Post: These are the messages I get in BOINC. What happens in my case is that the download occurs successfully to 100%. Therefore it isn't a firewall problem or a DNS problem. But at the final step it fails in its communication with Berkley. THe last occurance blocked all BOINC comunication off the machine so I had to yet again delete the downloads in order to get work from other projects. 02/04/2006 22:52:15|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi 02/04/2006 22:52:15|SETI@home|Reason: To report results 02/04/2006 22:52:15|SETI@home|Requesting 43200 seconds of new work, and reporting 3 results 02/04/2006 22:52:20|SETI@home|Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded 02/04/2006 22:52:21|SETI@home|Started download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.186 02/04/2006 22:52:21|SETI@home|Started download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.192 02/04/2006 22:52:25||request_reschedule_cpus: project op 02/04/2006 22:52:43||Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] 02/04/2006 22:52:43||Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] 02/04/2006 22:52:43|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.186: system I/O 02/04/2006 22:52:43|SETI@home|Backing off 1 minutes and 0 seconds on download of file 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.186 02/04/2006 22:52:43|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.192: system I/O 02/04/2006 22:52:43|SETI@home|Backing off 1 minutes and 0 seconds on download of file 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.192 02/04/2006 22:52:43|SETI@home|Started download of 12ap03aa.5290.15249.417318.1.178 02/04/2006 22:53:05||Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] 02/04/2006 22:53:05|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 12ap03aa.5290.15249.417318.1.178: system I/O 02/04/2006 22:53:05|SETI@home|Backing off 1 minutes and 0 seconds on download of file 12ap03aa.5290.15249.417318.1.178 02/04/2006 22:53:43|SETI@home|Started download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.186 02/04/2006 22:53:43|SETI@home|Started download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.192 02/04/2006 22:54:06||Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] 02/04/2006 22:54:06||Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] 02/04/2006 22:54:07|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.186: system I/O 02/04/2006 22:54:07|SETI@home|Backing off 1 minutes and 0 seconds on download of file 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.186 02/04/2006 22:54:07|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.192: system I/O 02/04/2006 22:54:07|SETI@home|Backing off 1 minutes and 0 seconds on download of file 05au01ab.28341.28433.997154.1.192 02/04/2006 22:54:07|SETI@home|Started download of 12ap03aa.5290.15249.417318.1.178 02/04/2006 22:54:31||Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu] 02/04/2006 22:54:31|SETI@home|Temporarily failed download of 12ap03aa.5290.15249.417318.1.178: system I/O 02/04/2006 22:54:31|SETI@home|Backing off 1 minutes and 0 seconds on download of file 12ap03aa.5290.15249.417318.1.178 |

Post: Seti is currently down. They had a server crash a few days back & now the scheduler keeps locking but there are plenty of other projects out there to do. The trick with Boinc is to join at least three projects. Usually at least one will be up. But even then sometimes, well, it can get kind of quiet. |

Post: UnL33T do you have one laptop or two? I suspect your problem is that you have one laptop and you've changed the setting on your original computer. What you need to do if that is the case is merge the two records (the option is at the bottom of the computer pages). After that change the setting again. |

Post: Occasionally the servers go down. Even on Classic Seti they went down. So you can either twiddle thumbs or signup with a couple of other projects & do useful work even though seti is down. |

(Message 122554)
Posted 12 Jun 2005 by PeterColin
Post: When I transferred I found Boinc to be faster. But then with Seti the real key to speed is cache size. Maybe Boinc Seti has a larger file size and is too big for the cache on the PC that you are running it on. My current PC has a 2MB cache but a 1.6GHz chip but runs Seti it speeds equal to a 3.2GHz PC. |

Post: Classic Seti has to be removed as by joining Boinc your old Seti account will be transferred. Also they will both be trying to use the spare processing power on your PC and only one will get it. |

Posted 3 Jun 2005 by PeterColin
Post: One oddity I noticed on my system is that when removing open office (1.9.100) it needed me to shut down Boinc Manager before it could do so. So I'm wondering if you are also running Open office possibly with the icon in the system tray (on the bottom right). I believe that you are having a problem connecting the manager to the daemon. In the manager, File - Select computer. Type in localhost. This should work. |

Post: I'm also having this problem(version 4.43), but with me it only ever happens at start up. When I look in the Boinc Manager I get blank screens. I then exit the manager using the exit command on the file menu. When I restart the manager using the shortcut on the start menu and check the messages I see a complete list of all activities that have taken place on the machine. This reveals that the Boinc software was apparently processing data successfully while the manager was shut down. So in my case boinc is working perfectly while the manager cannot connect to it. My problem is that I have to continually restart it. Prior to this I used 4.25 without any problems. I am not running it as a service by the way. I believe that you are having a problem connecting the manager to the daemon. In the manager, File - Select computer. Type in localhost. This should work. |

Originally I planned to copy the directory straight to the new computer, but I think I'll just ditch the files and just set the projects up on the new machine. In the meaantime I think I'll leave them as they are as they do eventually get the projects done. |

The three projets are Seti, Einstein, and Protein Preditor. The project tha gets missed varies, but over several hours I generally find that one of them hasn't run. |

Post: This is caused by SP2. During the RC1 testing last year I noticed that downloads crawled along at 100kb an hour on a 512kb broadband link. I pointed this out to Microsoft and it seems that Automatic updates detect how much processor percentage you are using and if the machine is busy downloads in slow time. Otherwise the downloads happen at normal speed. The advantage is that gamers don't suddenly find a Windows update popping up when they are about to shoot someone. But for the rest of us it is a pain. |
