Is this problem Client wide or just the newer clients? None of my 6.1.0 compuyers have had even a slight delay in downloads from what I see. Seems the only thing not being discussed here. Are people with older clients also having the download problems? Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

I'm not sure if you meant me, because you didn't "reply" but used "post to thread". No, I didn't mean you in particular, I was referring to the whole discussion: if the download doesn't work when the .13 IP is the first one for BOINC but the debug log tells that it has tried both servers, it must be wrong (i.e. the log tells how it is supposed to work, but it doesn't really work that way) |

Are people with older clients also having the download problems? I didn't have problems either with my 5.8.16 and 5.10.45 clients. However, they only downladed a handful of tasks since Thanksgiving, so that might have been the luck of the draw. Gruß, Gundolf |

I hope that today's outage puts an end to the download problems..... Have we had any official response about the problem yet? There was no tech news from Matt yesterday. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I activated the hosts file workround overnight and while I was busy today, so I wouldn't feel obliged to kittysit the shrubbery.... I'll disable it again during maintenance, so I'll see what happens when they come back up. No, I haven't heard anything from SETI admin, but I have a shrewd suspicion that the 'Panic' threads, especially one as busy as this one, is one of the few parts of the message boards that they monitor: and I think Pappa has sent off some emails. So I reckon they know. I've reported the fact that BOINC can't cope with a failed server on round-robin DNS, and passed on a tip I received by PM that the underlying bug in libcurl may have fixed within the last three weeks. In a way, I rather hope that Matt doesn't fix it tonight, so we have something to test a BOINC resolution against! But I can see how that wouldn't appeal to everyone.... |

So Richard is the bug at seti or in the new client? The failure is at SETI. The bug which means that BOINC can't cope properly with the failure is in BOINC, and has been in BOINC for many, many versions. But it's actually in a section of code which BOINC didn't write themselves, but borrowed from somewhere else to save time. The originators of that 'borrowed' code think they've fixed it. BOINC will have to get hold of the new code, test it, incorporate it into BOINC, and test it again: there won't be a new version of BOINC with the - hopefully fixed - code for at least a couple of days. And then we'll have to wait for vader (the problematic SETI server) to fail again before we can really test it: that usually happens every nine months or so, so maybe next summer? |

So Richard is the bug at seti or in the new client? So why have I seen it only on my hosts with updated clients? I checked quite often and neither of my Q6700's even hickupped the last few days. The only machine that even seems to have the problem at all is my new Windows 7 machine. It is the only machine I have had to restart since Saturday morning.... Just like asking Smart guys questions...chance to learn something. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

So Richard is the bug at seti or in the new client? From your other posts, you usually use v6.1.0, I think? That's Crunch3r's unofficial build, which is actually v5.10.[not very many] underneath the hood. That's the many, many versions ago that I was referring to. I'll try and dig out an exact number from the source code during the outage. |
