Another question about what seems to be quirky client behavior. Often my computers have completed work sitting there with status "Uploading" but nothing is happening. When I look at the transfer tab, it shows "retry in 3:45:03" or some such thing, and if I click "retry Now" nothing happens except it changes the "retry in 5:45:34" or whatever. I look at server status and it shows all the servers up and running. Why didn't these results upload when they first completed, and why don't they upload when I "retry now!". I can't imagine that uploading results consumes so much bandwith that it has to be so restricted and kluged. I have the client set to "return results immediately" already, and sometimes that actually works. I monitor the results pages to make sure all the computers are OK and crunching. When this happens I assume they are crashed, but often this is not the case.

I'm getting the same stinkin' response on my finished work, along with the notation of a 403 error. I sure wish someone would connect a pager from the servers to a Seti manager so they know when there is a problem. Seems like they are always having problems!

I've noticed that too...I just got downloads on one of my machines...But the uploads aren't going anywhere.

PROUD TO BE TFFE!

If the upload server is busy somehow (or crashed in some odd way) the client will not be able to connect for the upload. Normally this is supposed to happen at the first opportunity (immediately if you are connected to the internet, the first connection you allow if you are not connected now).

If you are on an intermittent connection, you should disable BOINC network access before you disconnect the modem.
