There isn't enough work for people who want it,

WCG have upgraded their systems, there's now unlimited CPU work for cancer research.

There isn't enough work for people who want it,

Yup , but now >> Download server boinc-files.bakerlab.org . Running
so , that`s a good restart :-)

Yes, we can now be 100% sure there's nothing to do....

Great, but there is no work to do. I will now look at the Project status page daily to see if there is any work for my machine. If so, I will re-enable getting new tasks and see what happens.

Why not just leave it on all the time like I do? Go do another project and leave Rosetta getting work too. When they have some, Boinc will get it.

... because it has been getting "fake downloads" that set up empty files where filled in ones should be. And it fills up my "Transfers" tab with all that stuff. I have to "Abort Transfer" on each of them and do a "Reset Project" every [censored] time it feels like pestering me.

Mine is n all the time, running other projects.

Finally got the first Rosetta task in weeks.

I've never seen, or heard anyone else mention, these fake downloads. Something odd going on there.

There certainly has been something odd going on here. Look at these earlier posts on this board.

Is anyone else getting fake downloads?

Is anyone else getting fake downloads?

Yes , I had lots of them when rosetta had work to do and the download server was `not running`
and when I did get some to download ok they would not upload when crunched and timed out as `no response`
And now the download server is `running` there is no work to download .
funny old world . . .

Two threads in number crunching forum :-
Problen downloading work tasks.
and
Can't upload finished work units

Hello, for almost a month now, the downloads status is "Download: Retry in hh:mm:ss (project backoff: hh:mm:ss)"

Nothing changed from a month ago, reinstalled and the issue stays the same. Platform is Windows 10.

BOINC Manager
Version: 7.16.11 (x64)
wxWidget Version: 3.0.1

Any advice?

Thanks

Same as thousands of other Rosetta crunchers = were are stuffed until the admin fix the problem .
Like - "Users in last 24 hours = 35" That's the total that are getting any work at the moment , otherwise known as something big is broken and it ain`t fixed , yet .

Looks ok to me, they have very little work, it's been taken, and it's being returned. From the home page:

Total queued jobs: 0
In progress: 4,026
Successes last 24h: 356

And the odd ones I've been getting download, process, then upload just fine.

This is on 8 different Windows 11 machines ranging from 4 core to 24 core. AMD and Intel.

Yes , very little work to do ,
Just had a look through `top hosts` to see who gets work or not and it seem to be completely random .
One of mine cant even reattach to the project.
and another is unable to download the database and applications after reattaching .
Both intel win7 .

I looked at both my machines. Neither has any work.

My main computer is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa). using an
Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-2245 CPU @ 3.90GHz [Family 6 Model 85 Stepping 7] with 64 GBytes of RAM.
On this one, I did a reset project because I could not see anything wrong with it, but it was full of junk. I did that only because it would not download anything even when the web site said there was work. It then tried to download the databae and applications (4 very large files), but has been unable to do it. It tries from time-to-time, but cannot do it. It is having no trouble with ClimatePrediction, World Community Grid, Einstein, MilkyWay, and Universe. It complains like this:

I have three running right now on my main Windows 11 24 core Ryzen, it got them 2.5 hours ago: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?hostid=6181959.

Resetting project on my other (almost identical) Windows 11 24 core Ryzen to see if it can download the main files.... https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6219929

It did not attempt to download the main file as I'd hoped, to see if I could recreate your problem. Maybe it only does that if there are tasks available. Until such time, I won't know. The tasks I'm running may be using the data files downloaded yonks ago. Not sure how often they update them.

I have an idea. Get hold of those two files from another machine. Here's the methyl database: (at half a GB, it will take a while to upload, see LHC below, I'll put the link here shortly). But as I only run Windows (on genuine licenses ROFL) I don't have the linux graphics file, only the windows equivalent. Somebody else in here may be able to provide it.

I also use Squid on the main computer - this means all my 8 computers download the file once between them, then it's cached. I installed it to reduce the massive load on the LHC servers. I'm maxing out my 7Mbit uplink 24/7, and was getting a similar amount downloading (and the two were getting in the way of each other). At least now my LHC downloads are virtually nil. LHC programs are very stupid, every individual virtualbox task accesses LHC internally and downloads common files, so every single core on a 24 core computer is downloading the same thing 24 times for every task, then another 24 times when the next batch starts!

Stupid useless forum doesn't let me edit an old post.
