I dropped out of Seti a couple of weeks ago when everyday or two an uploaded result got "lost" and was listed as an eventual "timeout" in my result listings.
It was never an AP result but I found this rather disturbing.

HTTP errors on downloads !!!

As long as the HTTP errors don't cause DownLoad errors ;)

Normally a result can't be lost.

You had 'validate errors' in your overview?
Or how was it named?

Or it came back after deadline?

Or which problem?

If this WU is one of the ones you're talking about, could you please go into the stdoutdae.txt file in the BOINC folder and get the info in the log for when this task was downloaded, and uploaded, as well as any info that may have a bearing on that task.

I have a feeling this was a "ghost" that never really made it to your system because of a connection failure. If it is a ghost you'll notice around the time this task was supposed to be downloaded that BOINC reported a connection failure or something along those lines with no record of the task.

Just in case you don't get to it before it gets deleted the info to make a search of the log file with
Name 20au08ag.4001.96811.12.8.35_2 (this is the task id)
Sent 14 Oct 2008 23:06:36 UTC (you have to adjust this to your time zone)

I think you are correct...at that time the message indicated the server was down for maintenance and that ID is not found anywhere in the log. Thank You

Every Tuesday between ~ 18:00 - 22:00 UTC the servers are down for maintenance.
But you don't need to be afraid.. no WU/result will be lost.. the upload work in this time.. only the report will be little later..

Haven't been able to download for around 4 hours. Uploads work.
Anybody else have the same problems?

Just had a look at my log- 2 stalled downloads, for about an hour or so now.

Downloads appear to be down, then up, then down. I'm on dialup and it's a bit tough to get work through. Hopefully it will be working well again very soon.

One has downloaded OK, the other is still stalled. Times out after a second or less.

Have an AP Download pending for 15 hours.
Anybody else having download problems?

Don't see any problems on the server status page.

---

Yes, same here, but not with AP units, just ordinary ones. Good job they'll be in soon. Does this bode well for the long US weekend?

---

Something's broken.
Getting "No work from project messages" & the occaisional ":couldn't connect to server".
Outbound traffic is (relatively) light, but there's heaps of inbound.

And I'm getting this:

But I'm patient or rather the Cuckoo Clock Bird is. :D

I too had this around 30 minutes before the last message was posted, then I got two downloads.

Later downloaded one unit and upload one AP unit

The blockage appears to have cleared for now; although the inbound traffic is still very high for the amount that's going out.

So there are 194000+ S@H Enhanced results ready to send and I'm getting the message "No work is available for SETI@home Enhanced"??

I think not...

Also getting:

[Edit]Uploads seem to be OK though.[/Edit]

I had trouble uploading one MB unit and now getting
26/11/2008 12:10:40||Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.
IT could not connect to server, is there loads of short WU being uploaded and my timing is out again?

No, there's not a whole load of short work at the moment - this time, the servers (or the relevant bit of the relevant server) seems to be genuinely down.

The only way your timing is out is that it's currently 4 am in Berkeley, and Matt should be tucked up in bed without his kicking boots on.
