They turned on a plan_class which was shut down because of these errors, but were actively developing the replacement. Funny part is it has now been running for 3 months, and used to cause many, many more problems before. Throttling now makes zero sense, and keeping a faulty plan_class active makes even less.

. . I take it then you are running stock. It is too hard to see any host's stats to be clear from here.

Somebody open the gates of the new work generation and we have a massive amount of new work available to DL. Your cache is refilling at about 2400 WU per hour. If the feeding frenzies continues it could reach your 20K level in about 8 hrs. Hope they not shut down the new work production before that. Was unclear at what exactly hour that shutdown will be done. AFAIK they just tell the date March 31. Lets see what the day bring to us. Happy hunting for new WUs.

. . I am happy to clear up the resends, they need to be sorted out. Just as long as the results will actually validate and clear the WUs. If they are just going to become a smouldering pile of trash left in the bin then that would be a waste of time and electricity. :(

You didn't think this would go smoothly, did you?

♫ And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all, and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way ♫

Very fitting Jord!

And now, it's the 31st of March, even in California.
It's the final countdown...
Europe - The Final Countdown

. . The final stretch ...

I think it's all a matter of perspective, but we all know the history over the last 20 years, and the number of changes, and accidents, and issues, and upgrades, and new technologies, and well...you can't deny there is a bit of this in there too.

That's adult beverage music there.

And then there were the days that some poor college kid came in one early morning, and didn't get enough caffeinated beverage, and oops...

We can be optimist no?
Maybe they discover the system is now working so well there is no need to shut down.
What happening to make that? Did the admins finally discovered what was the source of all the problems?

The feeding festival stops?

We can't be optimist. :(
Forget about. it's back.

i was wondering why one of my systems was only getting 1000 tasks. but I found the issue, floodgates are open!

15,000 and counting on the other system.

Well it’s confirmed. No longer just a “HOPE”, but the project will continue to accept tasks and perform resends after today.

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=85412&postid=2042009#2042009

As promised, we've stopped the process that puts new data into the queue today. Data distribution will continue until the files shown on the status pages are done. We'll be accepting results and resending results that didn't validate for a while.

Hmmm, a recurring theme.

As we speak the last tape is crunching, 26mr20ad not expect anymore new WU in large quantities, instead few resends.

At least they give us a bang at the end and our caches are filled.

We only could thanks Erik and the Seti Lab Team for all they do for us & the project in this long years.

Thanks for the cross-post, Ian. That's good to know and a reasonable way to wind down so there is no waste for the volunteer crunchers.

Now the thing to debate about is the exact meaning of "for a while" ;)

. . If the boffins revisit that script to expedite resends of old tasks not likely to return a result, then we may see a stream of resends that will clear much of the backlog. If not then 'a while' may be several months.

Already starting to see a lot of resends. Looks like I'm off the do not trust list. Thanks Eric. Appreciated.

Just had 4-500 of them, all _2 or_3's, keep me going for a few minutes:-)
