Hi! i recently installed boinc and i've got some problems on downloading the setiathome_5.27_windows:intelx86.exe and some other files. and the downspeed for the other files has been about 1 - 5kB/s 29.12.2007 03:28:27||Starting BOINC client version 5.10.30 for windows_intelx86 29.12.2007 03:28:27||log flags: task, file_xfer, sched_ops 29.12.2007 03:28:27||Libraries: libcurl/7.17.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8e zlib/1.2.3 29.12.2007 03:28:27||Data directory: C:\\Program Files\\BOINC 29.12.2007 03:28:27|SETI@home|Found app_info.xml;

Hi, I have exactly the same problems. New user and downloading files are slow and sometimes files cannot complete. We are both running Vista so I might do some more digging on the help site in case there are some incoming ports that need to be open or such.... Ta |

The download problems originates with Seti site. The Internet pipeline is saturated with work requests. For about a week and a half the work being provided is of a variety that can be processed in only 20 to 40 minutes instead of the more usual 1 to 2+ hours. This as more than tripled the demand for new work and the ready to send send queue has been sitting at near 0 (see Server status page) since work can't be generated fast enough. This will hopefully improve once we get past this set of recordings and we get back to WU that require a more normal processing time. As for Vista, I would suggest that you install to a different location like C:\\BOINC rather then default C:\\Program Files\\BOINC. Vista security does not like programs writing data in the Program File directories. You can just exit the Manager then move the entire BOINC folder, then reinstall to the new location. This particular problem should eliminated with V6.X. This version should fix many of the incompatibilities caused by Vista. Boinc V7.2.42 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470 |

Hi all, I have this repeated problem after install, I adjust the proxy properly, and have a 3.488/256 Kbs ADSL connection, I use to use some p2p progs (not when BOINC works) and in the case of bittorrent it use to download at more than 120 Kbs average, don't undrestand why I have 0,00 Kbs in the transfers window. I apretiate some advice about, I look around where similar matters were commented, but still don't find a clue. Many thanks and regards to the teams. :) 01/01/2008 01:58:10 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.72 01/01/2008 01:59:24 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.72: http error 01/01/2008 01:59:24 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 1 hr 28 min 32 sec on download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.72 01/01/2008 02:00:28 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe 01/01/2008 02:00:58 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe: http error 01/01/2008 02:00:58 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 3 hr 2 min 13 sec on download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe 01/01/2008 02:01:04 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe 01/01/2008 02:01:18 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll 01/01/2008 02:02:08 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe: http error 01/01/2008 02:02:08 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 3 hr 40 min 21 sec on download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe 01/01/2008 02:02:14 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe 01/01/2008 02:02:34 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll: http error 01/01/2008 02:02:34 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 43 min 11 sec on download of libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll 01/01/2008 02:03:28 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe: http error 01/01/2008 02:03:28 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 1 hr 50 min 12 sec on download of setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe 01/01/2008 02:13:53 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of 09no06aj.19289.145592.14.6.217 01/01/2008 02:14:23 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 09no06aj.19289.145592.14.6.217: http error 01/01/2008 02:14:23 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 34 min 10 sec on download of 09no06aj.19289.145592.14.6.217 01/01/2008 02:15:27 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.85 01/01/2008 02:16:28 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.85: http error 01/01/2008 02:16:28 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 3 hr 46 min 56 sec on download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.85 01/01/2008 02:17:46 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of 09no06aj.4765.145183.11.6.240 01/01/2008 02:19:08 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 09no06aj.4765.145183.11.6.240: http error 01/01/2008 02:19:08 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 43 min 48 sec on download of 09no06aj.4765.145183.11.6.240 01/01/2008 02:26:01 p.m.|SETI@home|Started download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.89 01/01/2008 02:27:02 p.m.|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.89: http error 01/01/2008 02:27:02 p.m.|SETI@home|Backing off 3 hr 24 min 2 sec on download of 09no06aj.4641.145183.10.6.89 |

This will hopefully improve once we get past this set of recordings and we get back to WU that require a more normal processing time. I'm hoping you're correct about v6 correcting some of these problems, but I don't think this problem is related to either server backlog or cache problems (as was noted on another post somewhere). This is a new problem having occurred just in the past few days. The download gets stuck on the setiathome_5.27_windows:intelx86.exe and other related program files (before it can even download tasks). I have BOINC running on 6 machines, and the only one it's having any kind of problem with is the Vista machine. I've had it running on this particular Vista machine for several months, but it disconnected me from the project and won't download these files, presumably after MS did some type of update. I'll try the location change as you suggest, so I'm hoping that will have some positive affect. Thanks |
