There are huge problems with upload/download most probably because the servers are being clobbered with requests. So please have patience.

Fuzzy, I think there is more to the problem at the moment than the constant requests from the hosts. If you look at the Cricket graph, throughput dropped abruptly to almost nothing at about 11:30pm last night. Something needs a kick start.

User that read the news on this forum should in the boinc manager set the network activity to suspended for a while. That might help the server a little. I suspended all my computers for 24 hours.

Here's the daily Cricket graph: It would be realy useful to have a link to this on the Server status page. Cricket graph time is Berkeley time (UTC -7 hours). Very good suggestion! Would be helpful to have it readily accessable when trying to scope out what is going on when problems arise. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Very thankful that they got this close. I guess this could be one silver lining in the situation...the WUs in progress stats on the server status page are now over 1 million. So by getting WUs split and assigning them to the hosts without the downloads actually allowing the crunching to commence, at least they should be filling the caches so when things are hopefully reset tomorrow, they have a leg up on the backlog of work requests.

Only SETI should be suspended, suspending network activity stops ALL projects from up or downloading! Suspending a project (SETI for example) does not stop the Boinc client from trying to upload your finished WUs. The only way to stop the continual attempt to upload is to disable the client network activity. The unfortunate side effect is that you can also now not connect with any other project you may be running. This may not be a desirable option for many users. ID: 566910 ·

Very strange- according to Cricket there is no network traffic, yet i noticed on the server page that there are way more results in progress than there were last night. Enabled network access again & got enough to keep me busy till tomorrow. Very little network traffic. But enough to contact the server and request new work. The server assigns the work to the host, but then the host cannot complete the download and actually start to crunch the WU. So, much of the work that shows 'in progress' has not actually been downloaded to the hosts so they can work on it, but it has been assigned to the hosts, so it shows as being 'in progress'. If they fix the up/download bottlneck tomorrow morning, things should get cookin' pretty good again. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ID: 566957 ·

Sincerely I don't think you can. You can transfer that Folder to another PC and replace the current project folder and run the WU's. However, that folder has to be returned to the PC it came from to upload the WU's. ID: 567038 ·

It has worked for me and at least 2 other people. It is fairly advanced but it does work, I would not reccomend it for those unfamiliar with editing XML files. I would also recommend setting SETI to No new tasks until the server load decreases, probably a few days. Sir Arthur C Clarke 1917-2008 ID: 567044 ·
