Last modified: 2 Jan 2009, 4:40:28 UTC The download tubes will be clogged, but the uploads should be fine. Afraid not. All that downloading means there's plenty of uploads in the way of acknowledgements etc. Just noticed my uploads were no longer working, checked the network graphs & the download flood has begun. Given the length of the outage, and the large amount of short work lately, i expect it'll be at least 6 hours before i can upload or download. Thanks to whoever went in a got things going again. Yes....thank you to whoever the dude with the chrome plated boots was......I think we should all chip in and get the Seti staff a pair of chrome (or maybe gold) plated steel toes for all their after hours efforts...... I, for one, truly appreciate it..... It'll be many hours before things settle down.......so much work...so little bandwidth...

Probably just as the boys were bolting out the door for an early start to the party. The last man out must have slammed the door too hard :-) Brodo ID: 848016 ·

Last time I really ran this thing strong was well before Seti@Home went to Boinc. Either ay glad the dam has broken I was just getting started really good and everything stopped. Over this time though I have found the spot to give myself a buffered cache of work units so next time this happens I can hold out! Good job guys, Rampage and Lappy are back in action!

I got the time to do some internet surfing, figured out how to install an optimized set of applications and how to setup a cache of work in case this happens again. I also got to do a bit of research on setting up my upcoming farm. So I would give an A+ to the forums being up and a C- because now I'm looking at spending some cash on this fever@seti I got going now!! Traveling through space at ~67,000mph! ID: 848027 ·

Last modified: 2 Jan 2009, 12:58:08 UTC Eventually it does still send some out, though uploads seem to have died. I've been waitng for a few days to get a connection with the server on one of my pc's, and it just hit right now. Some more CUDA and an AP...My other pc's managed to pick up enough MB to get by for a while and the dual core even got another AP too. They're out there, it's just like pulling teeth to get them. Once you do, downloads are pretty slow if they even connect,. Edit: Last one finally downloaded and all are now ready to start. It takes a while but it does get done. ID: 848149 ·

One machine's cache of work is practially gone so it will shortly be doing Einstein. The other computer has a few hours work left. Right now it's 9:49 AM Berkeley time. ID: 848268 ·
