Message 91928 - Posted: 10 Mar 2020, 22:12:47 UTC - in response to Message 91926.  

This is odd, as I've not had any stuck ones for over a fortnight on 4 different computers. There must be a reason they fixed it for me and not you :-) It just suddenly started working, before then every machine stuck once a day. I don't think I changed anything that would have fixed it.

I have seen that too. I wonder if it is determined by the number of machines (that is, cores) you have on Rosetta?
As I go down, I will see. It could be that their server chokes up, but would be surprised if it starts working permanently.


I have increased the priority of Rosetta, so it's running almost all the time, but I don't think it coincides with it working better. I'm sure it improved before I did that, or I wouldn't have given it more.

Yep. i have this file stuck to0: boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/download/113/twc_method_msd_cpp_c3212_9mer_gb_000182_msd.zip

It does not download via browsers too right now. Always stops at 2.5/3 KB

Clear R@H server error.

I will leave my four machines with the greatest memory-to-core ratio (12 cores at 32 GB each) on Rosetta.
The others I will have to put in quarantine.

I saw no relationship with this here - all my machines were sticking equally about 2 weeks ago, and now not at all:
16GB 6 cores
8GB 4 cores
8GB 4 cores
8GB 2 of 4 cores (to prevent overheating, it's a laptop with a pathetic cooling fan)

Yes, I don't really expect a limitation based on the number of my own machines. It would be the overall load on their server most likely.

It might be nice if they were to tell us something. We are left to our own remedies otherwise.

I'm thinking either:

1) They half fixed it, so some of us are still having problems and some aren't.

or

2) A lot of people got fed up and stopped running it, lowering the load on their servers so they're coping better.

Maybe the coronavirus warped into a computer virus and has infected their servers to stop them finding a cure?

Yes, exactly. I had another stall, so I am down to three machines.
I am doing my part to lighten the load, but they need to figure out what is going on and tell us, or it will get too light.

I've not seen a single word from anyone on the project. Is there another part of the forum they tend to hang out in?

Actually, I did ask the Moderator about it, and he is forwarding a request.

Another stuck download here as well, and I noticed a work unit crash in my tasks list. I had always regarded Rosetta as a reliable project, but there have been a few cracks recently. Watching with interest, not set no new tasks yet...

<edit>
And another on a different machine...

Yip, mine do the same, can't get work from project A, do project B. If they can't run their servers properly, they won't get the work done.

I haven't had a download problem yet (knock on wood!), though I'm still using Windows 7. What I've seen here and in other thread is that folks using Windows 10 have been reporting this problem.

I have seen them on my Linux (Ubuntu) machines, but not yet on my Windows 7 one.
But that is probably just statistics. I have about 5 Ubuntu machines on Rosetta at any one time (sometimes more), and only one Windows machine. The OS probably doesn't make a difference.

Both of my machines here had stuck downloads overnight. When visiting rarely visited sites, I will be suspending Rosetta. Problem has been around for some time now, without comment or action, a little worrying.
I saw that after killing the stuck downloads, BOINC did not imediately try for another. I can see the rational there under normal circumstances, but the situation at present here is not really normal. One of the machines here has no Rosettas at all on it, and is not requesting any. At the same time, the ready to send field shows a large number. I expect this is a BOINC issue however.
These machines are Windows 8.1 x64. Others I look after for other people/groups vary.

I found out that you can't kill the stuck file(s) - you have to kill the task(s) that is that is stuck downloading - otherwise nothing gets downloaded from the project that has one or more files erroring on download.

Last I saw was a post from Mod.Sense 3+ days ago here saying:
I've sent an EMail to David Kim and asked that he look in to it, pointing out that the hung downloads are preventing machines from getting work so they can resume processing

I only have four Windows 10 machines, no other operating systems, and they were all having the problem a few weeks back, but then just started working. Nothing sticks any more. This is completely random. I think it's just the server having a fault or an overload and you get lucky or not.

It is obviously a SERVER issue.

Does not matter what operating system your computer runs.

I have had downloads stalled on Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1.
