I remember a while back a post by Matt (or maybe somebody else) that said that Download Server 2 being shown as "Running" was in error and something else that needed to be fixed. It nearly always shows "Running".

Then set your managers to not request new work until the cricket graph shows uploads tapering off

Many if not most of us who read these boards do that already.

Sten-Arne is only pointing out that the vast majority of S@H users Don't read these boards -they are "set and forget" users who's BOINC Managers are continuously trying to reach the servers, and even with automatic back-off, will drive bandwidth to the max as soon as ANY of the Upload/Download/Scheduling servers come online. (Yes, I know the Server Status page says Download Server 2 on Vader is running, but the Cricket Graph says it isn't "online".)

Donald is correct. Many do not read the boards so any comments here around how to set systems are wasted on the vast majority.

Seti/Boinc was built and sold as "set and forget"...It would do the work and communicate without your involvement...all you neede to do was install and away you go.

The problem is the 3d outage, its causing systemic issues that weren't fully considered. Cease the 3d outage, get rid of the current set of systemic issues and re-think the problem that you are trying to solve for, the issues and outcomes.

Yeah, I guess they had to use the Force on Vader, Not an easy task to make a Sith do as He's told. ;)

Someone can report ULed results?

My BOINCs can't.

But the 'server status page' say, it should be possible. %-(

Yes, it appears as if some are able to report.

I am not one of them, as yet, though...

That was one of the problems on Friday and Saturday - some few could Report and Download, but most could not.

No way..

Upload service is succesfully migrated. We now have over 4TB of space for uploads! Not that we'd ever use that much. There are still a couple of kinks to work out with other minor server migrations. Thus, we will leave the back end (validation, etc) down tonight. The splitters and data service are up.

Scheduler service - ON or OFF? %-(

I got one! An actual S@H WU! That will keep one of my processors busy for nearly 3 hours!

I get this:

pc1

75 SETI@home 9/29/2010 5:26:15 PM Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
76 SETI@home 9/29/2010 5:26:15 PM Requesting new tasks for CPU and GPU
77 SETI@home 9/29/2010 5:26:21 PM Scheduler request failed: HTTP service unavailable

My SETI WU reported. It had already uploaded before the weekend outage. Now Waiting to pickup a WU. I set BOINC to only keep 0.02 days of work on hand. I let the BOINC logic balance out debts between projects. I will get what I need and I don't sweet the details.

Got this on the single-core machine today..

2010-09-29 15:43:23|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 295047 seconds of work, reporting 1 completed tasks
2010-09-29 15:43:28|SETI@home|Scheduler request succeeded: got 3 new tasks

That's EDT (UTC -4). And the three new tasks were APs. Since then, nothing but 'HTTP service unavailable' and 'project has no tasks available'.

Be very careful what you say Jeff, statements like that have a habit of coming back to bite you on the buttocks. Just ask Bill. :-)

Problem is, Bill never actually said the infamous quote which is often attributed to him.

LOL, I KNEW someone would come back with that and I had a quiet "odds on" bet with myself it would be you. ;-)

Funny thing is, I recall seeing him say the 640K one on the news.
That was back before Al Gore invented the internet.

a 64K maximum was well known and widely adopted as being far more than anyone could ever use.
