It's getting better ...

Yes, something is going up in the Cricket graph; the blue line...

So whats this new upload download thing? Does it have to do with the Interweb? Can I get one?

That's Interwebs. If you're gonna get it wrong, get it right!

So now I'm curious. My uploads have started working finally. 2 of 5 uploads have completed, but I have 2 others that are at Progress 100.00%, but are still in retry mode. Why would it need to retry an upload that progressed to 100%?

My only complaint is the lack of communication when we have the normal weekend Crash and burn. And yo have to admit since new years weekend weve been doing that a lot. I signed up for milkyway @ home just to stay busy. And there when they have a server problem they tell you right at the home page. if you can get to it that is. and lets face if you cant get to the home page on any project theres trouble. Myself i can live with not getting work or uploading , but like most folks id just like to here a word from the man saying ok we got big problems can you suspend your work till monday. Hell it has taken ten years to get my credits up to a respectful number a few days wont kill me. But i would like to know whats up in a timely matter,

The progress 100% column is in the Tasks tab. It'll only tell you that you crunched the task 100%. Not that it uploaded. For that, check the progress column in the Transfers tab. :-)

For that, check the progress column in the Transfers tab. :-)

:-) That's where I am:

Project: SETI@home
File: 16ja09ab...
Progress: 100.00%
Size: 28.17/28.17 KB
Elapsed Time: 13:20
Speed: 0.00 KBps
Status: Retry in 03:12:46 (and counting)

2 of my uploads are like this.

Seems to always happen on a weekend! I'm lucky that some of my slower machines are still trying to crank out AP units, but my newer units are about to run on empty, and my LHC@home has had no work for a while, but that is expected so not upsetting. A year ago when this was far more frequesnt, I set my default to 8 days as protection, but set it back after long periods of up-time.

I don't care as much about sending in the completes as I do in filling my pipe.
Maybe I'll get lucky and receive something within the 4:22:02 I have left on this machine.

At least some communication today would have been nice.

That's then a bug in 6.4.5 ... and already fixed in 6.6.x ;-)

It's just that it managed to get all the way through but did not receive an acknowledgement from the server. It will go when the retry time is up

I do read the woods but i havent seen any thing from the man since he posted it. I would like to see the mods here or a few tetsters get the straight scoop from the man so They can tell us whats up. As far as the server page goes that thing is useless.

OK it's 18:00+ in the UK, 10am in seti land, is anything being done to resolve this. On the "Technical" board any chance of a thread with a sensible title? And one that syas some thing of use would be nice, I know they are voulentees and all that but without us crunchers they are pointless.

After reading 2 hours on numerous posts related to this. I agree ... It's sad to see such a large and important project, with so many dedicated Crunchers tell people: Look around at other posts, you will find your answer. The appearance of late seems to be, SETI is acting like it is to big for it's britches, users will not tolerate donating crunching time to a project that does not show appreciation, for what we are doing or our concerns enough to post on the main www page the problems/resolutions. To Bad ...this was a good, reliable project over the years. This seems to be a downhill slide here. I guess they figure that when we stop crunching for them new users will join and take over where we left off. FWTW

/obnoxious rant

Well it was updating yesterday getting to 100% on the upload then quitting the upload and retrying later. I assume this has to do with the server failing to confirm the upload with the client.

Isn't that what I said? Oh, and I may be wrong about it going on the retry. Looks like it's stalled again. :(

I was told on another therd I should pay up if I want to crunch, to be more accurate I was told: If I can afford to build a cruncher I can afford to pay. "B**l*ks" (vowels removed) I was about to donate, but not now, that comment from a beta tested with a low rac and total and less than a year's crunching typifies this projects current outlook. I'm not going to get to my 10 years in June at this rate.

It does not take much to consider your customers, because thats what we are, do some thing simple like not pressing the release button last thing on friday! Schoolboy error number one; if you can't support it don't release it.

My 2 results finally just went thru.

Just made a stock checking on my home rigs, 893 WUs waiting upload. No idea how many are waiting in my office systems to which I have no access presently. My estimate is around 200. So all in all around 1000+ or so. CUDA rig and laptop are dry, two more running on fumes.

This has gone too long this time...
