Cheers for your replies, I've just checked up on the Einsteins, and LHC units that got uploaded overnight, and they validated fine, even the ones the machine was working on, as it's mainboard failed, how's that for scientific robustness?
On that basis, as much as the science is different, I'll assume until proved otherwise, that the seti@home work is in 'good hands'.

Bye all,

You're doing better than me. I've had 4 results validated in the last 9 days.

Seems to be a 7 day lag, just validated the first of my 5th Aug results.

A person who makes no mistakes, creates nothing.

Does anyone know if seti@home work is being validated at all, or is it just that the backlog is moving, but, it's slowing down all the time, so the number of WU's pending just gets bigger? I haven't a clue myself, as I've not really had my attention on the status page.

It must be validating, albeit slowly. I've been getting sporadic small increases in credits over the last few days. Of course now I see on the home page that they are having network problems that is hosing up the web server and schedulers. When it rains it pours. :/
As a benchmark, at the time of this posting, my total credit was a whopping 2561.58

Not me guv, honest!

However, I've just experienced the dangerous occurrence of having a thought (ouch), if the validators are so backlogged, it could well be quite some time before I even know if my trusty cpu, and it's bright shiny new mobo, actually co-exist together and crunch properly, although I suppose that my returns to LHC and einstein would give me some idea.

I got the machine up and running again, in time to start crunching and returning some einsteins that had got near deadline, some pre-failure LHC's are still in progress, as is a climate prediction unit with only 1 and a bit days on the odometer

Apologies for holding up anyones validation

AAH HA! So YOUR the one messin' things up!!!!

Apologies for holding up anyones validation, not that it really makes much difference at the moment.

This ought to take some pressure off Matt and the gang. We now have someone else to blame for not seeing credits rack up quickly. -=[wink wink nudge nudge]=-

This might be a bit moot point at the moment, but, I've just replaced the mainboard on one of my hosts to resurrect it, unfortunately, I couldn't get the same model as previously installed, so I had to do a repair install of XP. Anyway less of the twaddle; when the host came back up, before all the relevant updates, etc, it munged 16no03ab.2904.785.354830.237 and 16no03ab.2904.785.354830.53 results, while attempting to download before it wasn't fully ready.

[edit]
Damn! Found another one 16oc03aa.979.10945.984656.208, I've changed the links to WU names, to save anyone having to click them :-)

I'll have to try and wangle a faster cpu now, the new mobo is a lot better.

Cheers and beers!
