The last 2 days I have been able to recieve work but completed tasks wont clear up. I keep getting the message that internet access is ok but servers might be temporarily down. If sight was down i believe i would not recieve any new work. Anyone have any insight, have about 10 tasks per computer waiting to upload + 5 computers. Need answers Thank you |

... a temporary stop to AP downloads, until the cause of the anomaly can be investigated and corrected. Once the runaway download train is brought under control, uploads will look after themselves. As far as I can tell, they have Coral Cache turned on for the AP v5 as this link still works. The problem is a lot of the antivirus apps mark the redirect as suspect and do not allow the download to happen. Of course then then we get the task errors because there is no app to process the work. |

12 is getting long in the tooth, time for a new one. ..but.. it would be better if we would not need a thread like this.. ;-D ..it would be nice if everything would running every time well.. But then we would have every day the same and no 'fun' with our loved project. ;-D |

I'm still getting problems on uploads, Someone suggested in the last thread(#12) that donating $5 or so(whatever one can afford right now) from everyone here could go towards fixing the bandwidth bottleneck We have here. As in 3 Days and 3:55(Hours:Minutes) I will be running on either fumes or be empty here, I can take $10 from My savings account on the 27th and earmark It for Fixing the Seti Bandwidth Problems. 2/22/2009 9:23:17 AM||Resuming network activity 2/22/2009 9:23:17 AM|SETI@home|[file_xfer] Started upload of file 17ja09aa.6195.388982.6.8.107_1_0 2/22/2009 9:23:17 AM|SETI@home|[file_xfer] Started upload of file 17ja09aa.6195.388982.6.8.109_1_0 2/22/2009 9:23:39 AM||Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 2/22/2009 9:23:39 AM|SETI@home|[file_xfer] Temporarily failed upload of 17ja09aa.6195.388982.6.8.109_1_0: HTTP error 2/22/2009 9:23:39 AM|SETI@home|Backing off 1 hr 42 min 19 sec on upload of file 17ja09aa.6195.388982.6.8.109_1_0 2/22/2009 9:23:39 AM|SETI@home|[file_xfer] Started upload of file 17ja09aa.6195.388982.6.8.160_1_0 2/22/2009 9:23:40 AM||Access to reference site succeeded - project servers may be temporarily down. 2/22/2009 9:24:00 AM||Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 2/22/2009 9:24:00 AM|SETI@home|[file_xfer] Temporarily failed upload of 17ja09aa.6195.388982.6.8.160_1_0: HTTP error 2/22/2009 9:24:00 AM|SETI@home|Backing off 3 hr 19 min 8 sec on upload of file 17ja09aa.6195.388982.6.8.160_1_0 The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

[quote]12 is getting long in the tooth, time for a new one. That's also true, but I'de rather be able to UP- & DOWN-load, since >200 WU's are trying to get 'IN' and some new WU's, would be nice, too. This is too much (excitement), for me ;^) 22-2-2009 18:26:26|SETI@home|Backing off 2 hr 53 min 9 sec on upload of 15ja09aa.4494.11524.7.8.149_0_0 22-2-2009 18:26:26|SETI@home|Temporarily failed upload of 15ja09aa.4494.11524.7.8.141_1_0: connect() failed 22-2-2009 18:26:26|SETI@home|Backing off 3 hr 28 min 32 sec on upload of 15ja09aa.4494.11524.7.8.141_1_0 22-2-2009 18:26:26|SETI@home|Started upload of 15ja09aa.4494.11524.7.8.133_0_0 22-2-2009 18:26:26|SETI@home|Started upload of 15ja09aa.4494.11524.7.8.152_0_0 22-2-2009 18:26:27||Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. 22-2-2009 18:26:37||Suspending network activity - user request 1 host of the 1,5 Million hosts less, doesn't make much sense . . . |

Does this happen EVERY weekend or what?? Cant upload cant download what a farce! I thought this was an established project? Most Alpha & beta projects are able to run without a weekly maintenance shutdown & a weekend server outage every weekend. So what gives?? |

Seti@home is one of the oldest projects out there, and has a large user base. Large number of users = high trafic and at the moment, the pipeline just does not have enough bandwidth. |

If I am understanding the problem, increasing the bandwidth won't do much. The amount of data each user is asking for per day is a few GB due to the looping effect ... we are talking several tens of thousands of users here. |

Does this happen EVERY weekend or what?? Yes, almost every weekend, starting last christmas and even before that :) I thought this was an established project? No, this is just a test lab :) (Sorry, I couldn't resist). BUT, I won't give up. I now have a lot op AP's to upload which will be credited at once, once the upload problem is gone, because there're all re-issued ones :) Still waiting for a 5.03 WU though. |

Go here and read and maybe donate to the cause and If one does donate, Make It a specific donation. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I note it in nearly all 'panic threads'.. ;-) Rise the WUs in your cache and you will 'nearly' never run out of work.. |

Very trure. I run all my computers keeping 10 days work just in case something like this happens. |

I note it in nearly all 'panic threads'.. ;-) Of course, if you think that through, maxing out your cache settings is inherently self defeating in the long run. ;-) What if everybody did that? :-) In any event, this is the weekend so I call it 'Par for the course'. If it was Wednesday OTOH, I might think about having a minor Panic. :-D Alinator |

Have not been able to upload for about 16 hours now, more than 500 WU to upload. 4 day cache, so i guess it is not an issue at the moment. BUT: Looking at the server status page and Scarecrow graphs makes me wonder. Normally MB WUs return at the rate of 10 to 20 to 1 AP WU. Why is it suddenly appear easier to return an AP work unit than an MB WU ?? Presently the ratio is 2 to 1, prox. Dave |

What sort of timescale are we looking at to clear the backlog. I only keep about half a days work,so I ran out of work Sat lunch time. I have 50 or so wu's to upload. If there are 50,000 hosts each with 50 wu's ( average say ) to upload that is 2.5 million wu's. It is like a lake full of water trying to go down a 1 inch pipe. It could take days to clear or am I on the wrong path. |
