Post: I have a quad core + GTX570 SOC, 2 SATA drives, 1 CDROM, 2 fans and crunching 24/7 . Besides, it was onsale at Best Buy for $149 for a Thermaltake 850. Can't beat that :) |

Upload server down?
(Message 1153914)
Posted 19 Sep 2011 by Ryan Helfter
Post: Not trying to sound impatient, but did someone alert the SETI team about the upload server? I know they are all busy, so I am not on a rant, but I see on the cricket graphs that egress/ingress is traversing gigabitethernet2_3 however, I am curious what that traffic is on the ingress if the upload server isn't working? Is this some ghost traffic that is piggybacking off the wire that is clogging up pipe for wanted traffic? (I hate to call it a DoS) |

Post: Indeed this may be the case. I got another Computing Error WU on the 280.26 driver. Bad batch of tasks maybe? These were all downloaded in the last few days and span the following applications:

Post: I may be mistaken, but it looks like uploads are not working at the moment. Server status says upload server is up, but not sure if that is accurate. |

Post: Matt, you have always been very helpful and so I am sure it goes without saying that in no way shape or form was me finding someone else who agrees with me on my opinion means that you were wrong. So for the past, present and the future... your opinion matters :) Cheers bro... |

Post: Do what you must, but most sage advice lately has been against using manual flops entries...... Under normal circumstances, I would tend to agree with you, however it seems that this was the only way to get my estimates back down to normal times so that BOINC even request WUs. Otherwise, I was going 3 or 4 hours before BOINC would even make a WU get request (during those 3 to 4 hour periods, BOINC was stating that it was not requesting new tasks even when my cache was empty). Now BOINC is making WU requests and my cache is slowly building up (slllllllllllllllllowwwwwwwwwwwwly being the operative word) :) Although most of these posts are WAY off topic from the BETA 285.27 topic this thread was originally meant for. As for "crunchability", so far so good and seem to be on par with the 280.26 (which actually breaks my normal rule of "if it works, don't mess with it"). I will role back to the WHQL series at the first sign of a problem. |

Post: edit: your host(s) are hidden, so we can't assist with calculations. I allowed my computers to be seen. Can you calculate my flops for the 570 and 560? I used 302.11901e09 for the 570 and 232.65208e09 for the 560. These do seem to have put the completion estimates to where they were before. Thanks... |

Post: I had a driver crash last night, but after a pause and restart of BOINC, the clocks were at default level. This was while it was running a Collatz task. Did you reboot after you upgraded your driver? Even though most times it doesn't seem like it is required. I do it anyway... |

Post: May I ask why it is limited to 100? Why not put 10,000 out there at a time, so people who want work can always get it (assuming bandwidth allows it)? Wouldn't more tasks in the queue (even if bandwidth was maxed out) just mean that they would be available for scheduling and let "Project Backoff" do its thing? |

Post: Ah hah, that makes sense. Also deciding not to mess with the <flops> as my DCF for Seti seems to be very close to 1. <duration_correction_factor>0.970445</duration_correction_factor> |
