And now Eric has confirmed that they think they've fixed it. DNS to automatic, but please report any fresh problems.

I hope Vader enjoyed having the weekend off.

I just tried for automatic DNS discovery and I still got my download from GeorgeM. I also got the damn task headers for the 3 tasks downloaded. Keep wondering if there were some other changes in the back-end.

I've found this command 'boinccmd --network_available' in order to retry stalled download

From an old boinc 6 manual
https://boinc.mundayweb.com/wiki/index.php?title=BOINCCMD_command_line_switches
It seems this option have disappears from boinc 7 but it still working ?

Now, vader is online so I don't know if it would fix the stalled download....but it cleared my remaining stalled wu.

Also, anyone knows what means the <state> field in client_state.xml ?
From my own test :
- state = 5 (completed)
- state = 3 (completed with error)
- state = 6 (cancelled)
- state = 2 (ready to start)
- state = 1 (or/and 4 ?) [ completed but waiting for upload)[/url]

Yes 'boinccmd --network_available' still works, using v7.8.3.

The splitter output is nose-diving along with the RTS buffer since the lads got into the office this morning. The fix to Vader the cause, maybe?

Rather than a seti problem for a change :-) Been getting this for the dev board:
An error occurred during a connection to boinc.berkeley.edu. SSL received a malformed Handshake record. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_MALFORMED_HANDSHAKE

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

Anyone else experiencing that?

Haven't seen that error, but I did some very strange responses from the servers when I set http_debug and got work. One of the things in the server reply was a call out to some foreign website in a language I didn't recognize that seemed to have something do with certificate authority.

Was going to get the unknown server URL from the post at the Cafe, but that is unreachable right now.
[Edit] Got into the Cafe now and this the questionable URL that is part of the server handshake.
https://www.netlock.net/docs

According to https://setistats.haveland.com/, 'ready to send' dropped exactly in step with 'results in progress' climbing - that's Vader (clear the backlog, request some more). I'm only surprised the residual effect was so large.

But the new problem is the splitters not ramping up. I hope they didn't restore that typo from backup while they were fixing Vader.

Saw that Keith, it was www.netlock.net/docs I recall. A hungarian site.

You're lucky, still getting that error(using firefox).

Opened IE & got in but the site is screwy :-(

Yes, I finally got into the Cafe and found the site and then when Chrome offered to translate, saw the site was Hungarian.

Now, the issue is I can't get into any part of the BOINC Message boards. Just get the error message "This site can’t provide a secure connection
boinc.berkeley.edu sent an invalid response."

I'm in using IE but the site is looking like an FTP site.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/
The secure URL though, gives errors. Different errors depending on browser.

Works great in Firefox but still looks like a plain FTP site in IE. However, thanks for the link :-)

Yep reminds me of years ago with my thread "Boinc's death knell. Now that was a hot potato & no one can mention hindsight :-)

But the new problem is the splitters not ramping up. I hope they didn't restore that typo from backup while they were fixing Vader.

They're back up to full speed, for the latest show at least.

And now Eric has confirmed that they think they've fixed it. DNS to automatic, but please report any fresh problems.

That probably coincides with 18:00hrs on the Haveland graphs.
Ready-to-send took a nose dive (for some reason it took a while for the splitters to pick up the pace again), and in-progress climbed rapidly back up to roughly where it was before the last hiccups.

Average-turnaround & received-last-hour numbers are still not updating very often (say between 3-9 hours).

Splitter output is falling away again.
Hoping it's just a glitch., but it might be worth bringing it to Eric's attention. They had been doing very well prior to the repair work for the download issues.

But it is Tuesday so someone will be in the lab in about 8 hours time to shut them all off and we can go to sleep for a nice quiet evening (well evening in UK time...)

Splitter output still not up to the load, Ready-to-send buffer draining.
Which will come first- The weekly outage or an empty buffer?

So, we're back and twenty plus minutes later.....still getting "Project has no tasks available". D'oh!
Edit. Right after posting, work downloaded, as half-expected. Mission accomplished.
