If so, it's 'getting annoying and therefor time to fix it.
During the time your computer is trying to connect, you can put on the kettle for a cup of tea/coffee, drink it, take nap and you'll still be in time.

Or are we having this problem in the Netherlands only ?

its affecting me as well ... i have mangaed to make a cup of tea. and drink it before it even starts attempting to download a WU. its starting to get annoying now as i want to crunch away and cant :(

---

Whole page of downloads failed. Been like this for a while.

Someting on the project needs fixing I guess.

---

my 3 computers are waiting for work.. doing my head in they have nuffin to do !

---

This issue does not seem to be local to any group of users. It is possible the project team is not aware this is happening, so I have reported the problem to them via e-mail.

EDIT: There is discussion on another thread that is related to this topic. David Baker has responded to that thread stating that they are looking into the problem.

We have just finished modifying the webserver to address the large number of connection problems in the past week or so... Sorry for the delays. This should improve matters for all.

It seems to be running much better now, than it was thins morning.

Thanks for the speedy fix.

Regards

it is becoming increasingly apparent we will not find any on our own.

New User here - Got two machines running so far and the third PC connects but gets message : " No work from project."

Is this same problem others are experiencing?

The forum has gone dog-slow again.

Proudly Banned from Predictator@Home and now Cosmology@home as well. Added SETI to the list today. Temporary ban only - so need to work harder :)

I'm having problems downloading to one of the computers that I have running Rosetta, but it is only certain WUs that have a problem. I've had many newer WUs come through fine.

I did a manual "Retry Now" on each of them, and I noticed a common denominator to the files that will not transfer - The actual files are larger (most of them 10-20x) than the "expected" size. My hypothesis is that the file gets downloaded, then a check happens to make sure that the file is "good", but the size / checksum doesn't match expected values, so it fails the transfer. Not much of a reach, I know.

So... do I abort the transfers, or should I turn off the validation? Would that actually help? More importantly, how in the world did the expected sizes become different than the real sizes?

EDIT: There is nothing in the message log that really indicates what is going on - just "Temporarily failed transfer".

This happens sometimes. It is not really an error in the file size, (though you are correct that it looks like one) it is a problem on the server side, usually a dropped connection. Usually, in time, these will sort out by themselves, but you can stop and start BOINC and that will "sometimes" get them going. In any case if left alone they will eventually download by themselves.

Thanks for the info!

ive got serveral problems to connect to server, i think your server is running on his bandwith-limit ;)
is there a chance to say boinc: "download work for a week, but try every 24 hours to up- and download workunits" so that rosetta never run out of work cause of connection-problems?

With the new time setting you can run one single WU for 4 days, then connect and get a new one. Or you can download a few and set the time to 4 days and connect any time after one of them is done.
