I would take the existence of this thread to be contrary to your assertions. Please don't attempt to characterize people you've never met. Mikey has so absolutely right. I am here for the science, so I will stick with the project, but indeed when problems occur we are, for a long time, on or one. When someone posts an error or something at Einstein@home, he or she will get an answer very soon from other crunchers and within 12-16 hours from the admins. Greetings, TJ. |

I understand the frustration. I agree that zero problems is optimal. I just don't want to see what amounts to name-calling and personal attacks on the message boards. As most of you know, I am an at-home volunteer like the rest of you. So I am not directly involved in study nor correction of the code problems. So please read the following with that in mind. To me it seems very curious that the low credit granted when tasks fail does not reflect more significantly in the overall project RAC. There must still be some unique aspect to the failing machines that has not been identified. Or the user base overall is very slow to adopt BOINC v7. I suppose both is possibly the case.

I may have seen a reason for the RAC oddities. It seems that BOINC permits adding more credits to user accounts for workunits that did not pass the validator, but still returned useful information. These additional credits do NOT show up in the RAC sent back to the user's computer, but still show up in the total credits for that user. Could it be that a significant percentage of the current credits are granted that way, instead of automatically being granted by the validator? |

I suppose that is a possibility. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense |

Hi. I've been having some problems with downloads the last week or so, it doesn't matter what size file they just stop for some reason then time out. This can happen a few times on one file while others download o.k. other times they get so far then all get stuck. ps/ only Rosetta files, W.C.G. is fine. ----------------- Wed 16 Jan 2013 16:22:57 EST rosetta@home Temporarily failed download of input_hyb_ba_bench_01_3vdxC_yfsong.zip: HTTP error Wed 16 Jan 2013 16:22:57 EST rosetta@home Temporarily failed download of input_rb_01_15_35935_68145__t000__0_C1_robetta.zip: HTTP error Wed 16 Jan 2013 16:22:58 EST rosetta@home Started download of input_hyb_ba_bench_01_3vdxC_yfsong.zip Wed 16 Jan 2013 16:22:58 EST rosetta@home Started download of input_rb_01_15_35935_68145__t000__0_C1_robetta.zip Wed 16 Jan 2013 16:23:00 EST Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.

My RAC has dropped from almost 300 down to the 180s in the last few days. I've gone back to SETI, call me when you get your stuff fixed. |

Oh well. It's Sunday so I expect we will have to wait another day for the comms to be sorted out. Warped |

I see however that the amount of "ready to send" WU's is decreasing so some are getting new work... Greetings, TJ. |

It's Sunday so I expect we will have to wait another day for the comms to be sorted out.Don't hold your breath, Monday is a holiday here in the US of A, we likely have to wait longer for anyone to fix whatever is broken. Not that the project admins are more responsive during a work week though... :-( Ralf |

Could well be Tuesday due to the holiday tomorrow. I'd note that at least some of the communications problems that happen with this project are related to administration over which the project has no control and precious little influence. It may simply be that someone in control of that aspect decided to change routing over the weekend and inadvertently decided to not inform the project people of the change. That has happened a few times in the past. In any event, my own guess is 'best case' -- tomorrow someone on the project side becomes aware of the problem (and even posts something about it). Then, on Tuesday, the folks responsible for the IP addressing acknowledge they did some and either undo it or provide instructions so that folks can reset DNS to pick up the change. Until then, I've suspended Rosetta processing and bumped up Malaria, Einstein, POEM and SETI to pick up the slack. Oh well.

Same problem here not uploading, reporting work and getting work. This are some error messages, it started at 02:15 pm at 16th. Yep !!! ... I'm still having Problems Uploading. They run for a while and then revert to try Again in nn:nn:nn and run for a while at that then revert to Active, and keep reverting from one to the other. They are only Actice for a few seconds to a few minutes at a time. After so many attempts to Upload, and Rety, they show that they will Project Backoff in nn:nn:nn My Tasks are ready to Backoff at the moment in about 90 Minutes. I have been manually clicking Retry Now, but I've given up. I'm letting them count down to Project Backoff, and if it Fails, too bad. But if it Reverts to Retry again, ad doesn't work, I'm going to Abort Transfer. In the meantime, I've Selected NO NEW TASKS from R@H. I have a couple more Tasks ready to Report, and if They also cause the same Issues, I'm dropping R@H. |

Server page is all green however... [/quote] I'll bet I've seen that 'server status' page actually show something as 'down' maybe once over a few years. AFAIK it's rarely if ever accurate or updated. Oh well. |
