So in the last 6 days we got maybe 10hr worth of work.. And if it sounds like i'm bitching I AM.. When folks volunteer you shouldn't have them standing around with there thumbs up there butt. An yes after 24 years in the US Army I get just a little pissed off when I see 12hr work down in 6 days... So I will continue to bitch and complain as long as a dual 3.6GIG machine is doing nothing but sucking up power.

At the same time, under the same conditions, I've not run short of work.

Why? You do the math.

Has anyone else had there pending credit increase dramatically.

Mine used to hover around 1800 to 2100. I am now at 7200 pending credits. It never has been so high a value.

The reason this is, is because now only 2 people get the results of a WU to work on. Before it was 3, so results came in faster. Now instead of waiting for 1 our of you, you wait for 1, then if that 1 doesn't do it, then you wait for another 1, etc.

Nothing wrong. It's just the nature of how it works. You will eventually get credit, when someone finally finishes a second one to match you.

1 of his computers is using the old MAC app that has a problem with "weakly similar" results. So a third wu is issued and pending credit going through the roof.

Here we go again! Another long week end and again NO WORK FROM SETI. So again I have 2 computers left of sucking up electric and wearing out hard drives and fans for nothing.... Hey SETI what's up with no work for my system to crunch???

So, and this is perhaps a question to which I should know the answer.

Are the multibeam clients the 5.10.18 (Wind) and 5.10.17 (Mac) clients
located at:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

No. Those are BOINC clients, which manage the system and the communications with the servers for every project you're participating in.

The term 'multibeam' refers to a science application, specific to SETI@home. It will be downloaded automatically by your current version of BOINC as and when needed.

Jeff returned today and we all tackled getting the new multibeam client out. So the Windows version has been released, in case you haven't noticed. A Linux version, and a working Mac version (should be recompiled eventually) are also available. This client will chew on classic work until multibeam data becomes available. Speaking of that, Jeff and I are working on the splitter now. We actually fired one up, and a few hundred multibeam workunits went out to the public, but we're still doing work on the automation backend and otherwise, so don't expect a flood of new work just yet. Besides, we really should get the formal press release in order before we dive all the way into the new data. In any event: Woo-hoo!!

Why you get the HTTP error, I do not know. But assuming you are on Broadband, always on. If you set the connection interval to 0, and use the 'Maintain enough work for an additional x days' as your cache setting. The results will report immediately, saving the need to update.

The aborted results are because validation is already complete on that WU. To decrease the number of these that you get, then you would have to decrease your cache. At 0.5 days I've only had one in the last 48 hrs.

AFAIK (as far as I know), HTH is "happy to help". YMMV (your mileage may vary)

WTF?

Fondly quoting MSattler: "Where's the Fish?"
