Now having problems uploading getting connect failed messages or project servers may be temporarily down messages.

---

Yes. Upload problems look pretty general at present. Downloads have been going well.
No alarms on the server status page, though.

---

Have a look at the graph in message 825377 (this thread, 31 October). We're up against the top limit on downloads again (Matt found some AP data in a cellar somewhere) - you can never get uploads through cleanly when the pipe is full of downloads. Just try getting into a football stadium when a match has just ended.

must be unlucky with my timing then, now have 4 waiting to be uploaded even though one says 100%. Will wait they will go up sometime hopefully today.It is amazing that this message can get through but not my wus

The forums are on a different server than the up/downloads.......thank goodness.
At least then we can still compare notes about what the workload servers are doing........

Oops......
According to the server status page, Vader has left the building.........just in time for the weekend........

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

Just wondering... Why is it that the servers always go down during the weekends? It cant be a mere coincidence. Any comments?

Uploads and downloads seem to be ok, however, the pending credits list is building up. I am up to 22k now. Not really bothered though. This is not the first and this wont be the last, hehe...

Thinking about it, this is similar to the wedding vows: "To have and to hold, from this day forward (the day we signed up for seti), for better for worse (success in finding an ET signal), for richer or poorer (in terms of credits), in sickness and in health (server status), to love and to cherish (continue to crunch), till death us do part (hope the death is only on our part and not seti)."

I thought something had gone wrong, when a few results were reported at around 0630 local time and no credits were returned after about 20 minutes. Oh well, its better than having WUs sent out to a 3rd machine. Perhaps the reason that the servers seem to go wrong at the weekend, is because they miss people being there!

BOINC Wiki . . .

The only part of Vader that is currently running is the download server, which does no good as there are no units to be sent out.

I was just looking and while doing so the ones with two results ( validate state: initial ) got validated some minutes ago.

Just wondering... Why is it that the servers always go down during the weekends?

Servers and other equipment ALWAYS work good while skilled technician (or man with sledge hammer) is nearby.

Looks like some one is working on it at the moment.

The Cricket graph jumped to maximum download rate about half an hour ago: that's 7am, on a Saturday morning, lab time. Yet more unpaid overtime for the boys.

From Server Status page, [As of 15 Nov 2008 20:40:14 UTC]:

Results ready to send 1,042,055

Somehow, I don't think so - there were none two hours ago, and I got "no work from project" at 20:23:18

Actually, it is possible the status-page is correct...

For one thing, for performance-reasons the Scheduling-server doesn't check the database directly if any work is available, instead it looks on a shared memory-array the Feeder sets-up. Not sure how large this array of work SETI is using, and neither if Scheduling-server looks-through the whole array for work in case can't find any, but it's possible the array is "empty" one second, until Feeder re-fills the next second.

Another way to generate tons of work in that seems very little time is, the Transitioners is responsible for triggering Validator then enough results is reported for a wu, but also to generate new "Tasks" in case of errors, timed-out tasks, or newly-split wu's has been added to the database. For some reason all the Transitioner-processes wasn't running for many hours, but everything else was. Meaning, Scheduling-server happily sent-out all work, and as available work dropped-below whatever limits is set, the Splitters fired-up splitting new wu, and continued splitting new wu's until reached the "disk full"-limit.

Since it's much faster for the Transitioner to generate some new database-fields with the Task-info for each wu than it is to split a wu, many hours of already-split wu's can give a huge spike in available work in fairly short time then Transitioners was re-enabled.

"I make so many mistakes. But then just think of all the mistakes I don't make, although I might."

Whatever, just before going to bed I checked the server state page and everything looks back to normal. Not that it's important to me cause my puter is only working 6/24 at 50% and next astro pulse wu wil be monday or tuesday reporting :-)

Anyway hail to those or the one that took care of it all today.

Looks like they changed around a few things as well. Bruno has taken over a lot of Vader's tasks now.

Something's still not quite right.
System shows plenty of work available, but i've been getting "No work from project" messages for the last 4 hours.

Been getting "NO WORK FROM PROJECT" for most of the day. Almost out of WUs on all machines now.
