Just got a "Project down for maintenance" response, so it looks like a bit more work to be done to get things up again.

But keep the new recordings flowing from Arecibo: recent tapes have included lots of VLAR work, which is both slower and more likely to include interesting data. Win win.

This has the extra bonus that new Arecibo data would produce Astropulse work too and those being many times slower to crunch would be the third win.

And for the fourth win - Arecibo has been busy observing while we've been away. Lots of new tapes have piled up on the SSP.

Scheduler requests return 'Project is temporarily shut down for maintenance' but the forum still keeps working, so it is not as totally shut down as during the regular Tuesday outages.

I finally got to report with NNT set, now I have allowed tasks now the exercise is to get some.

---

And I promptly got 9 for my GTX1060, woo hoo!

---

Still getting no contact with the schedulers even with NNT.

All of mine have now reported, in fits and starts and with various interruptions. I don't think I'll start them up again until the morning - backup projects will be sufficient.

i'm getting occasional completed task reports. seems to be luck of the draw.

I'm using a script based "manual" project update every 15 mins to mitigate the long backoffs on the times that it fails.

watch -n 900 ./boinccmd --project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu update

Got 75 WUs on one host.

I have got 14 tasks total since the dt ended. Mostly one or two at a time.

Edit: And the forum phantom granted me 48 more right after typing that ;)

---

I would like that phantom too, lol.

---

Cache is filling I'm up to 73, things are looking OK.

---

Got 16 on one host that went to immediate download backoff. No luck in budging them through.

Getting "No tasks available" with 770k ready to send on the server. I gave up trying to understand the logic behind this...

100 other hosts beat you to the RTS buffer first.

. . There are clearly still issues to be worked out ... :(

. . Unless those 100 hosts got 8,000 WUs each :)

? ?

I got 'no tasks available' again and again. Then I though maybe those 100 other hosts are hitting the server at the same five minute frequency as my host but so that my host always hits it just after them. So for the next update I disabled network activity before the timer reached zero. And then when it had zeroed, I waited another 10 seconds before enabling network activity. The client requested stuff right after I enabled it and immediately got a bunch of tasks!

But I guess this was just a coincidence because all the requests after that have resulted 'no tasks available' despite this phase shift.

For the record: the 770k was "0m" ago. Something is broken.
Btw, is there some kind of bug tracker somewhere where the issues are tracked and addressed?
