Glad it working for you guys.

Can't upload, can't download.

In fact one machine does not even want to get more work when it is supposed to have at least 5 days worth and does not even have enough to get through to the next morning.

Sigh...

Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope.

Upload and download are a no go.

Occassionally 1 will start but not finish.

Downloaded a big stack of work overnight. Now my work machine won't upload but it just downloaded one.
Really seems to be random luck at present and patience is the key. It WILL come right.
<fingers crossed mode>

Question for my knowledge.

On the Cricket graphs is "in" data really in to Seti or is backwards (data out)because of network configuration and the "point of view" ??

Well, my machines both have work this morning. This one has a pile of SETIs, (mainly 'cos I set it to keep more spare work, upped it from 0.25 days to 1 day, I think).

The other one is chewing through 2 astropulses. Looks like it's going to be about 100 hours per unit, depending on unit sizes of course. SETI uints in the old days were uniform lengths, but now they vary. Both these astros started off predicting 45 hours, but one has gotten to 38% now in 38-odd hours, with 40 the "to completion" now saying 40.

That's on an Athlon dual-core X2 at 4600 (runs at 2400 each, I think).

One of my machines just got a big bunch of work units after a long delay, but its having trouble downloading them. Keeps getting HTTP errors and postpones the download to a later time. Once in a while a couple of them get downloaded, but the transfer cache is not clearing up. Same case with the uploads. Anyone else facing this same issue? The server status shows all ok.

Luckily two of my other crunchers managed to get a total of 3 AP units are happily crunching them.

Yes I am having the same problem I always seem to get this when there is an outage or their weekly work. We will just have to sit and wait until it clears up again ( hopefully )

You've sussed it. "In" is out and "Out" is in. Router POV IIRC.

The cricket graphs are produced by the campus, and are their view of the Seti servers in the space science labs.

It depends on which version of the Cricket graph you link to....
Graphs for gigabitethernet2_3 is inside out....but
Graphs for gigabitethernet5_1 shows things as they are from the outside world....in is in and out is out.

The server status shows 132,711 results ready to be sent out as of 40 minutes back. Meaning the splitters are catching up with the demand. Unfortunately, the uploads and downloads are still encountering the HTTP error/HTTP service unavailable.

Few of my crunchers are in real need of some work units :(

Thanks, Mark. 5_1 is one I have never encountered before.

Whichever one you look at, though, it's all maxed out ATM so very little is going in and nothing is coming out. But it is allowing the RTS queue to build a bit of a buffer pending the inevitable onslaught.

Fingers crossed that the logjam can be cleared during today's outage.

Hang in there.....
Several days of pent up demand have the servers and network traffic running as fast as they can to send out work....it is going out.
But uploads seem to be almost nonexistent. Once some caches get filled and network traffic starts to slow down things should smooth out.....I have gotten a few work requests through and filled, slowly.
Keep an eye on This Cricket graph...
Bandwidth out is currently about 93Mbit/second...

Just to make life more difficult for the servers, the Result turn-round time shown on the Status page has dropped by about a third, indicating that what work is being sent out is largely shorties. Don't try holding your breath waiting for the traffic to die down!

I've got about 30 trying to upload. It would appear that about one in six succeeds eventually ATM (ratio of "Ready to Report" to "Uploading" in Boinc Manager).

Heigh-ho. They'll get through eventually.

Yep, short WUs when they get here plus the occsasional Astropulse. Now 24 hours into my first Astropulse with an estimated 56 to go.
I suspect this Little and Large effect is slowing things down a bit. BUT, things ARE moving. I have plenty of work and WUs do upload eventually, even I get very little credit for them.

C'est la vie.
