11/19/2012 4:36:36 PM | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Pretty much the same thing here in Switzerland: 19.11.2012 23:05:52 | SETI@home | update requested by user 19.11.2012 23:05:52 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 19.11.2012 23:05:52 | SETI@home | Not reporting or requesting tasks 19.11.2012 23:05:53 | SETI@home | Scheduler request failed: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data) 19.11.2012 23:05:57 | | Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 19.11.2012 23:05:59 | | Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. N.B. times are UTC+1 ergo: SETI is off and Primegrid is running!!! It's so easy and simple! ID: 1307905 ·  |

AP-Splitters are off... so everything works normal, but just for the few WU left on the Ready to send cache last update: 223,850 MB and 821 AP. After that, if the splitters still offline, everything will return to the dryland...

Amazingly one of my machines just managed to connect and nabbed 6 of those APs in one request. That will keep its CPUs happy for 3 days.

On the other hand, I'm getting: 19/11/2012 23:37:13 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. That's not good. ID: 1307955 · |

Maybe That's good ;) I think they maybe implemented something as 'Max simultaneous connected hosts'? E.g. if the servers now process requests from 5000 computers any attempt to connect will be dropped immediately. When some of those 5000 computers finish the request 1 'connection slot' will be free so next computer attempting a connection will be served?

Well, they're trying something new alright: 20/11/2012 00:05:53 | SETI@home | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. That looks like an attempt to bounce me onto the Campus network port. Edit: shortly afterwards, and after the same preamble, it went down the proper path: 20/11/2012 00:12:12 | SETI@home | [http] [ID#1] Info: Done waiting for 100-continue That's the way to do it.

Has anybody else been getting ghosts. i seem to have over 70 work units saying they were downloaded but they haven't. Any suggestions? Have they changed the way work units are downloaded. As in allocating x amount of WU's then downloading them in blocks of 20.

What's with all these current problems facing Seti@home as of late? (rhetorical). This is LAME! Love: me.

Edit: shortly afterwards, and after the same preamble, it went down the proper path: With the trying it could be possible to extend the transaction not to time out pre-maturely. ID: 1308013 · |

I finally got a bundle of completed APs reported a few minutes ago. I've been hitting the update button every 2-3 hours all day and it kept either doing time out or "no headers, no data." On a side-note, Since switching from 6.2.19 to 6.10.58, I have noticed that my cache is not being processed in FIFO. It is all APs..about 17 days worth, and APs with a deadline four days sooner than the ones that keep getting picked to run next are still sitting there not getting started. I know there are cache/queue changes along the way through the build history, but each WU has a 25-day deadline, so wouldn't it still make sense to run the soonest deadlines first (which also happen to be the ones that were acquired first)? I mean, it works out in the end I'm sure, but it's just weird. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) ID: 1308023 · |

SETI UPLOADS of finished work are slowly being retrieved. I had to turn off my proxy server activity and return to the normal BOINC communication channel first. First I used the Network Communication request to break out of a long time-out. Then I did manual update. I am going to try to let them all run by themselves now. A hint came later this afternoon when my little Toshiba Portege R705 with i3 processor and integrated graphics was able to send back its finished work. My Intel i7 2600k based box with two Nvidia GTX 550 Ti cards was just able to send about 60 work units back over the last half hour. The first time in about a day. It had run out of work too. All day Sunday and Monday until mid-afternoon were very dry periods here. I also got new work units to process this evening. Other boxes with Nvidia cards are also slowing returning to life. I found that I could break out of the long timeouts and issue a manual update soon after I updated my i7 2670qm based notebook later this afternoon. Seti is not running right yet, because it is only sending gpu jobs to my i7 2670 qm notebook with one dedicated Nvidia 525m card, but no work at all for its other 7 processors. It's a start. Thank you Seti at Home team working at the lab. Whatever changes you made are helping variety of windows 7 machines and my one core duo notebook using Windows Vista. All have 64 bit operating systems and are running Home Premium. My Core Duo desktop is running Windows 7 Ultimate. Brother Frank Frank Elliott,Member of Carepages.com,a chronic illness support site.

Presently according to the Server Status page there are no splitters of either type running, nor any work ready to send. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1308034 · |

(except a few resends from errors and timeouts, of course) Yet the Cricket graph has been at maximum, throughout. What's all that data? ID: 1308048 · |

What's all that data? Scheduler responding "Project has no tasks available" to all the requests for work? I noticed that too, and can't think of any reason why it would be that way unless they're archiving/retrieving from archives some data. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1308050 · |

I don´t belive in witches, but the exist, exist... A possible explanation, besides some "ghosts in the machine" (servers try to resend ghost units), i realy have no ideia... Something else on the lab could actualy using the 100MB pipe... an "alien virus"?, another project experimental data? I belive is easy to find that, tracing to where/from all data is sended/received... But that must be made by the people who have access to the lab. That could be the source of our latest headaches...

Yes, it could be ghosts being resent - some of my machines had developed a new crop of hauntings overnight. But it looks like it's beginning to decay now - this might be a good time to try manual updates, and help flush the remaining gremlins out of the system. ID: 1308061 · |

Maybe because the daylight, ghost don't like daylight.

Hopefully, it's ghost task reissues. Which should be returned a bit more quickly by hungry hosts, helping to clean up the database. Results in the field and results awaiting validation have both been dropping. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."
