all starting to backup again. Retries, disable & re-enable network access & the TCP tweak all having no effect. It's borked. Grant Darwin NT |

It might be worth checking which IP address is being contacted, with http_debug. I'm seeing (and cricket is showing) data flowing normally some of the time, but other downloads stalling. Sounds like one broken download server out of two? |

While AP's are coming out in such an uncontrolled fashion we'll just have to put up with the pipeline being overwhelmed (hopefully they will not load any new files for the AP splitters to feast on until the MB splitters catch up with those all ready loaded). But my earlier worries in the day here so far have not happened with the upgrade that I did and both my rigs here have been on the limits all day. Cheers. |

I've had my hosts file set to use just .13 for a while now. EDIT- since my earlier post all those downloads that had built up have cleared themselves. Downloads are still really, really crappy (1-3kB/s where they had been around 5kB/s before) but they are eventually downloading again- at the moment. Grant Darwin NT |

Sounds like one broken download server out of two? Or maybe the load sharing is working better now, so the good server is occasionally being overwhelmed on those occasions it's been given more of the load? Grant Darwin NT |

I ran TCP Optimizer... TCP Optimizer 3.0.8, which I believe is the latest, is not compatible with Win8. They are working on one that will work with Win8, but it might be awhile. This means that you will have to open Regedit and make the TCP1323 Opts change manually by changing the DWORD to a value of 3, save and reboot. Read this message http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71002&postid=1344159 to find the actual location. Hope this helps a little. As for your cache, there are currently limits in place, 100 work units for the CPU and 100 work units for the GPU. Bruce Bruce |

As for your cache, there are currently limits in place, 100 work units for the CPU and 100 work units for the GPU. There is nothing server side right now that should prevent anybody from getting what they need. Even with all difficulties involved, I have 9 rigs online, with 1,796 WUs cached out of a possible 1,800. The TCP opt is important, as it has worked to allow download of the big AP tasks. Those will kill workfetch if they are eternally in backoff status. Otherwise, I suspect there are other problems in play. Don't blame the servers just now.

Are we still Panicking over a Shorty Storm? Because if we are, now might be a good time... |

There was a shower this morning (my time - Melbourne Australia) but it backed off a bit during the day ... most of the wus now are 2:31 as opposed to 1:51 earlier ... I am seeing quite a few wus come through though and having implemented the TCP tweak I really haven't had a problem across any box ... However, I am deliberately driving myself into shaping to see what the impact will be with the tweak in place ... |

Slow going with the downloads the last couple of days. Tons of work, just having lots of difficulty getting them fully downloaded. |

Have you implemented the TCP tweak? |

Have you implemented the TCP tweak? Negative. The explanations I've read here on the forums gave me a headache trying to understand them. I gave up. |
