Post: I've four workunits that won't upload, too... and that message, "Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down." Cross the fingers and wait, I suppose. |

Post: Update: I deleted the setiathome_5.27 exe and redownloaded it (which took forever) but it's working okay, at least on this latest workunit - 08mr07ad.14035.1300.3.6.154. I guess we'll see what happens... |

It's broke. Get the duct tape. |

Post: 9:40 PM Central Time and it's still having issues. It being New Year's Eve in California right now, what do you suppose the odds are of anyone popping in to kick the server? :) |

Post: Make it a sport to read the front page news. Perhaps you didn't read my original post thoroughly... I most certainly do read that regularly. It says "We have turned off work distribution for a bit to allow result uploads to catch up." There is no mention of disabling the schedulers entirely. |

Post: Well, I actually managed to get a couple workunits uploaded last night. However, do you think a guy could contact the scheduler to report the work? Nope. 11/12/2005 4:52:36 PM||Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu] 11/12/2005 4:52:39 PM|SETI@home|Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi failed with a return value of -106 11/12/2005 4:52:39 PM|SETI@home|No schedulers responded Did they somehow mess up the scheduler when they disabled sending new work? |

UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD PROBLEMS
(Message 209314)
Posted 10 Dec 2005 by *Viking*
Post: A few of my results managed to get in, at least one one the first upload attempt. However, I still have 3 (soon to be 4) results sitting there trying to get uploaded. I get either a "timeout" or "error 500" when the upload kacks. New workunits were coming in okay at first, then those too choked. Now I see they have stopped sending new work, but unless everyone tells their BOINC to quit getting new work, the server will still be getting whacked with traffic. With all the troubles this project has had in the last while, I too am thinking about dumping it. Maybe instead I'll do like Gonzo in the movie "Muppets In Space" and just mow a big "I'M HERE" on my lawn, then wait for the aliens to show up... :) |

Post: Aha... should have noticed this earlier. If you go to http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?userid=(put your user id number here) you will likely see what's up. I have a whole pile of "granted" credits pending. 16, to be precise. |

Post: From what I understand, credits aren't necessarily granted until other users who were assigned that work unit also report their results, or the deadline comes up. I could be wrong, of course... If I am correct, then the massive backlog waiting for validation will put a big delay on getting the credit granted. Over 400,000 now. I sure hope someone is looking into this little issue... My total credit hasn't gone up in a while, and I have uploaded several in the last few days. If you check http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_status.html you will see there are over 100,000 waiting for validation. There seems to be a large problem with the validators. That number is climbing, not going down... |

That number is climbing, not going down... You are not alone in this. I have several waiting for validation, too. Let's hope they figure that one out soon! |

Post: In the BOINC Manager, I just keep clicking "Retry Now" on the transfer section until it goes. Yes, I am impatient... :) It has worked for me. Can take a while, though... |
