I gave up on SETI when I ran out of tasks and turned everything over to Collatz. I normally only run Collatz in the GPU on my iMac since SETI won't provide GPU tasks. I just shut the HP down until I see transfers working again. There are lots of things we can complain about, like a lack of funding, servers running at high loads, and while I don't think that's justified (you may be upset about a lack of uploads, but BOINC doesn't care), I can understand it. ... but if you have to blame someone, the A/C is maintained by campus facilities, not SETI@Home. Besides, if you add a project (instead of "giving up") and just let BOINC manage it through resource shares, life will be good. |

As near as I can "GUESS" there are roughly 1.4+ million results to upload (28+ hours of outage for MB and AP). Or try stuffing about 200 pounds of cooked spagetti in your mouth and swallowing it in a couple of hours (that could cause a PANIC). Looking at my Logs, the scheduler is still having issues. So while it appears there is work. "Little" is getting out. I did have one machine that "did" manage to get a request through and it got work. That was while I was out in the yard doing things. Go figure, I did not have to push buttons. Boinc worked just as it supposed to. I suspect that before someone goes to bed to night something will turn on (be restarted) and in the morning things will look brighter. So yes, "offically" my one day cache failed me. Although I do have other projects that are keeping things warm. This messes up the numbers I have been collecting for a months now for Pendings and RAC. Over the next week or so, they will show the dip and increase... Patience, as things are sorted. Regards I forgot, somewhere in all this I am not Panic'd (I know I am sipposed to be). I am conecerned... Regards Please consider a Donation to the Seti Project. |

I've read the technical news and it still doesn't explain why some of us haven't been able to connect to the servers since early monday. Ok, that's not totally correct. I managed to upload half of two different wu's today. LOL Only several hundred more to go. I think (based on what some people have said here) that there is a problem with Berkeley's internet service. |

Seem to be getting connected to the scheduler now but just getting "Project has no jobs available" ![]() |

I am getting almost nothing but HTTP errors on upload attempts...a few do manage to make it, but very few. And 'scheduler request failed, couldn't connect to server' when attempting to report those uploads that did squeak through. Something is obviously still very wrong here....and this problem is happening on all of my rigs. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

hi, And yet, the Cricket graphs show total bandwidth at a very lazy pace....does not make sense to me. Have never seen quite this scenario that I can remember. These kinds of comms problems are usually seen when the bandwidth is saturated. Maybe it will get sorted tomorrow. Until then, I got two of my prime rigs with no Cuda work. Sigh.

Hi, still got a day, I guess, of work for SETI, but also can't upload about 100 task's. Probably a good time, to clean out the dust in all rig's and reseat a heatsink which doesn't make much contact with the CPU, as it get's too hot (96C) and only has a mild (10%) OC. BOINC doesn't even try to UPLoad, since yesterday! ![]() |

I still wish answers as to just WTF is going on....... Seti server problems, or external inet comms problems. These have both bean postulated, but not answered. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

No it isn't. The sequence was: 1) Uploads stopped (problem with HTTP service on Bruno) 2) Regular backup/compression maintenance 3) A/C failure They've dealt with (3): (2) is history, as it always is by the following day: but reading Matt's posts, I honestly don't think he's noticed (1) yet. First day back after vacation, everything showing green on the monitors, just enough uploads trickling in to make it look like a normal/quiet day. I'm running a very lean mix at the moment, for testing. CUDA cards switched to GPUGrid ages ago, and even big steady old Octo has finished the 2-day CPU cache. So all I'm doing at the moment is grinding through a backlog of rebranded VLARs on CPUs. But I've still got 303 uploads waiting to go through - about 20 more than when I went to bed last night. If the uploader can't even keep up with CPU production, it's broken: I tried to say as much in Technical News last night, but it got buried in an avalanche of 15-year old UPSs. Somebody else can try using back-channels to attract attention if they want. |

There is a basic comms problem going on here.......... It may be within Seti, it may be not. All I know, is it is starting to piss me off. LOL. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

Monitoring my upload process, I see a very few making it through at present. What is frustrating is that I see a lot that get as far as 100% uploaded to be subsequently rejected and queued up to try again. The last bit of handshaking fails and causes the system to repeat work (upload) that appears to have been completed. This is not an new observation. Because it obviously takes bandwidth and server resources to execute this type of failure, and because the behavior has been around 'forever', has any effort been made to remedy it? (Doning manager hat: If not why not?!) |

Hi, still got a day, I guess, of work for SETI, but also can't upload about 100 task's. Hi Fred, To be correct, it isn`t BOINC, it`s SETI. I`m on some other projects right now, and uploads/downloads are doing just fine. All the best ! Kurt ![]() |

[rant]This is rather frustrating, as no acknowledgment has been made of the problem as of yet.......so I don't know WTF is going on. Nothing is happening on Cricket, nor the server status page to give a clue... WHERE ARE THE FISH?????[/rant] "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

I'm actually out of SETI work, for the first time in months. Uploaded 5 out of 8 completed WUs overnight, oldest of these these have been trying to transfer for about 48 hours. No downloads, messages like this: 18/02/2010 8:26:04 AM|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 259200 seconds of work, reporting 1 completed tasks 18/02/2010 8:26:26 AM||Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 18/02/2010 8:26:27 AM||Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. 18/02/2010 8:26:29 AM|SETI@home|Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server Cricket graphs appear virtually dead. Definitely a communications problem somewhere.... Fortunately all my other projects are running nicely. ![]() ![]() |

After many many retry attempts (automatic, not manual), I finally have all my uploads completed and tasks reported. Haven't downloaded anything for a while, but thank god for the 10 day cache.
