As posted on the Panic thread:

I just sent and received ~19k seconds of work. All WUs went through at normal speeds.

Hmmm...

Interesting. I have been having the other problem today.

I can get new work, but I can't seem to get rid of the completed stuff without multiple retries.

Yeah.. we can collect up to 100s of gigabytes a day. We'd need to be transporting data at (very) roughly 20Mbits a second 24/7 to keep up.

We don't have that spare bandwidth, and Arecibo surely does not.

About 10 years ago the ENTIRE connection between Arecibo and the rest of the world was a single 56.6 modem.

It's much better now, but still not quite up to state-of-the-art speed.

I was having trouble getting mine to report as complete, and/or upload for a while... My bet is the network connection is being taxed beyond it's capacity, which doesn't bode well for the Holiday weekend. It will figure itself out eventually...

BOINC is looking for 1 second of work which usually gets me 1 WU. I am getting no Wus even though the server page says that there are plenty. I checked my preferences and it says to accept all applications. Is something down that I don't know about?
