I shut Boinc down and restarted, now all is good. And downloads are now successful. No idea on how the machine got its eyes crossed. The term "go figure" comes to mind. Have a great weekend! Cheers!

So I do a reboot when that happens. Must be the electrons get stuck somewhere in the ethernet card:) Glad you solved it. [/quote] Old James ID: 1483119 ·

Have a great weekend! Cheers! Robert When we have an server issue. Like the recent upload server problems. This does seem to trigger a memory leak in BOINC and then can lead to weird issues. Often when I see issues on my machines boinc.exe is using more than 50mb of memory. Sometimes it is a client that doesn't want to do transfers anymore, or I just can no longer connect remotely to the client. So I just give the machine a reboot and then it goes back to being it's normal happy self.

It's becoming a bit of an issue. Hopefully the splitters will keep chugging along so there'll be some work available when we're able to download again. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1483144 ·

I thought that one of the benefits of moving the servers to the co-location was that it was always people there, who could deal with issues like this. Rebooting hung computers and things like that. Obviously that was not one of the services the project pays for. Agree Sten-Arne - it seems that this is not the case :( ID: 1483176 ·

Have noted a problem with downloading work units. Have had this difficulty with about 40 work units, this evening. Have set to NNT, for the time being. A small snipette of the event log. Would these messages indicate a server problem or an issue with my machine? 2/28/2014 23:00:16 \| SETI@home \| Started download of 22my13aa.31648.1703.438086664207.12.136 2/28/2014 23:00:18 \| SETI@home \| Giving up on download of 22my13aa.31648.1703.438086664207.12.130: permanent HTTP error You are running 7.2.39.

At least backup projects will be happy. ;-) Not necessarily. Einstein were already struggling under the load. Note Bernd's comment about the public launch of Android having an effect: although each Android device doesn't need much bandwidth once it's crunching steadily, the initial application downloads for each new connected device add up to a significant volume of data.

Ker-splat. There goes the upload server again, and with it the SSP updates. Yawn. Back to bed. SSP stuck over 5 hours ago. Probably another hour before anyone in CA is awake enough to even remote in, if that's all it needs. Computer is still making contact with the scheduler, though.

CoLo facility is staffed 24x7 to prevent these outages... guess it just hasn't been noticed (or someone's nodded off... lol.) I have seen outages resolve in the wee hours before so it usually works. Edit: OK... sometimes. :^) ID: 1483229 ·

They need to fix the problem not just restart the server andwait for the next problem apears. Probabily what we actual need is a way to comunicate directly to the colo staff to call their atention so they could take some action to restart the server. Probabily the servers are in a set & forget configuration, with nobody cheking them. ID: 1483230 ·
