This is the only project that I know of that places so much demand on the sanity of a human mind.
My RAC is like a yo-yo and now the biggest problem is keeping download units downloading.
A proxy server again is needed to maintain a download without it timing out.

We must be nuts to keep going on Seti but here we are. I am starting to talk to myself just a bit too much. MSattler has the right idea. The kitties prevent insanity. I think...... Who knows eh!!

Just a thought considering the server problems we are having is to stop new members for a small amount of time.
I can imagine the up roar about it but it would seem to me that for a short amount of time that would help with the server problems

I have also noticed a huge amount of people have dropped out from my team.
The Assimilators used to have 46 active members and now it is 26 active

Thats almost half so if the other teams are having the same thing happen then our members have already dropped by half.

I hope all this mess can get sorted out soon.

So we are going to be having this same problem for months eh!!!.

Wow, at least we have an explanation but I am not sure I like the answers.
Couple months of this an I will be ready for the hospital... LOONEY BIN

I'd hate to be the guy interviewed on the news after a positive signal is verified saying "yeah, I used to be a part of that, but I got mad and quit".

Brother Cruncher.

If we actually did find ET do you think for one second that the Government will allow us to know about it.
We can't even get them to admit that we already have been visited MANY, MANY times

Their have been too many civilizations here that don't fit the bill of being NATIVE to this planet. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
I for one don't believe any of us are really from this planet. We are all ALIEN

These are just my conclusions.
If we want to find ET then turn the telescopes around and point them at us

WTF is going on

As far as I am concerned why the heck is SETI making its most dedicated people having to skirt around their issue with proxy servers just to get 200 tasks then get whacked with limits.
If the AP units are causing the big blockage then stop the AP all together until this gets sorted out.

I have been getting work but my GOD the trouble to get them is just incredible.

If it is like this again after next Tuesday outage then I just might be taking a different project to heart.

I have seen several people just uninstall BOINC over this issue. PLEASE FIX IT

What get me here is after fixing the connection issue with a proxy server I am now having to check on this machine every four hours as I only am getting enough work to keep it going for four hours before the LIMITS kick in.

I have been running Ghostdet and two days ago I was getting 54% ghosts tasks
Yesterday was 15%
Today 0% with 200 tasks on board.

They are all mostly shorties though.

Seems to be working itself out.

Now everytime I get a work request in the servers will only do ONE TO ONE
Report one, get one.

I hope this gets solved really fast as my patience is wearing thin as most are

We have built the fastest computer system in the world, lets keep it busy

Well I have put this machine on a http proxy server and going like a bat out of hell except every task is a GHOST task
All resends, every one.

Here is the proxy address I am using
201.147.20.245:80

Not sure where it is from but it works.

Now if I just get by the limits

Tried that route as well. It works ( SOMETIMES)

I surely hope this problem gets ironed out.

This problem is enough to give any devoted Seti cruncher an extreme headache.
Not only do I have a big problem reporting tasks but the limits are seriously hindering this computers output.
I feel like a child being punished for being naughty.
I am crunching too many tasks so I had better get some limits imposed on me

I am really just venting at my displeasure but I can see why so many big time crunchers have opted out of Seti and gone to other ways to devote computer time.
I feel that Seti is the most important project of them all.
The reason is obvious. We find other life forms then we give planet Earth peace.

It would unify the entire world to know that we have other life forms here and I believe that information would stop the world from fighting within itself.

Please can the powers within seti please find the problem and fix it.
We are all getting frustrated at least I am for sure.

Since the new Boinc 7.0.38 came out the Ram problem has been resolved.
Also the new Video drivers 310.33 have solved a lot of problems with watching movies while crunching GPU tasks at the same time.

It would seem that these server troubles started right when the New York disaster took place.

I am not sure if this is a direct problem to what is going on with the scheduler but I hope it gets fixed very soon.
The limits imposed this time around make it very hard as just reporting finished tasks is a problem as well as getting enough work to feed 6 cpu cores and one GTX 460 for one day when I have am supposed to have enough work to keep all happy for 3 days according to my prefs settings.

Boinc 7.0.27 up to Boinc 7.0.35 has a Wacky Nvidia GPU memory Bug where eithier the Total GPU memory and/or the Available GPU memory is reported wrong, Boinc 7.0.36 has a partial fix (for Available GPU memory only),
to get a version with the Total GPU memory fixed, eithier wait for Boinc 7.0.37, or join the Boinc Alpha list, look through the the September posts and get the private drop with the fix.

Claggy

Thanks Claggy
It's just a matter of observation as it is not really causing problems so I will wait till Boinc Confederation has 7.0.37 out

They always have the newest betas way before Seti even sees it.

Thanks for the explanation.

Hey all

I just installed 306.97 and now my Boinc version 7.0.36 is showing far too much ram on the video card.
I have a Zotac 460 gtx 768 mb ram that is now showing 4 gig or to be exact

10/26/2012 10:41:50 AM | | NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 460 (driver version 306.97, CUDA version 5.0, compute capability 2.1, 4864MB, 615MB available, 1142 GFLOPS peak)
10/26/2012 10:41:50 AM | | OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 460 (driver version 306.97, device version OpenCL 1.1 CUDA, 768MB, 615MB available)

4864mb ram installed I wish that were true. It must be showing system ram which is 4 gig

Obviously a bug.

I have the same box and the same fan
CM storm is a good one but no fan for front top can be put in so the DESKFAN keeps me cool

No there is none still in list I reverted back to 7.0.31 and no problem.
I think that was a time exceeded error as they would take exactly the same time as other wu but when they finished they erred.

That was it.
Thanks you all. Man what a relief.
I thought I cooked my card running it in this weather.

Vlars ran up the time by a huge margin.

Thank you, thank you, thank you GOD almighty.

One thing I don't have right now is 200 dollars for a new card
