Can't get any work on the Linux machines. All connections just get internal server error messages from the scheduler.

Just as usual. Now that the Downloads are moving again the Splitters are still idling along. Happens everytime. Once the RTS hits ZERO again, the Splitters will ramp up again. Happens EVERY time.

However i'm now getting sticky downloads, and the splitters still appear to be taking a rest. Ready-to-send: 213k. Splitter output: 13/s And Results waiting for DB purging, now up to 10.5 million (my Valids are almost up to 3,000 now). Even if the splitters come back to life, how much longer can the DB continue with all these files in need of Deletion & Purging before it falls over again? Edit- Ready-to-send now down to 177k, Splitter output now down to 9/s. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1927570 ·

Yes, I wish they would fix the results needing purge problem. It is almost impossible to pull up any computers tasks page because the page takes forever to load, if ever. I have two hosts with over 11K and 12K valid results respectively. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) ID: 1927573 ·

I haven't picked up any work for hours, V8 In-progress numbers continue to decline. Eric posted in the News thread, more database issues. The crunching den is so quiet, can't even hear the fans, CPU at 32C Gpus 30-34C, running out of gas.

I found I still had the individual server IDs active in my host files so I commented them out. Now I get mostly just "project has no tasks".

Do nothing, the tasks showing on your web page are running slow, they are not updating as fast as they usually do, this is due to the server problems, when the server catches up they will update in real time again.
