Will the change over to seti v7 be handled the same way AP v6 has been?
I keep thinking a scarcity of tapes(files) to split might be significant.

Not significant at all, we have not even changed over to 6.98 yet at beta and there are still tests to do for CUDA and OpenCL apps there as well.

Cool. Thanks for the balm.

Looks like it is the entire website. Most link-clicks are taking 3-10 seconds to receive a reply. Once the reply comes through though, it is just as fast as it should be.

Yep, very slow today indeed.

Dunno what's up.....something running in the background?
The replica DB is online and up to synch.

Sheesh.

Sheesh.

As well as the website being slow, Results ready to send is down to 87,901 (from ~90,000 ten minutes earlier) and i've just had an AP download at 117KBs,

Claggy

And yikes.....
For the last 20 minutes or so, forum lag has become NASTY.
Something bad is afoot, or something still resynching from yesterday's shutdown.
I don't think I have ever even seen generating the daily stats dump cause this kind of constipation on the web site.

Crickets are stuffed full.
Indeed the crickets didn't drop very far during yesterday's downtime, which is most unusual - its almost like a DoS in action

And yet uploads and reports look to be getting through at the normal rate.

Very confusing!

Haven't noticed any lag myself, in the last 10-15 mins I've been surfing the forums. Must have fixed itself.

SETI@Home is a DDoS attack to the servers.

When the download bandwidth stays up like that it has been a sign of backed up downloads in the past. A few weeks ago when there were massive backups the graph stayed pegged for the whole outage.

I don't have any pent up transfers and both my transfers seem to be going at a normal rate.

The servers stayed up for the whole outage this week, in case you did not notice.....almost pegged.
Download mania has never stuffed the web pages this bad before.....
I should know.
Something else is amiss.

Yeah I had looked at the graph already. The traffic stayed up only dipping to about 70mb before going back up again.

Eric advises me that it was a spider scan that was not picked up by the server settings.......freakin' net thingy.

Should get better now.

Yeah, there are lots of spiders/robots out there, that doesn't obey the robots.txt files on websites any longer. What you as a site owner wants, the ones who sends their spiders on your site, doesn't give a rats a** about...

Criminals they are, I tell you.

I support the death penalty for all who use the internet for other than it's intended means of unlimited communication. And the the abuse of it.

I recently sent a spoof email back to Paypal, and they intend to deal with it.
Or so they tell me.

When I was running my web server at home I had taken to adding blocks of IP's to the deny list on my router. I still have them in there and some of the ranges are pretty large. Such as 200.0.0.0-200.255.255.255

Feels like there is another one hitting us again.

Yeah, no kidding. My ancient Linksys router has connection logging via SNMP traps and I get port bombed anywhere from every couple of minutes to an hour, and when I do a whois on the IP.. China. It's always China.

When I upgrade to an enterprise-class router.. I'm blocking all of China. Probably most of Asia in general. If they can't behave on the Internet, then I don't want anything to do with them.

I no longer run a web server but when I did it was almost always China then Eastern Europe and Russia and then Africa no kidding I don't know what those people were trying to do my router always dealt with them. I think they just discovered the internet and servers and was trying to see if they could hack them of course they never did I was running Microsoft IIS at the time and they were using apache and other open source commands and looking for back doors since I was running IIS they did not have a chance I even put a web page that when they tried those commands it would go to that web page and it would say better luck next time.
