Usually it is down by now. Maybe the putative ram upgrade is delaying things. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). ID: 1984780 ·

Don't know if the delayed upgrade of the last 32GB into carolyn happened or not . . . . it seemed very responsive and current even without the full memory package since last Tuesday. The website and servers seem to be running very well and the website is responsive and quick for a change. A pleasure to use. Good job, lab elves!

I had a stuck upload on a host that would never start over two days. Exiting BOINC and restarting never changed its condition. I know I could have edited client_state but it wasn't worth the effort and possible dumping of all work so I just aborted the upload. I too see some very slow downloads. Takes a while for them to start and finish. I also have some go into delayed retries because my connect time is reduced to 90 seconds and they never get started in time.

I've been watching the deletions and purges. That used to be what slowed access to your task views. But they have been very constant since the memory upgrade and servers upset recovery. Not much deviation in any of the weekly Haveland graphs. So unsure what is causing the slowdown now.

The website was "snappy" when they first recovered and all the hardware was running. But the web pages for tasks are taking much longer to update or show now. Hope that after tomorrows recovery that the snappiness returns. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) ID: 1985832 ·

Quite a large difference between your account and mine. My database is much larger so takes much longer to read and refresh.
