Panic Mode On (21) Server problems
(Message 919095)
Posted 18 Jul 2009 by  TerryG
Post: Not sure it's going to get better soon either. The site was more or less closed this morning (UK time) to allow the replica to catch up (I believe). However, I've noticed that is slowly slipping further behind. Best to follow ML1's advice and attach to another project while you wait. It will sort itself out eventually. That's what you get for being part of such a popular project! |

Post: Could someone explain why the uploads aren't getting through quickly even though the Cricket graphs are showing (generally) less than 50Mbs? Not complaining, just wondering.

Why is there no work?

Post: Not sure if the fact the replica database is still offline has anything to do with this - I'm sure I've seen a lack of work units being sent out before when this happens. |

Post: I got a 'Validate Error' on one of my WUs: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/result.php?resultid=1209407979 What happens to this? Is there any further attempt to validate the WU? |

Post: The cricket graphs show no traffic since just after 15:00 Berkely time (I think that's 22:00 UTC): Cricket Graphs Could be the servers need a kick or the early start to the weekly outage advertised on the front page is a bit earlier than we all expected! |

Astropulse FAQ
(Message 804670)
Posted 3 Sep 2008 by TerryG
Post: Of course, with bad luck, my system did an update,and I lost 8 hours to a reboot :-( Are you running BOINC as a service? If you were, it would have started straight after the reboot even without you logging on - you then wouldn't have wasted that 8 hours. Wait until your AP unit has completed and then reinstall ensuring the install option 'Protected application execution' is checked. This will ensure BOINC runs as a service. |

Astropulse rip off
(Message 801797)
Posted 24 Aug 2008 by TerryG
Post: I've completed 3 or 4 AP WUs now, all around the 250000 - 300000 second mark and the highest I've been granted was about 760 - half of what I claimed. Here's an example that hasn't been granted as of writing (the others have dropped off the end of the list): http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=313876961 It does make me want to abort any further AP WUs until there's a fix or possibly at least a good explanation! |

Post:
Errm - unfortunately, yours stats will always have the same value. You're using a URL which always link to your latest figues. Have a look at your signature now and check back tomorrow - the same message will have the new figures (now that it appears the XML stats are being sent again). They look prety good as well (well, better than mine, anyway ;)). BTW - I've had little blue ones for the past week! |

I wouldn't worry too much about your WUs about to pass their dates - if there are problems at the SETI end, these WUs are usually honoured. You'll get the credit - eventually! |

I got one unit on one machine out of three. I guess the server is being swamped as the others haven't managed to download anything yet. Oh well! One's better than none. Well done guys. |

Post: does anyone know what projects are good for a very slow machine?? You could try uFluids - although be warned - most of the units take about 15 minutes on my AMD XP1900+ machine, but occassionally you get one that takes up to two hours or longer. |
