It's a shame AP had to start up again. For a few days there the systems were able to get work without any assistance from me. Now with AP using up the bandwidth, the latest shotry attack means that without me there to keep clicking on buttons & network access, my systems are processing work faster than i can download it.

Hi Suffering a drop in RAC atm - is there trouble uploading/downloading at the minute, thus uploaded results aren't able to be validated by wingpersons? |

Hi Dunno, but I have seen an upswing in my pending WUs lately. Looks like the validators are working OK, not much backlog there. Could just be slower hosts as wingys. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

OK....RACs at 50 paces. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Now AP's are available again but no chance to downlad them... Even MB downloads stuck. I know, I am a moaner :-)) Hard to make me happy... |

I can download only with a proxy. OMG, router again? |

I can download only with a proxy. OMG, router again? I actually don't think (hope?) so - though with proxy the downloads at least sometimes come to an end. Really weirdo. |

I came home to find an AP stuck in downloading. I had my hosts file set for .13 and the downloads would start and then time-out. Changed over to .18 and it instantly starts going, but 2-5k/sec.

Looks like shorties are clogging up the pipes... Nope, just the AP WUs. Grant Darwin NT |

During a shorty storm the servers are getting so many requests for MB WU they, and their local connection to the internet, get clogged. Remember each shorty is the same size as a "normal" MB WU, but only about a quarter of the time to do., so everyone is asking for work four times as often as they would when "normals" are around in abundance. Add to this the AP WU take about 20 times as long to transit through to the internet and everything starts to go lumpy on us.

Aw, maaaan. I was watching a movie and my machine locked up, and it has come to my attention that the statistics xml file got corrupted/lost and my three years of stats are gone...well sort of. I use a .bat file to start things up on my boxes. With that kind of setup you could easily just throw in a copy command to back things up before BOINC starts up each time. This is one I am using on my current box. rd %CD%\setiathome.berkeley.edu\sym /S /Q %CD%\boinc.exe --skip_cpu_benchmarks --start_delay 90 --detach start boincmgr.exe /s timeout 5 rd %CD%\notices\ /S /Q I prefer to compress things when I archive them. So I would probably go for something like. winrar a "D:\BOINC_DataBU.rar" "D:\BOINC\Data\*" or start /wait winrar a -r "D:\BOINC_DataBU.rar" "D:\BOINC\Data\*" depending on what I wanted exactly.

Thank you for that bit of advice, but I don't think it's really all that necessary now. Pretty sure I figured out what the instability problem was (see my capacitor replacement thread here), so I should be in the clear from now on. Just have one AP whose progress was somewhere close to nearly done and the wisdom file got lost/corrupt, so it started over. Going to have a 200,000+ -second AP, which will just do [sarcasm] AMAZING [/sarcasm] things to my DCF and estimates.

Looks as if there's is a bit of indigestion in the delivery pipe just now. Both MB and AP ready to send stocks increasing, and lots of re-tries needed to get anything downloaded. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Be interesting to see what 'adjustments', if any, are made during today's outage. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

I'm confused.... A few minutes ago I looked at the front page and it clearly says that the DOWNLOAD server is going for a day or two R&R, so no downloads. (posted at 2 Nov 2011 | 3:49:57 UTC) BUT A minute later I looked at the the BOINC message tab, and saw that I'd just received an MB WU: 02/11/2011 08:40:07 SETI@home Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks 02/11/2011 08:40:10 SETI@home Started download of 21jn11ac.32386.2117.15.10.220 02/11/2011 08:40:59 SETI@home Finished download of 21jn11ac.32386.2117.15.10.220 And looking at the server status page I see both download servers are alive and kicking. Have the S@H boys discovered a form of time compression?? Am I disappointed? - no, my crunchers are being fed with nice S@H WU Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I'm confused.... The BOINC server may be down, but luckily the Seti server is still up. Grant Darwin NT |
