Network Tasks ? Yes, But it is also the 'and up to an additional' setting too, for Boinc 7 you should put a very small value in the additional setting if you want more frequent topups (Boinc 7 will fill to the 1st and 2nd cache values, then wait until the total cache available falls below the 1st setting before asking again) Claggy |

Gripes: Having to pull My thread back on track and AP's take to long to Download. Kudos: Letting the thread wander this far due to some really GREAT INFO. ;o) ![]() I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |

Kudos: For the fix for TCP issues for windows machines. Gripe: To M$ for not having it as the default! ![]() |

Kudos: cdemers for the TCP fix. He should get a free shopping spree in the Seti@Home gift shop. |

My question is how do some of the powerhouse computers, such as one with 8 GTX-690 video cards keep busy. Do they get special treatment? I have 2 slow ones and 1 with GTX-480 and 1 with GTX-570. For many weeks now either one or the other of these two have had no WU's. It seems to alternate. Right now one has only GPU WU's and for several days the other had only CPU WU's. At one time my RAC was up to almost 50k but is now just starting to go back up from 18k The 2 slow machines rarely have a problem getting WU's. I've been crunching 13 years but am considering calling it quits. Bob B. |

I don't know that network speed is my problem but I'll give it a try. Thanx, Bob |

I am just wondering why the download bandwidth seems so narrow. My network should be able to download a 366k work unit in 1 second but it takes days sometimes. If you have answered this question elsewhere I apologize for asking again but I support 12 different projects and it is hard to read all the message boards. Best Regards, Mark W. Patton |

It's not that the download bandwidth is narrow, it's just that it's clobbered all of the time.... Here is the bandwidth usage graph of Seti... The green is downloads. Getting a piece of it is very difficult sometimes. You should visit our Number Crunching forum, and in particular the Windows TCP thread for a comms mod that might help your downloading woes.

I tried the TCP mod but it didn't help me at all. My GTX-480 has NO WU's and 12 stuck downloading for hours. The GTX-570 has NO GPU WU's and has a dozen or so stuck in download. OTOH my 2-core laptop has plenty of work as does my old AMD 2-core bare motherboard plugged into a power supply. Bob B. |

Over the last 24-48 hours downloading has been more difficult than at any time previously, even with the fix in place i've had downloads accumulate & project backoffs occur. Generally 30-40min later when i hit retry, everything started to download again by itself. Very, very, very slowly, but it did download. Grant Darwin NT |

Gripe: The quoted ones above, and the fact that this condition has, from my perspective, existed for many months and still exists. At speeds as low as 0.8Kbps and lower, downloads take longer than the time to process WUs. Kudos: The S@H team seems to be aware of the problem and is hopefully actively engaged in fixing it. ![]() |

Kudos to me first off. I am just about ready to complete 1million work units. it has taken a long time to complete this. For a long time I did not get any Astropluse downloads until I upgraded my drivers. Now, I get all kinds of Seti downloads and A bunch of Astro pluse downloads. The AP downloads are very slow to download but I can get them within a day. Everything is is o.k. for me at this time with the downloads. Seti is almost instantly. My only gripe is how slow AP is. Comparet to what I read here, I have no gripe at all. |

Since some of you are complaining about the downloads of new tasks here is a solution that has worked for me and many others. 1) Download TCPOptimizer (sorry I don't have a link so maybe try google) 2) Run the program, at the bottom it says Choose Settings: Click on Optimal then click Custom and place a check mark next to "TimeStamps" then click Apply! 3) reboot and problem solved you should download nice and fast for every task. |

Since some of you are complaining about the downloads of new tasks here is a solution that has worked for me and many others. Alternatively (rather than using TCPOptimizer) if you're running Windows, see Richard Haselgrove's two easy methods http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71002&postid=1344153 that set a Registry parameter to relieve WU download congestion on your PC. (Other posters recently pointed out that thread here, but apparently some posters haven't yet understood). Check it out, the Registry setting completely relieved WU download congestion for my 3 PCs.[/url] Sabertooth Z77, i7-3770K@4.2GHz, GTX680, W8.1Pro x64 P5N32-E SLI, C2D E8400@3Ghz, GTX580, Win7SP1Pro x64 & PCLinuxOS2015 x64 ![]() ![]() |
