I have two pending downloads that are getting http errors. I don't think that is a splitter problem, is it? Indeed it isn't - the splitters are working flat out, and work is being allocated, it's just stuck in the download queue. I'm getting the usual mix of 'http error' and 'system connect', but the cricket graph has perked up since I last posted, and 1 WU (out of about 20) has downloaded. So if the creation rate is 16-17 per second but the "results ready to send is" 0, what does that tell us? That the work is being sent out to the host computers as fast as the splitters can create the WUs, so they can't build up any RTS cache. At least some of the datasets being split right now are producing very short WUs, so the host computers crunch them much more quickly than usual, and look for more work sooner than usual. Unfortunately right now, the download servers are having problems, so although the scheduler assigns the work to your host, the download is having trouble completing and you can't start to process the WUs.

The cricket graphs show next-to-no activity, so the work supply has indeed dried up. The good news is that there was no maintenance outage yesterday - I guess it was deferred because of the MLK holiday on Monday. So the likelihood is that there will be a maintenance outage today, and the download pipes should be cleaned at the same time. ID: 703275 ·

The stats show a very small "results ready to send". Are we still in the weekly maintenance activity? Thanks, Jim ID: 703266 ·
