If the guys have changed something in the server closet in the last several hours then they better change it back again.

Cheers.

I'm having problems with the uploads hanging. I don't have that many with the APs going on one card and long MBs on the other, but, they are all hanging. The Long MBs are about gone, and now the recently downloaded shorties will be running....more hangs.

And when, after a number of retries, the scheduler responds with some 'resends', most of the downloads are dead in the water.

EDIT...
I would estimate this all went to heck in a handbasket about 4-5 hours ago. When I left for work about 9 hours ago, all rigs had their pitiful 100 WU allotment filled.

Seeing the same behavior as when things were really bad a while back....before the limits 'fixed' things.

Host makes scheduler request. My account shows that contact with the scheduler was made. Scheduler does not answer.... Host tries again, still no answer. Eventually after enough retries, the scheduler responds by resending 'lost' tasks. MY rigs did not lose them.

Uploads are rather dicey too.

I've just set NNT until this hiccup is over as I'm not going to baby sit down/up loads (my backup projects may get to fight for my resources again).

Cheers.

Uploads backing up.
After hitting retry several dozen times i was able to get a couple to upload, eventually. Upload speed was that of an old & crippled snail (< 2kB/s).
Upload error message- connect() failed.

Have got a few Scheduler errors, mostly Server returned no data etc. I'd probably have more, but the backedup uploads have been blocking the work requests. When the request does go through it's taking 1-2min to get a response.


BTW- weren't the WUs with the really long identifier meant to have been fixed? I'm still getting lots of those.

Your observations about comms mirror what I am seeing.

I don't think the long IDs were considered a problem per se, but I thought they were a temporary thing as well.

Just to add to the fun, when i do get work it's almost all shorties.

Uploads backing up.

That looks like the problem here also.

By abusing a few buttons, got enough uploads to happen so that requests could be made.

It took a few requests but eventually got a few GPU tasks and they all came in at >50kbs.

Just to add to the fun, when i do get work it's almost all shorties.

Same here, so that still leaves me less than an hours GPU crunching time on hand.

So as my four legged friend (the bed) calls I must either enable Einstein crunching or switch off and try domani.

It took a few requests but eventually got a few GPU tasks and they all came in at >50kbs.

10-20kB/s here at the moment.

Now with uploads 1kB/s is doing well (when it does eventually go through).

Thats cause you live in the middle of nowhere, or at least can see nowhere from there.

My cousin keeps me informed of the actions of your ISP's and the telco's over there he is not very impressed having lived in the UK, Boston and southern California.

We're not overly thrilled with them either, but they do have the population density & total numbers argument on their side.
A landmass the area of mainland USA, with a total population that's not even 3 times that of London (22.6 million v 8.2 million).

I have not seen the Seti servers so totally screwed in a long while.
I mean, we have a trifecta going here.
Uploads, downloads, AND scheduler requests all nearly impossible.

Makes me wonder if we have a dang DOS attack on the servers going again.

Perhaps just busy. I had an AP upload and two AP downloads finished within the last 10 minutes.

Not in my experience.
Usually at least downloads remain pretty efficient even during peak loading after outages.
I feel something else is awry here.

I dunno, my cache was wiped out due to my lappy having a fit last night resulting in about 15hrs of no crunching. It took a couple of hours before Boinc received the message that the tasks had been reported and since about 18:55:08 UTC to 22:34:42 UTC my cache has been rebuilt.

A lot of timeouts, server returned nothing and so on though :( I'm glad I'm not a mega cruncher, I'd probably be doing a lot of swearing right about now :)
