I'm glad to see it's not just me. Something must be up, I just finished installation to get started, and am getting almost exactly the same message. |

The site says everything is up and running but downloads are not working. Other Boinc projects have consistant problems as well. Einstein at home is now dispensing files that take 151 hours to process. LHC at home sends out work once in a blue moon. Maybe the college kids ought not to be in charge and leave it to professionals. |

The site says everything is up and running but downloads are not working. What messages are you getting in the log? It takes a while, but i was able to download about 48hrs worth of work over a 30 minute period. Some Work Units would download, others wouldn't. After a few tries even the reluctant ones would download. Maybe the college kids ought not to be in charge and leave it to professionals. Seti, Einstien and the 20+ other projects have nothing to do with BOINC other than using it. Having someone else run BOINC would have no bearing on whether or not all those projects do or don't have work. Grant Darwin NT |

Hi i've tryed resting project, rebooting computer. But ever since the server has come back up i have not been able to download anything. One thing to remember when you see these messages is you're trying to DL the new app, it's support, and GPL required copyright files. If you reset and/or detach at this point, you are in all likelyhood just extending the time it will take for your host to get back to work, since the CC will delete any of them you have gotten already, and thus will have to go through the whole process again. Most likely what is going on right now is the number of hosts looking to refill work caches, in addition to all the hosts which need to get new executables is taxing the capacity of the of the project's backend network to handle all that traffic.

They know, and are working on it. FWIW, things seem to be improving slowly, so the best thing to do right now is batten down the hatches and ride out the storm for now. ;-) Alinator |
