SETI is just back from it's weekly server maintenance down time.

It is likely your BOINC client was trying to connect while eveything was still down. They are back up now so you should see an improvement when the client retries the request.

Also keep in mind that all the front-end servers (web / scheduler / upload / download etc) are dealing with a backlog of requests that built up during the down time - they may take a short while to get back to full speed.

cheers,

Paul.

welcome to Boinc/fora, I admire your Verbal economy, when two will work, why say more :)

same here :(

It's at the head-end.

I say this with firm conviction because all the IP addresses for their server farm (on both circuits) are in my hosts file... ;o)

Stewie: So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?

yes, lots of people repoting this at the moment, in several threads. here's a bit of mine:

Look at the original post dates? Kostian dug deep for this one, at least he knows how to search before making a new thread. good job.

I'm just glad to have another user who takes the time to read before posting messages, too many don't do that.

welcome

You mean we need to know how to read to post to the fora... How quaint!!!

It seems that Kryton is acting up again pilot. You want to smack him for us.

He's not reporting his correct status..

I watched Peacekeeper wars yesterday. I hope they bring it back in some fashion.

CW are you familiar with win98se and it's networking? I have a user who I think has some kind of dns issue/interaction, causing boinc to not respond. It used to happen to me and Walt Gribben had me do something that worked, but that was over a year ago and I just can't remember.

Good luck since Ben Bower is now the CMDR of SG-1? Not to mention they killed off Kar Dargo...

Win98Se sucks OK OK I'll check!!

.o0(dialing up the Q&A gate address now)

aheem, it's ben browder, claudia black, Col cameron mitchell. and I think it was crichton on farscape

DECEMBER 4 (home page)

We are experiencing heavy traffic on our data server. This is preventing some workunit/core client downloads. We are working on the problem.

Ahem..

I know it's was Crichton on Farscape.. I was punnin' you Yes I left out
the R & D in Browder... .o0(Hmmm Microsoft did that with windows too)

So where is this Win98se user? My gate address seems to be wrong.

here She's currently rebooting, dealing with boincs funny way of sticking to the startup menu/msconfig. I haven' told her yet. but something in the network is freezing boinc, but NOT windows. Walt had me disable network access and it would work, then when I re enabled it, it would freeze. i think it was dns something. Ipconfig or some funny flush thing, winipconfig maybe?

Rebooting will flush the DNS Cache. So that is not the issue..

winipcfg.exe on 95, 98, ME.. ipconfig on NT, 2000, XP, and 2003

I too am experiencing problems connecting to setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu. The errors occur sporadically beginning early AM on Dec 4 but have been constant on all of my Windows boxen since around midday (US Pacific) on Dec 4.

I noticed that my Linux box was able to send a result on 12/4 at 6pm, which made me think it might be a problem with the Windows client, so I updated to 5.2.13 but this did not solve the problem.

I also noticed that, on the last 2 attempted results (12/4 at 11.34.16 PM and 12/5 at 12.17.44 AM) there was a long delay and then the Transfers log showed a connection speed of 0.09 Kbps for about 30 seconds before giving up and displaying the aforementioned error.

I'm reasonably convinced that the error is not on my end although the successful uploads from my Linux box seem to be at odds with this hypothesis. I'm seeing a mix of I/O errors and 500 errors so I'm also posting to this thread.

I assume they'll get this fixed reasonably soon but in the interest of contributing to the knowledge base I thought it might be helpful to post my experience as well.

Cheers,

Jeremy
