If they give one sentense then people will want two. No matter how much they give, it won't be enough.

Besides that, do you want them to just rehash the obvious?

"Yes we have problems and yes we are working on them."

I would rather them wait until the know something or have a plan formulated before they say anything.

Your post is moot. They put some news on the front page and that's enough for me. You must think there are an awful lot of immature children here, crying for mother's teat when she is way too busy ironing and washing.

Why do you think it's so hard for the developers to do the right thing for those of us who want to know what's going on (apparently not you, and that's fine)? A one sentence news item on the front page . . . that would be enough. If you don't want to know what's going on, why do you keep posting comments that try to make my desire to know sound like such a bad thing? What did I do to bother you?

Finally, at about 3:30PM (Pacific) on the front page:

"We are still trying to figure out if there is a software reason for the connection drops but are looking at a hardware solution for the short term. We are working to get a more powerful data server machine online. There are several parts to making this work and, barring any show stoppers, we hope to have it online in the next couple of days."

Thank you Berkeley.

I have all the "appropriate" boxes checked in My Account. Since you did not post this in response to any other post, I am afraid I don't know who you are talking to, or what it means.

well, he posted it in reply to my post, but i think he *replied to the thread* by mistake...?

Got now 300+ Wu´s waiting. This whole crap droped my rac by 850+ ... it sucks. :-(

As i can see it now it´s not 850+ it´s almost a drop by 1000+ cobblestones.... :-(

We know it has a problem, we are working on it, it will be fixed sOON............;0)

Blank Reg,
I just read this same line that you wrote in the thread called "This is NOT fun anymore", but there you start the post by saying it is from the "devs". Are you in contact with the developers? Are you a developer? If either if these things is true, then please use your influence to put some information on the Front Page for the rest of us slobs!

See sig....

I have sigs blocked.

how do you block sigs? I havent seen that option anywhere?

and very few people are getting close to return deadlines.

Speak for yourself - some of us have remote PC's that are now being starved of WU's as the completed WU's aren't being uploaded at all and no new WU's are being downloaded...!

PS Did anyone check the transitioner - now up to 6 hours !! (Was 2 hours earlier today).

Timbo

Am just glad I'm attached to other projects, so I can switch them over, having suspended SETI (hoping to reduce the network congestion - or am I just allowing others to grab WU's that should be coming my way !)

We have been trough this a couple of weeks ago after a rather long outage.

this isn't an outage. in an outage, it helps us to know when servers might come back online to plan accordingly. if we know how long it might be, a user can use it to upgrade hardware, or upgrade boinc/seti software, or tweak performance settings, or schedule when to come home to hammer the servers for fresh work, or just shut down completely and save power for a few days. it's also nice to know that the staff is aware of the problem and are working to resolve it.

they already acknowledged that they are aware of the upload situation, nothing else affects us. what does more information here do for you? nothing. we all have work, the results will eventually be uploaded and credited, and very few people are getting close to return deadlines.

First of all, we have a conversation in English, which is obviously not my native language. So please don't take my postings apart word by word. My vocabular is somewhat limited. Just imagine the forum language would be German. You are very welcome then to have the same discussion in German. Okay? Please try to get the meaning of the postings.

Back to the topic:
I complain about the fact that even when the forum is full of threads discussing the current situation nobody in the Lab give out the tiniest bit of information, even now, when it is mid-afternoon in California. And this is not good. I don't know , why. But they depend on us volunteers. We do it for fun, but they do it to earn their living, at least some of them. The project would collapse without the crunching power of the users. Or do you think, they could also raise the money to buy 200k+ computers and replace the users. I doubt it for several reasons.

Where did you get that information? Who is it from? I've checked the Front Page and Technical news, and I've read lots of posts here in number Crunching but I have not seen that.

See sig....

So long Paul, it has been a hell of a ride.

Park your ego's, fire up the computers, Science YES, Credits No.

I think the best is, to keep on crunching and wait till this is fixed.....

Hello Berkeley! It's now after noon on Monday in California, and the last news we heard about the slowdown was from the front page, "July 15, 2005: The data server is continuing to drop connections, which is very unusual this long after an outage. We are working to figure out why." Now, I didn't expect you to work on this over the weekend, but I'm sure you have examined it today. Based on the interest shown on the message boards, there are lots of folks who would like to hear what's what.

See sig....
