AP reduced 50% in 30 days, MB gained 50%; so that despite all the server woes clients are still getting data, and I don't think it is time to stop asking for work when it is needed. Better do it now. The moment AP comes on stream again the server will again be choked. ID: 905069 ·

Since the Server status page says there's lots of MBs to send, why do I then often get a message from Boinc saying Project has no jobs available? As of this moment in time, the Server Status Ready to Send is 4 hours out of date ("As of") and Network Traffic is zilch. So that's 2 possible reasons? F. ID: 905336 ·

I know they can remotely run somethings without driving into the lab. Other wise I guess we will be without work until after the tuesday downtime/server shutdowns are done. ID: 905431 ·

I know they can remotely run somethings without driving into the lab. Other wise I guess we will be without work until after the tuesday downtime/server shutdowns are done. I think it's been noticed and something has been kicked, at least the traffic graph has jumped up again. But of course after the outage it's maxed out the network link, and it's going to be hit and miss getting work untill things catche up. Matt's last technical news post alludes to some clogging up of the database servers with extra numbers of small MB workunits, due to the lack of big fat AP units. They have a new (pre-loved) server to be installed and hopefully help out with the database issues, but I imagine that swapping that out will also cause some disruption. Waiting is...

I didn't check in until 7pm Eastern time but it could have been them just taking a bit longer than usual. It happens sometimes. That and all the usual posters may be having dinner.

You machine reports the W/U as done, and the server sends an acknowledgement. But due to network problems your machine never recieves that acknowledgement. Your machine tries to report the same work unit again, and the server says "Already got it". So nothing to worry about. Ian ID: 905648 ·

The BOINC scheduler CPU truly is overloading. I'm getting tons of "No headers, No data" messages on one machine when I know another machine is getting WUs.
