AFAIK, if BOINC want contact to the server, and get 5 or 6 times no well answer back, then master file will be downloaded. (for to download the 'new' server URLs). ID: 1643493 ·

At last at least an informed rumor. Or call it an informed WAG. But at least better than dead silence. Given my experience with predictions I am penciling in March 1 for things to be somewhat "normal" ID: 1643494 ·

I'm getting more than a little tired of getting 'unable to contact server' error messages from BOINC. This has been ongoing for days now, and the downtime hasn't resulted it it being sorted out.

Sure acts like major traffic slams or database hits after each maintenance window that persist for a day or more. Traffic's getting through, but when a database-driven web page take 90 seconds or more to load, as it is right now, there's not much chance of successful downloads or reporting before the sessions time out.

I think you are very right Jim. After maintenance the sudden surge in work just seems to bring the whole thing crumbling down. I would suggest leaving the validators and simulators off line until network traffic and database normalize, then hit the database with the full load of work. ID: 1643547 ·

Everything else loads instantaneously. I wonder which server is having problem. Also could someone explain the blue line of the cricket graph? Average out (wehat ever it means) is staying very high, does this mean anything? ID: 1643549 ·

Typically that is the server loading up with new files to split, but I'm not sure if that is the case at this time. ID: 1643551 ·

Very little is getting sent out in response to work requests. No way to know, but a wild guess that the scheduling server isn't giving split results to the download servers?? ID: 1643568 ·
