Every couple of weeks, despite the relevant servers showing as running, a glitch prevents uploads from clients. Really, it's not a serious problem, as work gets uploaded eventually. For the credit pigs, you just upload a heap of work very quickly, and get a record number of creds for that day. Panic mode off? ID: 436441 ·

Went back to stock Seti apps, same problem.. then back to the Chicken again... was about to dump everything and start from scratch when I checked here. When we finally figure it all out, all the rules will change and we can start all over again. ID: 436491 ·

Looking around the Server Status and Cogent Link graphs I can see no reason for a failure to connect. > > Mine starts to upload and goes to retry immediately. Dear lord This is typical of the Error 403. Your PC will keep the completed WUs on hard drive until it is able to connect to S@h and upload them. They will not be lost unless you abort them. Just be patient. When the problem is resolved, S@h will begin to accept uploads again, and you will still be credited. During this time, you MIGHT even get downloads from S@h, so your PC continues to crunch! :) Since there will be a backlog of completed WUs to report, it may be an hour or two before all uploads are cleared and validated. The time taken to do this will depend on the time the "outage" lasts. Since it is the weekend, this may last until Monday morning in Berkeley. For those who might not know, you can increase the number of WUs in your "cache" by adjusting your prefs. Under General Prefs, set "Connect to network about every" to 3 or 4 days. This should normally give you enough work to keep your PC crunching through all but the worst outages. If your cache DOES run out, consider attaching to another project, to keep your machines busy. Once the outage is over, you can set your "back up" project to "Get No New Work", if you so wish. :) ID: 436502 ·
