Not only the forums running in slow motion again, but downloads are becomming more & more difficult. The pipe's been full for days, but it think it's even fuller now than it was before.

Not only the forums running in slow motion again, but downloads are becomming more & more difficult. The pipe's been full for days, but it think it's even fuller now than it was before.

Although this is a big thread and loads veeerrrrryyyyy sssssslllooowwwwwwww, I wonder how the benchmark for INET connections
is done. It seems to be 300KBit/sec., while I've a 20MBit/sec ADSL
connection?!

Not sure if this post will get through- downloads are still sticking, but the forums have pretty much crawled to a halt.
Even the home page took over a minute to come up, on the 3rd attempt.

Time to refresh the mouse in the generator wheel,
This one is slow going,
Took a long time to bring up the `post to thread` window just so i can post this giberish.
Or should tat be gerbilish.

I know that the download servers are hopelessly clogged by a combination of AP units and the shortie storm going on, but it seems now the upload servers have taken to throwing repeated HTTP errors.

Ahh, well, got to love the weekends.

Yeah... can see that even on the cricket graph, so it seems not to be just a little overload, which could clear itself after a short while.

Begin finger warm-ups for "Retry Now" marathon. Safety first.

Yeah I have a TON of downloads and uploads backed up. Downloads are working, albeit slowly. Uploads are totally stalled

I've not needed to download any tasks since yesterday (29th). So it's not me clogging up the pipe downloading astropulses, I swear :)

As to those having forum troubles, I have my forum preferences set to show only the last thirty posts and have had not difficulty with slow loading or timeouts (could be just good timing though). Although it only seems to work if you set the sorting to "oldest first" at the top of the page.

Still no uploads, and i notice none of the server status numbers have updated for a while either.

I like the new error message, although it doesn't really make it any easier to understand. ;-)

Anyway, the i5 is now all cool on the CPU cores, just Einstein running on the GPU. Costs less electricity.

Now after several hours of the uploads having issues, you can see on the cricket graph that it is definitely an issue. I've got two uploads stuck myself.

Only two, I just counted, I've got eight. I guess it's just hurry up and wait ;)

Well after having my internet connection going up and down for the past 7 days,
and now have just activated my new DOCSIS 3 modem everything was going just fine.
Then I noticed my SETI uploads were stalling and thought my internet was still
bad. But am glad to see it is SETI and not me.

Ping statistics for 208.68.240.16:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss).

It's been that way each time I've checked. The 19:30 UTC of the last Status page update and the 12:30 drop off on cricket are of course the same time. With everything so thoroughly tied together, there's no way for us to guess how much work it'll be to recover.

                                                                   Joe

I hope that when ever PaddyM comes on line, and GeorgeM fallinto his final function, these upload/download burps should start to mellow out a bit.

Agreed. Somewhat surprisingly, my cache was full before it went down. Should be 10-12 days that I can survive.

It feels just like that doesn't it? Something I have started to learn through SETI is to be very patient and let life flow around and over these slow downs. I used to get pretty upset when my RAC would drop by 25% and all was humming along just fine. No more. I turn to Netflix and my episodes of Burn Notice, MI-5, Plain Sight, or Jeremiah, etc. and just wait it out while enjoying myself. Makes no sense to let SETI hiccups take my emotions downhill. Life has been a good teacher for me in the ways of being centered and looking at the big picture. Your way of making humor out of a hassle is great. Thank to you Grumpy old Swede...

This is a minor annoyance for me.

Having fun trying to keep two projects (SETI and WCG) at around the same RAC. At least I won't run dry unless WCG goes down at the same time.
