http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php?userid=7800916 looks very suspicious out to me, at least host http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=392869.
Downloaded 1604 WUs and the 1604th deadline was 1st of December!

Happy crunching

But that's not the really interesting part... with all those WU's, and the oldest sent date of 29 Nov 2004 (received date being 1 Dec 2004), I find it interesting that host 392869 was "Created 8 Dec 2004 12:48:31 UTC". The computer received and returned results well over a week before it was created.

Now that's FAST, I gotta get several of those computers, number #1, here I come!

Seems we may have a violation of the maximum download amounts here, too, unless host 392869 has been reset many, many times, on several days. Boinc@hellas has nine-hundred (900) WU's downloaded (18 times the 50 WU per day maximum) at various times on 2 Dec 2004 (due various times on 16 Dec 2004). He also seems to have something like four-hundred-thirteen (413) WU's downloaded at various times on 3 Dec 2004 (due various times on 17 Dec 2004), eighty-eight (88) WU's downloaded at various times on 6 Dec 2004 (due at various times on 20 Dec 2004), one-hundred and four (124) WU's downloaded at various times on 7 Dec 2004 (due various times on 21 Dec 2004), for that same host, host 392869.

No wonder the rest of us can't get credits for the work we have done. I suspect the best part (most?, all?) of some 1525 WU's will not be returned on time, therefore delaying results to other users by yet another two weeks. I doubt any single-CPU computer, especially not a GenuineIntel 731MHz Pentium, will do 900 Results a day.

Cheers,

Stephen

The weasel (Mustela vulgaris) is a carnivorous mammal of the family Mustelidae. It feeds mainly on voles, rats and mice. The colour is a deep brown above and white below, and the body is snake-like allowing the animal to worm its way through dense undergrowth and into the holes of its prey.


Timon is a Cartoon Character from the Lion King....

Are you guys saying Timon is a Meerkat, and Timmy is a weasel? (BIG GRIN)

Hi guys.
I'm one of the pc owners of boinc@hellas.
the pc you're reffering to are 4 identical systems, merged into one.
(I wondered too why the hell a 730 MHz Celeron had more average than my systems...)

So i guess that there will be no delay to the results (no more than it should be, anywhay).

and sorry for any misunderstandigs and inconviniencies.
