Wow! The cricket graph isn't maxed out anymore! I just checked at 1300utc and it was down to 87mbit. Still pretty high up there, but not maxed out, which means any connections should go through the first try. Pretty impressive.. the recovery happened a little faster than Matt expected. He was thinking it would begin to settle down toward the end of the day PST, but the sun hasn't even risen there yet.

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

LOL...

Yep, and they just set a new record for the longest period of sustained max bandwidth since the switch to Hurricane! :-)

Of course, it's a much better user experience with things working more or less correctly again. My hosts didn't seem to care too much either way though. ;-)

Does anyone know why the neither AP_validate is running? They both say "Not Running" Expanation is "Program failed or ran out of work". I don't think they ran out of work.

Also do they pertain to both AP 5.00 and 5.03?

Don't know why but it seems that Berkeley takes down the AP validators at the first sign of problems.

And since I prefere to crunch AP it really hurts.

looks like the credits aren't getting moved along. I see that I have 26000 more credits on my page yet the stats are still sitting back from a couple days ago.

Had about 6-10 wu's to report, waited for 4 complete days, it reported succesfully. Now my reports are going perfect, up- and downloads are going well now...Good job to the SETI team...bravo!

To boldly go where no human has gone before!

They're both back online now ;-)

After nine hours of almost steady decline from peak on the network graph, it pegged somewhat over an hour ago, and has stayed there.

More unpleasantness?

I don't think that everything is working well again..

After every work request I get only 1 new WU..

I hope before the next weekend the WU cache is full again.. ;-)

Have a look at what Matt says here.

Savoir-Faire is everywhere!
The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST

Calm before the storm?
Work in progress is pretty much back to normal, however AP Turn Around time is still about 50hrs less than it was at the begining of the month. MB results received in the Last Hour are down, and the Turn Around time is about 20hours higher than it was at the begining of the month.
And the network traffic is now down to 40Mb/s, where as it was generally around 60Mb/s before the Great Storm.

Problems ahead or has the recent spell of longer work settled things down?

I can only speculate but,

After the storm, people got their cues filled up, the turnaround time started counting then, so on average the first results should be coming back after that time.

People with other projects as fall back got more WU's for them and are crunching those other projects for now but will get back to S@H when those are done.

My bet is that in a few days time things will get back a "normal" level.

Perhaps, the computers that were switched to other stuff,
or turned off, will not be back full duty, to crunching for Seti. ;)

So it sent me a WU and in the same second said it didn't have work? Maybe.
Then it says all in the same second:

2/28/2009 2:50:41 PM|SETI@home|Message from server: You have selected to receive work from other applications if no work is available for the applications you selected
2/28/2009 2:50:41 PM|SETI@home|Message from server: Sending work from other applications

Maybe the messages should be made a bit more human readable.

Maybe the messages should be made a bit more human readable.

How? It told you that it had no work for the two applications you have said on the preferences that you prefer, and it tells you it has sent new work, which was from a third application.

The point of confusion, I think, is that folks don't recognize that Astropulse and Astropulse v5 are two separate applications. But that is not a question of the human readability of the messages.

Well, if folks read it and folks don't understand it, that meets my definition of human readability (failed). The onus is on the communicator to transfer the information to the communicatee.

@ Gary,

Have a revisit with your SETI@home preferences page. You may not be aware that there's a third 'opt-in' option for the new "Astropulse v5" application that archae86 mentions, and it may not be set the way you want.

The "ap_validate2" indicates "Not Running". AP "waiting for validation" is growing.
Seems to be cropping up occasionally lately. Has been this way for a while.

Yes - Matt wrote about it in Mono (Feb 25 2009).

Yes he wrote about it, but if it was working correctly the waiting for validation shouldn't be increasing.
