Ya know Rev, you gotta chill a bit. OTOH, he does have a point about not getting WU downloads... since the "work started flowing again", I haven't been able to download a single file from SETI Central... On one computer, I need a full set of files, on others, I just need WU's. He just needs to realize (as I do...) that computer projects, run on a shoestring, will sometimes have major problems... . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

This is a carry-over from "linefeed" - this was happening with 5.15, also. (it just wasn't as noticeable, due to the WU's processing in less time) . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

On one computer, I need a full set of files, on others, I just need WU's. Very true. He just needs to realize (as I do...) that computer projects, run on a shoestring, will sometimes have major problems... At least you can admit that you need to realize something. Many people would rather delude themselves into thinking they already have the answers. |

Anyone have an idea what is going on I have 60 or so WU stuck in the downloading state since 2 AM EDT. Prior to that I ran out of work then it started the downloads but they are as I said stuck.

Same here...downloads stuck on all machines ( old and new ones )... Last night I had 63 stuck in the download state. I just checked and now have 11. Give it time ... they will come. |

I had one that wouldn't download. Since my two completed units had uploaded and been acknowledged, I increased my "Maintain enough work for an additional" setting to see if I could get a couple more. They downloaded immediately. Then, I aborted the download of the one that was stuck, so that my computer stops asking for it, and went back to my defaults (always connected, one day of additional work). |

if my ISP was down as much as you guys I would have been out of business year ago!! So much for patience as a virtue. If you paid these guys as much as you pay your ISP then your rant might have a little validity. As you pay ZILCH to them except when the mood strikes, they darned well work a heck of a lot harder for each dollar than your ISP does. Why not tithe to SETI to help increase their funding so they can staff up and work with only new equipment? |

simply 'stay connected' and let Berkeley do it's thing - it takes it's time (for the time being) - but OH . . . what the heck uploads / downloads are doin' THEIR thing and all by themselves . . . @ least here they are BOINC Wiki . . . Science Status Page . . . |

Here's an interesting message: 8/14/2007 7:19:57 AM|SETI@home|Message from server: (reached daily quota of 2 results) I checked my preferences and don't see any thing about a daily quota? Also, my project status shows no comms for 20+ hours.... Any ideas? |

Here's an interesting message: The daily quota is not a preference. Each cpu is limited to 100 units/day. And is decreased by 1 for each error. You have lots of download errors. The good part of this tale is that the quota is doubled for each successful returned unit. Andy |

Thanks for the info. I've been running seti for a while and have never seen that message. I have had many, many download errors the last few days. So I'll just wait for the comms timer expire and see what happens. Thanks for the fast reply! |

What will happen is almost certainly another 2 errors, and another 24 hour wait, repeated ad infinitum until/unless you get to the bottom of whatever is causing the errors. The couple I checked said: app_version download error: couldn't get input files: <file_xfer_error> <file_name>setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe</file_name> <error_code>-200</error_code> </file_xfer_error>, which suggests to me that a firewall (hardware or software) is blocking the downloading of the new executable. That's a first place to look, anyway: post any further problems in Number crunching and you'll find lots more people ready to help. |
