Wondering whats going on... The seti staff would have been in the office by now to look into this.

Why? At the moment it's 02:08 Monday morning. I'd give them a few more hours to get to work & sort things out.

The cricket graph shows that the network saturation has been persistant for over a day now. Never seen this kind of behaviour before. Wondering whats going on... The seti staff would have been in the office by now to look into this. I mean, I know that the network bottleneck cannot be solved just like that, but I was expecting atleast a minuscule dip in the graphs.

The staff office is in the western United States, near San Francisco - time zone UTC -8. It'll be another seven or eight hours before a human being is in a position to intervene manually, so my bathtub will continue to overflow till then.

Hello Richard,

Since the nitpicker isn't running yet, I take the liberty of emulating it: shouldn't that be UTC-8 ? It's earlier at their place, they are still sleeping while we are already at work. Lucky bastards ;-)

I always mix up the time zones. Oh well few more hours then, I guess there might be some improvements by midnight here.

Nit duly picked - thank you.

But just think how long they have to stay at work, while we're already down the pub....

I´ve got the same problem. First I thought the server may be down, so I waited.
Since Friday I didn´t got a connection to upload der comlpeted fils.

I hope the problem is solved soon.

I know it's sort of counter-productive and possibly negative, but when I saw the cricket graph was maxed out, it was getting closer and closer to being a full 48 hours (the length of the "daily" timeframe) of having the link saturated. I was hoping to see it go the full stretch and save a screenshot. :D Got it. :p

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

My turn to nit-pick - the Berkeley cricket admin 'days' are 42 hours long. What planet are they from?

Next target - maxxed out for a full 10-day 'week'?

For the last couple of days I've been unable to upload results to SETI. I'm getting the following error messages:

23/02/2009 12:50:41||Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site

*looking for a bottle of champagne to open it when all my stock of completed WUs is flushed into the database*

I try to sent some results but have the following since 3 days:

The site may have been down for a while that accepts the completed tasks. I have found that to be the case on my own system. I also just installed the 6.4.5 version and seem to have lost the data for the completed but not yet sent to seti task i had done.

Resistence is futile! {evil cackle}

And so instead of reading the forums to see if there's possibly a problem, detailed in other threads, such as this one here in this forum, you think "let's make a new thread"? ;-)

There's a thread here as well, as there is one here and here and here, here, here, here and here.

It's rather difficult not to find a forum in which there isn't a thread about the upload and download problems that are plaguing Seti at this moment. ;-)

Waiting for a moderator to merge all those threads into one

Seti bandwidth is saturated. Has been all weekend long. There's nothing wrong with your system. Hopefully when the guys get into the office later today (Berkeley is UTC -8h) they'll be able to fix it.

---

yeah but newbies tend not to realise that the place they upload to may be getting maintenance and therefore be down.

---

Resistence is futile! {evil cackle}

When there's maintenance being done, the database is down, these forums aren't available and you get a message that there's maintenance being done. :-)

lol ok
signing off now seeya happy crunching

42 is always the right answer to everything ;-)

On a serious note, this is the first time in recent memory that my main cruncher (7 days cache) have run out of work on SETI - but only on the CUDA side. Certainly not looking forward to run GPU grid for the next 10 days... it would build some hefty long term debt

My PC has 2 WU waiting to upload. and it is running a AP so that has work for at least 100 more hours.MY Mac is squeezing in an upload now and then but have 9 waiting to upload. and still have a day and a half of WU's to run. So im doing more milkyway crunching. till the damn breaks.
